While technology advances rapidly, this has both downsides as well as upsides. Energy efficiency and suitability for different property types is increasing, yet people’s engagement with solar perhaps isn’t so much.

Many residents, business owners or managers still aren’t sure whether they should invest in this technology.

Some of this is possibly because solar power seems too good to be true. As installers of solar panels Cairns people trust, we understand, and give the best advice.

Modern Options

When asked about solar power, many people think it means sticking panels on your roof.

They perhaps see this on other properties, don’t like the look of it, and can’t see it working for them.

Obviously, looks are important, and property owners maybe think solar panels will devalue theirs.

There are many reasons why this is often outdated and untrue.

Of course, having solar panels installed means an alteration to your property.

That doesn’t mean you’re stuck with any particular configuration forever.

In fact, solar panels are meant to be replaced over time.

Also, those installed in the past possibly don’t look as good as the latest designs. Apart from looking better, modern panels are also often more efficient.

Solar panels don’t have to go on your roof, either. In fact, for some premises it makes more sense to have them elsewhere.

Obviously, no two homes or businesses are exactly the same, and neither are their energy needs.

Judging the potential of your own solar power system by those of others is not helpful.

There are options available today which far outstrip those of previous eras.

Tailored Solar Systems

As suppliers of solar panels Cairns homes and businesses come to, we advise based on individual circumstances.

Residential, commercial and industrial users can all benefit from solar power in different ways.

Not just the scale of the installation, but its use, also plays a big part in any solar power set-up.

Commercial operators can depreciate their solar power installation against tax, for example.

As the initial cost of equipment and labour is often as issue for businesses, this can give peace of mind.

Many domestic customers also choose the Solar As A Service (SAAS) option, which has no installation costs.

These contracts run on 7, 10 and 15 year time-scales, with lower energy bills during that period.

Then there is the choice between on-grid or off-grid, and storage options.

It is possible to sell the energy you generate to the grid, or store it for later use.

The cost of these systems initially is higher than immediate use options.

This flexibility means that most homes and businesses can find a solar solution that works for them.

The post Advice About Solar Panels appeared first on .

Solar panels have been pretty much the sole subject of the push toward alternative energy. The main focus—reducing household energy costs—is a given, once the panels are installed.

There are other benefits, of course, not the least of which is our precarious dependence on fossil fuels.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, doubters can be heard crying, “What about cloudy days?“ They’re less noisy, however, when the grid goes down.

But the biggest noise was when billionaire boffin Elon Musk proposed to solve South Australia’s flaky electrical supply with a big battery. He came through with a 100-megawatt lithium ion battery, which was quickly installed and is now contributing power to the state’s electricity network. The revenue it created in its first 6 months was equal to 15% of the cost to buy it.

Many of us are now seeing the benefits of going off-grid. Batteries are now readily available to store the energy collected from your solar panels.

You can choose to have nothing to do with the grid. Or, if you so decide, your excess power can be fed into the grid.

Here at East Coast Energy Solutions, we have the know-how to take your solar power plans to the next level.

What Difference Will Batteries Make?

We can quickly get you set up to take full advantage of your solar power system’s efficiency.

You’ll be able to harvest the energy you don’t use, storing it in your new batteries ready for use whenever you need it.

Here’s how you’ll benefit. Your energy bills will drop even further. And when your neighbours are blacked out during a power failure, your energy supply will continue uninterrupted. Providing your internet provider hasn’t been blacked out, your Netflix binge can go on without quitting.

All that good work done by your solar panels on long, hot sunny days… now you’ll be able to keep hold of it!

What About My Power Bill?

Storing your solar power in dedicated batteries is the obvious next step in taking matters into your own hands and away from the power company.

You can choose to be on- or off-grid.

Batteries will save you money on your power bills and, obviously, if you are off-grid, you’re not going to get another power bill ever.

In practical terms, you will have back-up power you can use when less sunny weather is around.

Adding to the feel-good benefits is knowing your power supply is greener and more sustainable.

What It Entails

Your system is made up with what is known as photovoltaic solar panels, or PV modules for short.

These are designed to soak up the sunlight and use it as electricity.

We will use and array of PV modules that are connected to an inverter which will convert the energy into electricity.

This will then feed a battery pack which is used to store your electricity ready for use.

It is also possible to connect the electricity you make from your solar panels straight to the main grid.

This means that any excess electricity will be made available for others to use and you will receive subsidies on your electricity bills.

It will also significantly reduce your carbon footprint, which is the effect you have on the environment.

Renewable energy just like solar, looks after our planet as well as your pocket, reducing the need we have for fossil fuel and nuclear energy.
