Residential solar panels and battery solutions

Absolutely! Perth is the sunniest capital city in the world and has an average of 8 hours sun per day all year round, making it an ideal location for solar power. You can significantly reduce your energy bills and contribute to a greener environment.

On average, homeowners can save up to 60% on their energy bills with a properly designed and installed solar system. Your exact savings will depend on your energy usage habits and the size of your system.

While a battery is not essential, it can significantly enhance your solar system by storing excess energy for use during non-sunny periods or power outages, providing you with greater energy independence. As an added benefit, getting a battery allows you to install more panels onto your home, and save even more energy!

The number of solar panels you need depends on various factors such as your energy consumption, the size and efficiency of the panels, and the amount of sunlight your home receives. A detailed assessment by our experts can provide a precise number tailored to your requirements.

Consider factors such as efficiency, warranty and cost. It's also important to choose panels from reputable manufacturers that are known to perform well in Perth’s climate.

Trees can impact the efficiency of your solar panels by casting shadows and reducing sunlight exposure. However, strategic placement of panels and installing smart devices such as solar optimisers to reduce the impact of shading can mitigate this.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the ideal orientation for solar panels is facing north to maximise exposure to sunlight throughout the day. However, east and west-facing panels can also be effective, depending on your specific energy needs and roof configuration. Our team can assess your property and recommend the optimal panel placement.

Solar panels are most effective in areas with high sun exposure. Perth, with its abundant sunshine, is ideal for solar power. Generally, even partial sunlight can produce significant energy, though full sun exposure maximises efficiency. Shading analysis during installation planning ensures optimal panel placement.

Most modern roofs can support the weight of solar panels. However, older or weaker structures may require reinforcement. Our team conducts a thorough inspection to ensure your roof can safely support the panels.

The installation process involves a site assessment, system design, obtaining necessary permits, installation of the panels and inverters, and finally connecting the system to the grid. A typical solar system installation is completed within a day.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the panels to remove dust and debris, checking the system for any damage, and ensuring the inverter is functioning properly. It’s recommended to have a professional inspection and clean annually.

To maximise savings, consider using energy-efficient appliances, scheduling high-energy tasks during daylight hours, and investing in a solar battery storage system to store excess energy for use when needed.
