How Solar Works

How Does Solar Work?

	1	Photons Photons from the sun hit the solar panels.
	2	Solar Panels Solar panels absorb solar energy to energise electrons and send DC power to the inverter.
	3	Inverter DC power from the solar panels is inverted to AC power for use in your home, saving you buying power from the grid.
	4	Switchboard Meter Accounts for energy consumed from the grid and calculates excess energy from your solar system transferred back to the grid.
	5	Battery Storage A great way to capture your excess solar energy during the day and store it for when you need it most, at night or during peak energy times.

In using the BYD battery I have been able to store excess solar rather than exporting it.

Load shifting has enabled me to save a huge amount of money.

Very happy with the experience. Everything was done when you said it would be done, and to an exceptional standard.

Thank you.

I had a pool installed recently, with a few different tradies in and out and they left the site with issues. In contrast, Solar Australia came in, did their job and everything was good. I had a look on the roof and it was a good job. The installers were easy to talk to, good at their job and knew what was going on. The girls in the office were very helpful and able to answer questions and if not, put me in touch with right person. My panels had to be separated on the roof so the inspector determined that the best option would be for micro inverters. I never knew much about the systems but he explained everything to me on the day

The salesman was highly professional and understandable, even though I am not from an electrical background. Installation team very incredibly efficient, cleaned up any mess, very polite, very knowledgeable regarding installation location options. I would also say they were very considerate of our pets, ensuring they kept the gate shut and an eye on the dogs. Very pleased with the result and I would recommend your services to anyone interested in solar.

Can’t thank the boys enough for their work, especially Mick and his helper and his boss for all their work. And unbelievable patience, persistence and work. Cannot thank them enough

We had 6 solar panels fitted in February 2013. Since then we have received 3 bills. The dearest bill was $126.00; the last bill was $115.00. We are aged pensioners and we were advised to use the electricity during the day, i.e. showers, cooking, washing, heating, A/C etc., with minimum power during the evening & night. Compared to the previous years’ bills we have saved over $300.00 per quarter on each bill. We highly recommend using Solar Australia to have 6 or 8 or more panels fitted.

Tina & Bill

Very very happy. They have already produced more power than what was on the estimated sheet; 28, 29 and one day nearly 30kW. Thanks – looking forward to our first bill to see how we went.

Paul has gone over and above any other company with his advice, professional approach and kindness shown today to me. This young man took his time to explain each and every step in language that I could understand and definitely given 110%. I cannot say enough about this man and Solar Australia in general as all steps have been easy and it’s a pleasure to do business with you all.

Kevin L

Very impressed with your professional and friendly staff. Knew their product and industry well and overcame unexpected hurdles with aplomb! I will be recommending your company to others who are interested in solar power systems.

Thank you for making our transition into solar energy soooo easy. A company that actually works for their customers. Two big thumbs up!!!

Hi Guys, I just wanted to let you and the world know how much money we have saved since placing Solar on our roof. This time last year our bill was over $700, this year... $119.00! August to Nov last year prior to installation was $2000... this year it was $333.82. Come on Australia, get onto Solar because at these savings it has put a spring in my step.

Changing suppliers has made an added difference and I cannot speak more highly of the staff at Energy Australia. Thank you Solar Australia for looking after us, and helping long term in our financial survival.
