How do solar panel systems work ?

Solar panels are made up of solar cells. The solar cells job is to convert the sun’s light into solar energy via a photovoltaic method. Photovoltaics is the atomic-level conversion of direct sunlight into solar energy.

When solar energy is processed, it becomes direct current electricity, often known as DC power. To utilise that DC energy, your home must be converted to alternating current electricity AC. Your inverter does this by converting solar DC energy into AC electricity to power your home. 

The more sunlight you can capture, the more energy you will be able to generate and use during the day. You may easily sell the excess electricity you don’t use for your home back to the grid for a profit. 

Brisbane solar systems are provided with more than enough sun throughout the day. Brisbane has an average of up to 5 hours of peak sunlight every day according to Climate Biz.

What Are The Advantages of Solar Panels Brisbane ?

Each year there are thousands of solar installations in Brisbane, owing to the high return on investment and solar rebate subsidies that solar panels provide.

If you’re still not convinced these are the top 5 benefits solar benefits for your home.

1 – Eliminate Up To 80% Of Your Bill

The most prevalent and obvious incentive for consumers to go solar is to save money. However, depending on how many panels they can install on their roof, the pitch of the roof, which direction the panels face and how many solar hours are available in their location, most homeowners can save up to 80% and sometimes even close to 100% on their electricity costs. 

2 – Pays Itself off in 3-5 years 

Have you ever witnessed a return on investment of more than 20% let alone up to 33%? we’ve done it, and so have a lot of other Brisbane solar household. If you’ve seen a solid return on investment in the stock market or at a bank, you’ve probably never seen anything like solar. 
 

Most homeowners can finance a solar system and end up paying less than their electricity bill per quarter if they don’t want to pay for it outright. This how their solar system pays for itself! without any out-of-pocket costs. 

3 – Increases the value of your property 

Many properties come with solar panels already installed, which increases the home’s perceived and true worth. Installing a solar system enhances the likelihood of your property selling sooner and for a greater price, whether you’re planning to relocate or sell. 
 

4 – Reduces pollution 

Solar energy is far cleaner than coal, wind, or even hydropower. The carbon costs of manufacturing and distributing solar panels are the lowest of all renewables, making them the most environmentally beneficial alternative available. A 6.6kw solar system in Brisbane will save roughly 10 tonnes of CO2 per year. 

Solar is not only a terrific way to reduce carbon emissions, but it is also one of the most cost-effective ways to generate power, earning the title of “The Cheapest Electricity In History” by the Carbon Brief.

5 – Protects you against rising electricity prices and blackouts

According to the Parliament Of Australia, the average residential electricity bill grew by 73 percent over a 10 period.
Solar panel systems safeguard those who have them installed from these price surges in electricity.
 

How? Solar panels, of course, provide you the freedom to generate your own power during the day and reduce your reliance on large energy retailers. You can even be self-sufficient and off the grid if you have a battery, entirely removing your vulnerability to blackouts.

Rather than buying power during peak demand and paying what energy retailers want, you can choose when to use it and buy electricity at lower prices.

What are the best solar panels brisbane

It’s crucial to think about the quality you’re prepared to spend while shopping for the best solar panels. Solar panels, like other things, come in three levels of quality: high, medium, and low.

Every homeowner’s biggest dread is being trapped with a cheap system that doesn’t last. When choosing a solar system, keep in mind that you want it to last at least 20 years, and you want the solar installers to be available to solve any potential issues and handle warranty claims. 

The 3 tiers of solar 

A tier system is used to rank each solar panel manufacturer. Tier 1 indicates that the firm has been assessed by an industry solar PV analyst and has received the highest mark in terms of production capability. The score is determined by a number of elements, including financial health, factory automation, experience, and technical performance, among others. Your tier rating drops when you score lower in these categories.

 

A tier 1 manufacturer does not necessarily create the greatest solar panels, but it is a solid indication that they are of exceptional quality. When conducting your investigation, be certain that the firm producing the solar panels has a presence in Australia. This means that they have 1-2 offices and a customer care centre where you may easily reach them.

 

what is the Average Cost Of a Solar System Brisbane

There are numerous elements to consider when determining how much to pay for a solar system. Knowing what size system will best suit your home in order to maximise the benefits of solar is very important. Because solar is not a one-size-fits-all solution, it may be advisable to go a bit larger if feasible in order to save the most money in the long run.

The typical 6kw solar system in Brisbane will cost roughly $5240 in 2022 when completely installed with the government subsidy and by a renowned quality solar provider.

How to Choose solar installers Brisbane

Finding the appropriate solar provider may be challenging, and with so many alternatives available, it’s easy to become paralysed and do nothing. This is the worst mistake you can make since the longer you delay to install solar, the more money you will waste.

There are three things to think about while looking for a good solar installer in Brisbane.

1 – Experience & Installer Quality

How long has the solar installer been in the industry and how much experience do they have? most quality solar installers should have a master electricians license and 10+ years of industry experience.

Some solar companies use subcontractors to complete their solar installations, which can result in improperly installed solar systems, longer install times, and a longer waiting period for the installation date due to a lack of communication. While not all subcontractors are poor, their motivation is to be paid by the hour rather than the job. Furthermore, most subcontractors are not held accountable by the business that engages them, which can lead to laziness in clean-ups and overall project quality.

It is preferable to work with a solar provider that has an in-house installation crew or holds their subcontractors accountable for each job. Subcontractors that are paid per project and are not paid until the job is reviewed to verify quality standards are followed are an example of this.

2 – Accreditations

When it comes to selecting the best solar provider, qualifications are crucial. A good installer will hold the Clean Energy Council Installer certification, the Clean Energy Council Designer Accreditation, the Approved Solar Retailer Badge, and the Master Electricians Badge.

3 – Reviews 

When looking to buy a product or service, most people will check to the reviews area on Google or Facebook. It is no different with a solar installer; unbiased evaluations on Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot provide a decent idea of the solar company’s quality and service.
 
If a company’s Google reviews have been blocked, it’s a good indicator to avoid them since once a negative review is posted on Google, it can’t be erased.

Residential and Commercial Solar

Commercial enterprises may considerably benefit from solar energy since most businesses operate throughout the day. Your solar system will supply clean, green, sustainable energy during the most cost-effective period when the sun is shining.

As part of its effort to cut carbon emissions and create a cleaner workplace, the Australian government is significantly incentivizing business solar installations. Brisbane companies have gone solar not merely to save money on power, but also to serve their clients carbon neutrally as an extra advantage of doing business with them.

If you need commercial installations, Solar Union has extensive experience delivering on large commercial and small company projects. Whatever your needs are, we have the ability and knowledge to provide a solution.

I am about to instal my second system through Sue and Solar Smart, now Solar Union, but it will be a third experience with them. My son first researched and installed a 6.6kw system and then recommended to me for my build in 2019. We were both really happy with our systems and especially the service. I am now building again and I did not hesitate to contact Sue to discuss another installation, I have not even bothered to get any other quotes as I know Sue will put forward the best system for my requirements.I couldn’t recommend a better company and service. Highly recommended, wish I could give more stars.

Solar quote and acceptance was completed with Sue Wulff(Sales Representative). Sue was friendly, very knowledgeable, courteous and very prompt on telephone advice, followups and emails. Rhys (Electrician Installer) and the team were very prompt in installing the system. Friendly, cleaned up after themselves. All staff I dealt with are a credit to Solar Union Queensland. Would definitely recommend Solar Union Queensland to family and friends.

Chris & the Team recently provided & installed a system to our new home. I cannot more highly recommend Solar Union & Chris for his industry knowledge, accessibility to contact & overall professionalism, through out our purchase. Coupled with that, their installers exceeded my expectations, for their tidiness & overall presentation of our finished product. Can honestly say there is no aspect of this experience, whereby I can provide any negative feedback.
