Making the switch to solar power can result in many attractive benefits. Not only will solar energy help lessen your carbon footprint, but you'll also save money and increase your property value.

Financial Benefits of Solar

Reduce or eliminate your electricity costs

reduced-power-bill-2-smlDepending on your energy usage, the size of your solar system and the available incentives (such as feed in tariffs) in your area, you may be able to reduce or eliminate your power bill. Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity and then an inverter then converts DC electricity into the 240V electricity that powers your home or business. Your home or business remains connected to the main electricity grid, and any surplus electricity your system generates is exported back to the grid.

When excess power is fed back into the main electricity grid, your electricity provider purchases this energy back from you. Some electricity retailers pay equal amounts (or more) for the electricity your system generates and the amount they charge you for regular electricity- So, if you generate more electricity than you use, your power bills will turn into credits for the excess power you feed back into the grid.

25 year guaranteed investment

Our fully licensed, insured and BCSE (Business Council of Sustainable Energy) accredited installers will show you how to ensure optimal operation of the system at all times. Solar panels require very little maintenance apart from keeping them clean and they are guaranteed for up to 25 years. Additionally, as the cost of traditional power continues to rise, your solar system has locked in your cost of electricity and becomes a valuable asset and a significant factor in assessing your property value.

Government support

Significant government incentives around Australia have made solar electricity a popular choice for many Australian homeowners. Take advantage of these rebates to be part of the clean, green revolution and power your home from the sun for free.

Environmental Benefits of Solar

Reduce greenhouse emissions

Over 90% of Australia's electricity is sourced by fossil fuels. Australia is the worst polluter per capita on Earth, but there's something you can do about it. By installing a solar system you will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help in the fight against global warming, providing a safer, cleaner world for future generations. Solar Shop Australia will help you power your home with sustainable energy free from the sun.

Green and reliable power

Grid connect solar systems are green and reliable even during winter. Solar cells work on light, not heat, so your system will generate power throughout the year. You can also add battery backup, so your home or business will not lose power during a blackout.
