Australia has the highest solar irradiance in the world, which means we can easily generate enough power to live and work from.
Off-grid power refers to systems and solutions that generate and supply electricity independently of the main electrical grid. These systems are designed to operate autonomously, providing energy to regional locations that are remote or lack access to the national grid and for businesses and industry seeking energy independence.
homegrown power: benefits for you
The benefits of using solar and batteries over fossil fuel-generated electricity are simple -
1. Affordability
The price of solar panels have dropped 65% over the past 10 years, and the price of electricity has increased over 70%. This has made solar the most affordable form of energy in the world. The International Energy Agency stated the sun could be the most dominant form of electricity by 2050, with panel efficiency and price continuing to improve.
2. Quality
All panels are Tier 1 rated, which mean they are manufactured through the top solar panel manufacturers. All panels have a minimum performance warranty of 25 years, Australian Clean Energy Council Registered, and meet Australian and International standards: IEC ISO.
3. Environment
Generating solar power reduces your reliance on grid power which is generated from fossil fuel sources such as coal and gas. A 3kW solar system will generate approximately 4000kWh of clean electricity annually. Equivalent to offsetting the annual CO2 emissions of your family's vehicle.
4. Savings
Solar power is the cheapest way to generate electricity. Whenever there is sunlight you will be generating power for your home. You can expect to immediately reduce your power bill by 30% or greater. The overall return on your investment, depending on the size and type of your system, should take somewhere between 3-5 years.
If you feed excess energy back into the grid network, you are compensated for this power in the form of a ‘feed-in'-tarrif’. This is a credit issued from the electricity retailer, in return for each kilowatt-hour fed back into the grid.
