Solar power is clean and free, and the technology is evolving quickly. When solar first caught on, solar power was too expensive for many homeowners. Today, it's more affordable and more efficient. The solar industry
is growing, and there are now companies specializing in solar installations. If you're considering solar power, here are five things you should know.
Solar panels on your roof are the fastest way to get solar power. The advantages and disadvantages of solar panels depend on your location. In some areas, such as Toowoomba, solar is the right choice. But in many
areas, it isn't.
Factors such as your roof's exposure to the sun, local weather conditions, the tilt of your roof and other factors make solar power more or less effective in certain locales. If you live in an
area that's generally sunny, solar panels on your roof are a good idea.
Solar power systems :
A solar power system consists of solar panels on your roof, a solar inverter and wiring. In some cases, installation of a solar power system includes other components, such as a battery system for backup power.
Costs and savings:
The price of a solar power system depends on several factors, including the size and type of system you need. In general, the more electricity you need, the more expensive a solar power system will be. But most
homeowners find that the cost of solar power systems is offset by savings of hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on their electricity bills.
A solar power system can be financed, which means that you pay no
money upfront. That can be a significant savings, especially if it's financed over a period of 10
Solar Panels Maintenance
Solar energy systems require regular care and maintenance to ensure they continue working efficiently and safely.
To help keep your system functioning at its best, Solar Toowoomba has created a series of preventative
maintenance guides.
In this guide we look at the yearly maintenance required to keep your solar panels producing electricity.
The guide is broken into sections, with each section describing the annual maintenance
required to keep your system going.
The guide also includes information on any repairs or replacements your solar panels may need.
If you have an emergency repair, Solar Toowoomba recommends that you seek
professional advice from a solar professional as soon as possible.
