How Do Solar Panels Work?

HOW

Solar power operates with panels that capture sunlight directly and then convert this energy into DC electricity. DC electricity cannot be used directly until it is changed into AC electricity. This process is achieved through an inverter. 

The inverters are available in different types. Micro-inverters, for example, are attached to the solar panels (on the underside). 

The AC electricity produced through this process is then used to directly power your home. If you add a battery system to the setup, any excess electricity that is generated throughout the day is then stored in the battery. This energy can then be used once it gets dark or during bad weather. Once the battery fills up, any excess electricity can then be sent to the grid where you can benefit from what is known as a “feed-in tariff payment”, from your power provider.

Solar Panels

It makes sense that if you want the solar installation to be a success it is going to depend on the solar panel quality. Today there are various types of solar panels on the market. Solar panels of the highest quality are backed by a 20-year + performance guarantee. 

This is why it is very important to avoid choosing solar panels or solar panel systems on just the price. We highly recommend choosing a brand that is well-known so that they will still be in business to honour warranties when and if the need arises. 

Solar Inverters

Solar inverters are devices that change the DC electricity that a solar panel produces into AC electricity, which is then used to provide power to your office or home. This electricity can also be directly fed into the grid. The inverters are available through several reliable brands. 

All the reputable and major brands provide comprehensive warranty support across Australia. You should also avoid purchasing an inverter just because it is cheap. These cheap models are more prone to fail within a few short years. 

Victorian Solar Powered Rebates

The government has also been working on making it easier for homeowners to install these solar-powered solutions by providing rebates. You could qualify for a $1,400 rebate for your solar system (with a capacity of 4 kW). You could also take advantage of feed-in tariffs from any excess electricity that your energy system generates which is then fed into the grid. These tariffs are set every year.  

Interest-Free Solar Loans

LOAN

All homes in Victoria can qualify for solar interest-free loans. You can then repay this loan in payments made monthly over 4 years or can be paid back as one single lump sum. It is important to know that you won’t be charged any fees, charges, or interest on your loan. These loan packages are made available for battery systems, solar systems, and combined battery and solar systems.
