You’ll still need to be connected to the National Electricity Market at night, as solar panels won’t work when the sun is down. Being connected to the National Electricity Market at night isn’t necessarily all that bad. Here is a quick breakdown of how solar panels work to provide your home with electricity:

The solar panels create a direct current after absorbing sunlight

The solar inverters convert the direct current into alternating current

The alternating current is distributed around to power your gadgets

Why Switch to Solar?

Renewable energy (also known as clean energy) is a power source provided by nature. A few examples you might be familiar with are windmills, water wheels, dams, and solar panels. The main reason why renewable energy is popular is that it doesn’t cause any adverse effects on the environment, so humans can power their homes without creating pollution that is harmful to the planet.

As of now, we mostly rely on coal and gasoline (fossil fuels) to power our society. While this was a great short-term solution, it’s not a sustainable method for the long-term. Eventually, we will run out of these resources and our productivity will come to a standstill. That is why switching to renewable energy like solar power is a responsible decision for any homeowner.

Right now, most electric power stations in Australia use renewable energy. The cost of installing solar panels is a bit high, but as more people make the switch, the costs will drop. Silicon is one of the most commonly found atoms on the planet. That means manufacturing solar panels is easy.

Another benefit of solar panels is that they allow people to live in more secluded areas. If you want to live off the grid (literally), solar panels make it possible. They will give you more than enough energy to power a small to mid-sized cottage.

More advancements are being made to make solar panel systems more effectively. As of now, there is no way to store solar energy, so when there’s no sun there is no power. However, if we all only used fossil fuels at night, the amount of pollution would drop to a record-breaking low. Making a change is all about slow gradual steps. One by one more Australians are making the switch to solar, and we think you should too.

How Much Do You Save?

The amount of money you save on your energy bill can vary depending on location, the type of solar panels you install, and the amount of energy you use each day. One of the best ways to check is to compare your energy costs to your previous energy bill. You’ll be able to get a better understanding after two to three months.

You can also make money back by feeding your unused energy back into the national grid. This is known as a feed-in tariff rate, and it varies based on location. We offer the best rates to homeowners in Perth, so you can make the most money on the power you don’t use. Some homeowners have saved over $80 a month on their electric bill by switching to solar. That’s almost $10,000 saved in 10 years.

There’s no doubt that you’ll save big by switching to solar. To find out more about how much you could save, call our friendly staff at (08) 9204 4511 today.
