Frequently Asked Questions about Solar
Besides reducing your carbon footprint, a solar system can generate huge savings on your electricity bill. By generating your own electricity from the solar panels you reduce the electricity you need to buy from the grid and any excess "Green" electricity your system produces is sold back to the power provider. Not only will you be able to greatly reduce your electricity bill you will increase both the energy rating and value of your house.
Yes, by reducing Australia's dependency on electricity generated from coal, we not only reduce CO2 emissions, we also reduce the demand on water that power companies require to generate this electricity. Currently 130 billion litres of drinking water is used just to generate coal-based electricity. Furthermore, if more Australians installed solar panel systems it will reduce the stress on our electricity grid. You are helping the environment as well as your budget.
The actual installation process should only take 1 day but form sign up to install usually takes 2-3 weeks. Once your system is installed your meter may need to be reconfigured before you can be paid for your exported solar power. If you do need a new meter there can be a delay of a few weeks between the installation of the system and the changing of the meter. The changing of the meter itself takes approximately 1 hour.
