MAKING SOLAR EASY
Converting to solar power is easy
Assessment
The process starts with a personalised assessment of your home or business. A solar energy expert will evaluate factors such as your energy consumption patterns, roof orientation, available space, and any shading issues.
Design & Permitting
Based on the assessment, a solar system design is created that maximises energy production for the specific property. Before installation can begin, necessary permits from local authorities or energy providers are obtained.
Installation
Professional installers mount the solar panels on the roof or ground, install the inverter, and set up the monitoring system. The process typically takes a day or two, depending on the system’s size.
Connection
Once installed, the system is connected to the home’s electrical grid and, if applicable, to the broader electricity grid.
Monitoring and Maintenance
After installation, homeowners can monitor their system’s performance and ensure it’s working efficiently. Regular maintenance checks, though infrequent, help in ensuring the system’s longevity.

Frequently asked Questions
How does solar work?
Solar Panels Capture Sunlight
Solar panels, made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, are installed on rooftops or open areas in homes. These panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
Conversion to Usable Electricity
The DC electricity is then passed through an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity. AC is the standard form of electricity used in homes to power lights, appliances, and other devices.
Distribution
Once converted, the electricity is distributed throughout the home, just like electricity from the grid.
Excess Energy Storage or Feed-in
If the solar system produces more electricity than the home needs, the excess can be stored in batteries for later use or fed back into the grid, earning the homeowner credits or even income, depending on local regulations and feed-in tariff schemes.
What is the installation process for solar?
Before installation, professionals assess the home’s suitability for solar. This includes checking the roof’s orientation, angle, and structural integrity.

Wha are the Government rebates currently available?
Federal and State Solar Incentives
Governments around the world are waking up to the immense potential of solar energy. In New South Wales, there’s a concerted effort to make solar energy accessible and affordable for everyone. Through a range of incentives and rebates, the NSW government is ensuring that the transition to solar is not just environmentally responsible but also financially rewarding.
The NSW government recognises the importance of solar energy and offers various incentives:
NSW Solar Rebate
Households in NSW can benefit from rebates and schemes that make installing solar more affordable.
Rebate Swap for Solar and Energy Efficient Upgrades: Up to 30,000 NSW households can benefit from the energy bill buster package, which aims to reduce their energy bills.
Eligible homeowner-occupiers can swap their Low Income Household Rebate for a free, fully installed, 3-kilowatt solar
system. This initiative provides access to affordable clean energy, significantly reducing household electricity bills for years to come. To be eligible:
- You must currently receive the Low Income Household Rebate.
- Agree not to receive the rebate for 10 years.
- Hold a valid Pensioner Concession Card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card.
- Own and live in your house.
- Not already have a solar PV system.
Solar for Low Income Households
The NSW Government offers a solar for low income households program, providing eligible households with a free solar system.
What equipment is installed?
Solar Panels (Photovoltaic Panels)
These are the primary components that capture sunlight and initiate the energy conversion process. Inverter This device converts the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into AC electricity suitable for home use. Mounting Equipment These are the structures on which solar panels are mounted. They ensure the panels are securely attached to rooftops or ground mounts.
Solar Batteries (Optional)
For homes that want to store excess energy, solar batteries can be installed. They store surplus electricity for use during nighttime or cloudy days.
Monitoring System
Many modern solar installations come with monitoring systems that allow homeowners to track their energy production and consumption in real-time.
What are the environmental benefits of solar?
Our planet is at a pivotal point. The environmental challenges we face today, from rising temperatures to polluted air, demand immediate action. Solar energy stands out as an eco-friendly solution that not only powers our homes and businesses but also protects our environment. Embracing solar is not just a step towards sustainable energy; it’s a stride towards a cleaner, greener planet.
Solar energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy and will help:
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint. Unlike other energy sources, solar panels do not release harmful carbon dioxide or pollutants. This means a significant reduction in harmful emissions.
Combat Climate Change. By transitioning to solar energy, we can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming, making a significant impact in the fight against climate change.
What are feed-in tariffs?
Feed-in Tariffs: Turn Your Excess Solar Energy into Savings
Harnessing the power of the sun through solar panels not only reduces your electricity bills but can also become a source of income. Here’s how:
When your solar panels produce more electricity than your household consumes, this excess energy doesn’t go to waste. Instead, it’s fed back into the electricity grid, and you get compensated for it. This compensation is known as a ‘feed-in tariff’.
Benefits of Feed-in Tariffs
Financial Rewards: With feed-in tariffs, you’re essentially turning your solar installation into a mini power station. Every kilowatt-hour of excess energy you export to the grid translates to credits on your electricity bill. Over time, these credits can add up, offsetting your energy costs or even resulting in a net positive bill where the energy company owes you.
Supporting the Grid: By feeding your surplus solar energy back into the grid, you’re supporting the broader community. This distributed energy can help reduce the load on power stations during peak times, leading to a more resilient and efficient energy system.
Encouraging Renewable Energy
Feed-in tariffs serve as an incentive for more households to adopt solar energy. The more households feed solar energy back into the grid, the less reliant the community becomes on fossil fuels, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
Flexibility and Control
Many solar systems come with advanced monitoring capabilities. You can track how much energy you’re producing, consuming, and exporting back to the grid. This data empowers you to make informed decisions, such as the best times to use energy-intensive appliances to maximise your feed-in tariff earnings.
Feed-in tariffs offer a win-win situation. Households benefit financially from their excess solar energy, while the community enjoys a more sustainable and reliable energy supply. If you’re considering solar, it’s essential to check the feed-in tariff rates offered by different energy providers to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
