1> Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know what size Solar Power system to install?
Solar system providers will advise you on the size that suits your requirements; this usually depends on the amount of energy needed and other details such as dimensions of the property.

2. What is the typical cost of a PV Solar Power System?
PV systems can cost anywhere between $8,000 and $27,000, depending on the size of system chosen, which is mainly based on the energy consumption required.

3. How long will PV Solar Power systems last for?
Life expectancy of these systems is normally 40 years plus, depending on the type of quality system purchased.

4. Can I expand my current PV Solar System?
Yes, it is usually possible to attach additional solar panels to your system; extra inverters may also have to be added to cope with the load enhancement.

5. Is it necessary for my property to face south?
No, south is definitely ideal, but southeast or southwest can function will minimal loss of production.

6. How do I sell electricity back to the utility providers?
The PV solar system does this for you. The inverter identifies any unused electricity and sends this excess energy to the grid. The electric meter moves backwards, thus crediting the owner\'s electric bill.

7. Are Battery Backups necessary?
No. PV solar power systems connect straight to your local utility grid.

8. Can the roof of my property sustain the weight of the Solar Power system?
Yes. Most of this equipment does not weigh an awful lot and most modern buildings are designed to deal with far greater loads. Though, older buildings need to be surveyed and may require structural work for extra support.

9. What kind of permits do I need?
You will have to check your local area code requirements.

10. How long will a PV Solar system take to install?
This, again, depends on the size of your chosen system, as well as the type of company chosen to carry out the installation. Average residential systems may take less than one week whilst larger commercial installations will take slightly longer.

11. Are PV Solar systems suitable for business use?
If anything, solar systems are incredibly ideal for businesses. This is because businesses usually consume large amounts of energy, and it is important to keep costs efficient in order to run a successful business. Depending on your local area, commercial users are usually offered great financial program incentives.

12. Do financial incentives apply to everyone?
Mostly, yes. However, the type of program incentives available depends on your location and whether you are a residential or commercial user.

13. Is electricity generated by Solar Power systems reliable?
Solar electric systems have been used by space stations since 1954 and technology has advanced incredibly since then making it an extremely reliable source of energy. Also, PV solar modules usually come with a 25 year warranty.

Solar panels systems converts sunlight into DC (direct current) electricity. DC electricity is then passed onto an electronic power inverter which changes it from DC into AC (alternating current). The AC electricity is then distributed to the building’s power system which supplies the electricity. Excess power is diverted to the power grid which causes the electric meter to turn backwards and therefore credits the electric utility bill. When the sun is absent the utility power is used to generate electricity.

1. Solar Modules Solar modules mounted on the roof or grounds of your property convert sunlight into DC power.
2. Inverter This power is sent to a device called an inverter (or power converter) which converts the DC power from the solar modules to AC power identical to that being sent to you from the utility grid.
3. Electrical Panel Power travels from the inverter to your electrical service panel (your breaker box). The power from the electrical panel will be distributed to any electrical loads in your home.
4. Utilit
