Solar Power FAQs

We answer some of the most frequently (and not so frequently) asked solar panel questions.

How do I Choose The Right Solar System For My Adelaide Property?

Choosing the right solar system for your Adelaide property requires considering several factors. Here are some steps you can follow to choose the best solar system for your home or business:
Determine your energy needs: Your energy needs will determine the size of the solar system you need. Consider your daily energy usage, peak hours of electricity usage, and the appliances you want to run on solar energy.

Determine the available roof space: The amount of roof space available will determine the number of solar panels you can install. The more panels you can install, the more energy you can generate.

Evaluate the orientation and shading of your roof: Your roof should face north to get maximum exposure to the sun. Shading from trees, buildings or other structures can reduce the efficiency of your solar panels.

Consider the type of solar panels: Different types of solar panels have varying efficiencies, costs and warranty periods. Research the different options and choose the one that is best for you.

Choose the right inverter: The inverter is a critical component of your solar system and is responsible for converting the energy generated by your panels into usable electricity for your home or business. Choose an inverter that is compatible with your panels and meets your energy needs.

Research local incentives: There may be government incentives or rebates available in Adelaide for installing a solar system. Research and take advantage of these incentives.

Get quotes from multiple installers: Contact several solar installers in Adelaide to get quotes for your solar system. Compare the costs and services of each to choose the one that offers the best value for your money.

Consider battery storage: Consider adding a battery storage system to your solar system to store excess energy generated during the day for use at night. This will allow you to use more of the energy generated by your panels and reduce your reliance on the grid.

By considering these factors, you can choose the right solar system for your Adelaide property that meets your energy needs and budget.

How Much Does A Solar System in Adelaide Cost?

The cost of solar panels in Adelaide varies based on several factors such as the size of the system, the type and quality of the panels, the complexity of the installation, and other factors.

On average, a 5 kW solar system in Adelaide can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000, while a 20 kW system can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000.

It's also important to consider other costs, such as the cost of a battery system, inverter, and other components, as well as any available incentives or rebates that may help offset the cost.

How Long Does It Take To Pay BAck A Solar System?

The payback period for a solar system refers to the amount of time it takes for the savings from your solar panel installation to pay back the initial investment you made. The payback period varies depending on a number of factors, including the size of the system, the cost of the system, the cost of electricity from your local utility, and the amount of energy your system generates.

On average, the payback period for a residential solar system in Adelaide or the Gold Coast is between 5 to 10 years. However, some households may see a payback period as short as 3 years, while others may take as long as 15 years, depending on their energy usage and other factors.

It's important to note that while the payback period is an important consideration, it's not the only factor to consider when deciding whether to go solar. Solar panels will continue to generate electricity and save you money for many years after the payback period is reached, so you'll benefit from your investment for decades to come.

Can I Install A Battery Back-up System?

Installing a home battery back-up system is a great way to ensure that your home is always powered, even in the event of a power outage. There are a few things to consider before installing a home battery back-up system, such as the type of system you need and the storage capacity of the battery you need. The first thing you need to consider when installing a home battery back-up system is the type of system you need.

There are two main types of systems: off-grid and grid-tied. Off-grid systems are not connected to the power grid, so they are ideal for homes that are not connected to the power grid or for homes that are located in remote areas. Grid-tied systems are connected to the power grid, so they are ideal for homes that are connected to the power grid.

What Happens If The Power Grid Shut Is down?

If the power grid went down, and you have solar, you would still have power as long as the sun was shining. However, you would only have enough power for your home – you couldn’t sell it back to the grid or power the entire neighbourhood. If you have a battery backup system, you can store power for when the sun wasn’t shining.

Is There Much Involved With Cleaning And Maintenance Of A Solar System?

Solar panels are designed to withstand the elements, but they still need to be cleaned occasionally to ensure optimal performance. Dust, pollen and bird droppings can all build up on the panels and block sunlight from reaching the cells. Most solar panels come with a self-cleaning feature, but you may still need to hose them down occasionally.

As for maintenance, solar panels don't require much. You'll need to check the inverter and batteries periodically to make sure they're working properly, and you may need to tighten the mounting bolts from time to time. Other than that, there's not much to do.

What’s The Best Size Solar System For Me?

The first step is to determine your energy needs. This will help you determine the size of the solar system you need. To do this, you’ll need to calculate your average daily energy consumption. This can be done by looking at your past energy bills.

The next thing to consider is the amount of space you have for your solar system. This will determine the number of solar panels you’ll need.

Of course, your budget is also a factor to consider. Solar systems can range in price, so you’ll need to find one that fits your budget.

How Long Should A Rooftop Solar System Last?

A well-maintained rooftop solar system in Adelaide should last for around 25-30 years. The lifespan of a solar panel system is largely dependent on the quality of the components used, proper installation, and regular maintenance. High-quality solar panels typically have a warranty of 25-30 years, which provides assurance for the expected lifespan of the system.

The other components of a solar system, such as the inverter and mounting hardware, may have shorter warranty periods of 5-10 years, but can often be replaced if necessary. To ensure a long lifespan for your rooftop solar system, it's important to have it installed by a qualified and experienced solar installer, and to perform regular maintenance, such as cleaning the panels and checking the electrical connections.

What Does Aspect And Inclination Mean For Solar?

Aspect is the angle at which a solar panel is installed in relation to the sun. The angle is measured from horizontal, with 0 degrees being horizontal and 90 degrees being vertical. The angle of the panel affects how much sunlight it receives. A panel that is installed at a steeper angle will receive more direct sunlight and will be more efficient.

Inclination is the angle of the sun in relation to the horizon. The angle is measured from the horizon, with 0 degrees being the horizon and 90 degrees being directly overhead. The angle of the sun affects how much direct sunlight a panel receives. A panel that is installed at a higher inclination will receive more direct sunlight and will be more efficient.

Can You Install Solar On All Roof Types?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on most roof types in Adelaide, including tile, metal, and flat roofs. However, it is important to consider the orientation and tilt of the roof, as well as any shading that might impact the performance of the solar panels.

Factors such as the type of roof, its age and condition, and the location of your property will all impact the type and size of system that is right for you.

What Does Aspect And Inclination Mean For Solar?

Aspect is the angle at which a solar panel is installed in relation to the sun. The angle is measured from horizontal, with 0 degrees being horizontal and 90 degrees being vertical. The angle of the panel affects how much sunlight it receives. A panel that is installed at a steeper angle will receive more direct sunlight and will be more efficient.

Inclination is the angle of the sun in relation to the horizon. The angle is measured from the horizon, with 0 degrees being the horizon and 90 degrees being directly overhead. The angle of the sun affects how much direct sunlight a panel receives. A panel that is installed at a higher inclination will receive more direct sunlight and will be more efficient.

What are The Effect Of Shading On Solar Systems?

Shading is one of the most important factors to consider when installing a solar system. It can have a significant effect on the amount
of energy that your system produces.

Shading can come from trees, buildings, or other objects that block the sun from reaching your solar panels. Even a small amount of shading can reduce the amount of electricity your panels produce.

The amount of shading also affects how much energy is lost due to heat. Solar panels work best when they are cool. When they are shaded, they can stay cooler, which helps them to work more efficiently.

What Solar Panel And Inverter Brands Do You Use?

Solar panels are a key component in any solar power system. They are responsible for converting sunlight into electrical energy that can be used to power your home or business. There are a lot of different solar panel brands out there, but we recommend and install Fronius Inverters and Goodwe Inverters along with Trina Solar Panels.

Are There Different Types Of Solar Panels?

The most common type of solar panel is the photovoltaic (PV) panel. PV panels are made of silicon, and they work by converting sunlight into electricity. PV panels are the most common type of solar panel, and they’re used in everything from small solar-powered calculators to large solar farms.

How Do Solar Modules (Panels) Work?

Solar modules (also called solar panels) are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are made up of individual solar cells that are connected together. Solar cells are made of semiconductor materials, such as silicon, that absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity.
Solar modules are used in a variety of applications, including powering homes and businesses, providing backup power, and powering electric vehicles. Solar modules are also used in large-scale solar power plants, also called solar farms.
