WHAT ARE THE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES FOR GOING SOLAR?
Going solar provides customers with two advantages. The first is the Federal Government’s Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), which is a subsidy. Solar power systems can generate a Small-Scale Technology Certificate (STC), which can be sold to offset the user’s system cost.
The second is the Feed-In Tariff (FIT), which offers ongoing financial incentives rather than a one-time price reduction.
These tariffs may differ between Energy Retailers, so it’s best to ask our Business Development Executive for a (free) good recommendation on various market retailers.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF AN INVERTER?
An inverter converts the DC power from the solar panel to AC power, which is the same as mains power. It also feeds any excess power back into the power grid. The efficiency with which an inverter converts DC electricity to AC electricity is one measure of its quality.
WHAT IS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN KW AND KWH?
kW is an abbreviation for kilowatt. This is a power measurement. A kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts. Kilowatt hour is abbreviated as kWh. This is an energy measurement.
DOES A BIGGER INVERTER GENERATE MORE ELECTRICITY?
No, how much your solar PV system will produce is determined by the number of panels and the wattage of panels installed at your home. The inverter’s function is to convert the DC power from your panels into usable AC power for your home.
WILL MY SYSTEM STILL WORK IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE?
If you have a “grid connected system,” your solar will only work as long as the network is operational. When a blackout occurs, your solar PV system will automatically stop producing electricity for safety reasons. This is because there is a mandatory safety requirement in place to protect technicians working in your immediate vicinity. When the grid is restored, your system’s ability to generate will be restored. However, we recommend that you double-check that your system has been restarted.
If you have a hybrid system with a battery, you will need to connect backup functionality and charge your battery in order to have power when the network is down.
