• Facts, Answers and Questions About Solar Panels in Western Australia

FAQ

  • What is solar energy and how does it work?

    Solar energy is derived from the sun's radiation and can be converted into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels. These panels absorb sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity by an inverter. This AC electricity can power your home or business directly, or it can be fed back into the grid.

  • What are the benefits of installing a solar panel system?

    Installing a solar panel system can lead to significant cost savings on electricity bills over time, as well as reducing your carbon footprint by utilising clean, renewable energy. In Western Australia, where sunlight is abundant, solar panels can be particularly efficient and effective.

  • How do I know if my home is suitable for solar panels?

    Most homes in Western Australia are suitable for solar panels if they have a roof that receives sunlight for a significant portion of the day. Factors such as roof orientation, tilt angle, shading, and available roof space will determine the efficiency of your solar system.

  • What size solar panel system do I need?

    The size of the solar panel system you need depends on your electricity consumption, roof space available, and budget. Our professional solar installer can assess your energy needs and recommend the appropriate system size to meet your requirements.

  • What is the lifespan of solar panels?

    Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years or more. Regular maintenance and proper installation can help maximise their efficiency and longevity.
