Solar is an accessible renewable energy source.

There are many benefits of solar power which makes it an accessible and attractive alternative to traditional energy sources. Using sunlight, solar PV can generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases. Solar power systems can lower electricity bills for homeowners and businesses, and excess power can often be sold back to the grid.

A 3kW or 5kW solar system (depending on your available roof space and the electrical infrastructure within your area) is installed in your home. Based on independent energy modelling and Energex restrictions, 3kW this is an optimal sized system for homes at your site.

The installation of additional solar is not permitted and no feed-in tariffs are available within an embedded network.

The location of your home, and the amount of sun you receive daily, will dictate the total solar generation that you can expect from your system.

The Clean Energy Council states that this will be between three to four hours per day on average.

From time to time, your solar panels may need to be checked.

The Clean Energy Council suggests that solar panels are self-cleaning, however, if you do find there is damage to one of your panels, or they are not working correctly, you will need to contact your on site manager to rectify.
