Solar energy has become a pivotal part of Australia’s push towards renewable energy. Home solar power systems offer a sustainable and cost-effective way for Australians to reduce electricity bills and carbon footprint.
How Do Home Solar Power Systems Work?
Home solar power systems convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels.
- Solar Panels: Made up of many solar cells, these panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
- Inverter: Converts DC into alternating current (AC), which can be used in your home.
- Metering System: Measures electricity usage and can feed excess power back to the grid.
Benefits of Installing Solar in Australia
- Significant Savings: A 6.6kW solar system in Sydney can generate approximately 9,000kWh/year, saving between $1,200 and $1,800 depending on the feed-in tariff (FiT).
- Government Incentives: Take advantage of Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and state-specific rebates in NSW and Victoria.
- Environmental Impact: Reduce your carbon footprint by using clean, renewable energy.
