Frequently Asked Questions
Can I increase the size of my system in the future?
Yes, you can increase the size of your solar system in the future, provided your existing inverter and roof space can accommodate the additional panels. If your current inverter is not sufficient, you may need to upgrade to a larger one or install an additional inverter. It's recommended to consult with your solar provider to assess your system’s compatibility and ensure compliance with local regulations.Increasing the system size will effect FEED-IN-TARIFF.
Yes, you can expand your solar system if there’s enough space, but limitations exist. Many Network Providers cap systems at 5kW per phase, so a single-phase home with a 5kW system may not accommodate more. Older systems may face compatibility issues with newer panels, and the inverter may need replacing. Expansion is simpler with micro-inverter systems like Enphase, provided there’s enough roof space.
What’s the difference between a standard inverter and a hybrid inverter?
A standard inverter converts the solar power into usable electricity for your home, while a hybrid inverter can manage both solar energy and battery storage. This gives you the option to add a battery later without needing to replace the inverter.
How do I know if my solar system is eligible for government rebates or incentives?
In Victoria, you may be eligible for state and federal incentives such as the Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). We’ll guide you through the application process to help you get the most out of available rebates.
Are solar panels suitable for my flat roof?
Yes, solar panels can be installed on flat roofs using specialized mounting systems that tilt the panels to an optimal angle for maximum sunlight exposure. We’ll assess the roof and design the best solution.
How can I be sure the system is sized correctly for my energy needs?
We perform a detailed energy audit based on your consumption patterns and roof space. This ensures your system is perfectly sized to meet your needs while optimizing savings. We also take future energy requirements into account.
Will solar panels damage my roof?
No, when installed correctly by certified professionals, solar panels are safe for your roof. We use mounting systems that are specifically designed to be gentle on the roof while ensuring security and durability.
Can solar help me become completely independent from the grid?
While possible, going completely off-grid requires significant investment in batteries and system size. Most customers prefer grid-connected systems with backup batteries for the best balance of reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Are there any warranties for the installation work, not just the panels and inverter?
Yes, we offer warranties for both the installation and equipment. This ensures peace of mind for workmanship-related issues, in addition to product warranties.
We provide workmanship warranty for 10 years and a comprehensive product warranty for 25 years.
