How Solar Works?

According to estimates by the Clean Energy Council, a 2-kilowatt system installed in Sydney can generate around 7.8 kilowatt hours per day, equivalent to approximately 2,847 kilowatt hours per year. This amount represents nearly 40% of the average household consumption, resulting in substantial savings on your electricity bill. By adopting solar generation, you can not only reduce your reliance on grid electricity but also enjoy the financial benefits of lower energy costs.

The amount of savings you can achieve with a solar PV system depends on various factors, such as the size, quality, and location of your system, your electricity consumption patterns, weather conditions, and any feed-in tariff provided by your retailer.

Your solar installer can provide insights into the expected output of a specific model and size of the system tailored to your home or business. To assist your installer in matching the system to your needs, it is helpful to have a typical electricity account available and an understanding of your typical electricity usage patterns throughout the day.

At SolaBoost, our experienced team will guide you through the process, ensuring that the solar PV system we recommend is optimized to deliver the best possible savings for your specific circumstances.

At SolaBoost, we prioritize sourcing high-quality products for our solar systems. That’s why our systems are backed by a comprehensive 25-year performance warranty, providing you with peace of mind regarding their long-term performance. We stand behind the quality and durability of our solar solutions, ensuring that your investment continues to deliver reliable and efficient energy for years to come.

Your current energy usage: Understanding your energy consumption helps us determine the appropriate size and capacity of the solar system needed to meet your electricity needs effectively.

Net metering policy in your state: Net metering regulations determine the extent to which you can feed excess energy generated by your solar system back into the grid, potentially earning credits or financial compensation.

Eligibility for tax credits, rebates, or incentives: We explore the available financial incentives, such as tax credits or rebates, that can help offset the cost of your solar installation and maximize your savings.

Lease or purchase options: We guide you through the decision-making process of either leasing or buying your solar system, considering factors like long-term utility price trends and potential savings over time.

By carefully evaluating these factors and customizing the solar solution to your unique requirements, we ensure that your solar installation delivers optimal performance, energy savings, and long-term benefits for your home.

The duration of the installation process for a solar system can vary depending on various factors, including the size and complexity of the installation, the availability of equipment, and the specific requirements of your property. However, as a general guideline, a typical residential solar installation can be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Our team at SolaBoost is committed to delivering a seamless installation experience. We will work closely with you to assess your needs, design the optimal system, and schedule the installation at a time convenient for you. Our experienced installers will ensure that the installation is done efficiently and to the highest standards, while minimizing any disruption to your daily activities.

Rest assured that we prioritize the timely completion of your solar installation so that you can start enjoying the benefits of clean and renewable energy as soon as possible.

The process of selling excess energy back to the grid is commonly known as net metering or feed-in tariff, depending on the specific policies and regulations in your area. Here’s how it typically works:

Energy Generation: Your solar panels generate electricity from the sunlight. This energy is used to power your home or business.

Excess Energy: If your solar system produces more electricity than you consume, the surplus energy is fed back into the electricity grid.

Net Metering: A bidirectional meter installed by your utility company measures the energy you import from the grid and the excess energy you export to the grid. This allows for a net calculation of your energy consumption.

Credit or Compensation: Depending on the net metering or feed-in tariff program in your region, you may receive credits on your electricity bill for the excess energy exported to the grid. These credits can offset or reduce the cost of any electricity you import from the grid during periods when your solar system is not generating enough energy, such as at night.

The specific details of net metering and feed-in tariff programs, including the rates and mechanisms for compensation, vary by location. Our team at SolaBoost can provide you with information about the specific policies and incentives available in your area, helping you understand the potential financial benefits of selling excess energy back to the grid.

Please note that it’s important to consult with your local utility company or energy authority to fully understand the net metering or feed-in tariff arrangements applicable to your situation.
