Installing a solar system in a home allows homeowners to save money on electric bills and lessen their environmental impact. For new home builders, you have a unique opportunity to install your system while the home is being built, saving yourself the hassle of trying to fit a system into an existing home.
While solar panels are becoming a more common method of producing energy for Australian homes, solar batteries are still a relatively new technology in renewable energy. Even so, more and more people are adding solar batteries to their solar systems for the incredible benefits that they provide.
Winter is in full swing across Australia, which typically brings a flurry of questions about a solar systems efficiency during these colder months. While it’s no secret that solar systems are most efficient when the sun is highest in the sky and the daylight hours are long, that doesn’t mean that they don’t perform well in winter.
Electricity is essential for our every-day lives for lighting rooms, providing home Wi-Fi and powering domestic appliances like ovens and stove-tops. With so many people throughout 2020 having to work from home, a stable power supply is crucial for not only modern life but also to maintain work commitments.
Over the past decade, the solar industry has boomed. In 2018, the number of Australian households with solar PV installations reached 2 million. That’s an average of six solar panels installed per minute!
The solar industry is growing rapidly, yet there are many solar companies who have left. ABC News reports that almost 700 solar companies have gone out of business since 2011, leaving about 650,000 Australians without warranties if their systems fault. These systems are referred to as ‘orphaned’ systems, because there is no longer a company available to take responsibility.
So, how’s it possible that so many solar companies have shut down in an industry that’s booming?
