Solar Energy

Solar power is one of the world’s fastest growing energy resources and is now more affordable than ever.

Switching to solar can cut your electricity bills and carbon footprint. Solar panel prices have dropped significantly, making it a smart investment. With rising electricity demand and costs, now is the perfect time to go solar!

Why Solar?

Energy Saving

Save thousands on electricity bills, offsetting the initial investment and protecting against rising energy costs.

Energy Independence

Solar power provides a reliable and renewable source of energy, This independence offers stability and predictability in energy costs.

Environmental Benefits

Solar power generates clean, renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, combating climate change, and protecting the environment.

Home Investment

Homes with solar panels often see increased property value, making them more attractive to buyers and leading to higher resale value.

How does Solar work?

Solar energy is a renewable or ‘green’ energy powered entirely by the sun. But how do solar PV panels turn sunlight into electricity? Discover how solar panels can harness the sun’s energy to power your needs throughout the day.

Power Generation

Solar ‘PV Panels’ capture sunlight, causing electrons in the panel’s silicon cells to release energy that becomes direct current (DC) electricity. PV panels are generally fitted on the roof and tilted at a particular angle to maximise the amount of sunlight that each panel receives.

Power Conversion

An ‘Inverter’ inverts the DC into alternating current (AC) electricity, making it useable for homes and businesses.

Usage

Grid-connected solar systems consume electricity generated from Solar System first, at night when there is no sunlight the ‘Solar Inverter’ will switch to using electricity supplied from the grid.

Storage

If you have a Battery Solution any excess electricity generated from your solar system during the day can be stored to use at night.

Export

If no Batteries have been installed any excess electricity generated from your solar system can be sold back to the grid for a nominal credit.
