Reducing your monthly electricity bills is a major incentive for going solar.
The cost of installing a solar system has significantly reduced over the last 5 years are now makes an easy investment decision.
With electricity demand expected to double by 2050 and electricity costs continuing to rise, the time is right to go solar!
Solar Energy Benefits
Energy Saving
Lower monthly electricity bills by harnessing the sun’s energy rather than purchasing from an electricity retailer. Protect yourself from rising electricity prices.
Furthermore you can store and/or sell any surplus energy back to the grid.
Energy Independence
By adding a battery to your solar system, reliance on the electricity grid is reduced.
Be the only one in the street with the lights on during a power cut!
Reduce your Carbon Footprint
Electricity generated from solar panels reduces the need to generate electricity by burning fossil fuels like coal and gas which create carbon dioxide (CO2) and other nasties.
Home Investment
A solar system is an asset and deemed an improvement for your home.
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? Magic!
Step 1: 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 facing a northerly or westerly direction, and tilted at a particular angle to maximize the amount of sunlight that each panel receives.
Step 2: Power Conversion
An 'Inverter' converts the DC into alternating current (AC) electricity, making it useable for homes and businesses.
Step 3: Usage
With grid-connected solar systems; home appliances consume electricity generated from the solar system first and then, if required, draw from the grid. During the night when there is no sunlight the 'Inverter' will switch to using electricity supplied from the grid.
Step 4: Storage
If you have a Battery any excess electricity generated from your solar system during the day can be stored to use at night.
Step 5: 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.
Our Process
Our 3-Step process makes going solar simple.
Determining the the best solution can often be confusing, we understand every home and business has different energy needs and sustainability goals.
If you are building new, renovating or retrofitting an existing house or commercial building, our team at Future Energy are here to help you every step of the way.
Step 1: Consultation
One of our solar experts will visit and determine if making the switch to solar is feasible for your needs.
We will provide you with a detailed feasibility proposal including pricing and estimated returns.
With our extensive knowledge in solar, they will answer all of your queries and provide you with all of the information you require to make a confident switch.
Step 2: Site Assessment
One of our Solar Electricians will visit your site and make an electrical and structural assessment.
After the site has been assessed and approved, the team will confirm the system layout and make sure you are happy with how it looks.
Once you are happy, we will then lodge the grid application for you and the install process can begin.
Step 3: Installation
Our team are SEANZ certified and experienced solar installers. Our team know exactly what needs to be done from the moment they set foot on site.
After the system is installed, we set up your cloud monitoring portal so you and see your system works in real time.
Finally, after the system is signed off by a local inspector, we complete our handover document detailing everything you need to know about your system and any on going maintenance required.
