When you need a company with extensive knowledge and experience to install a solar panel in Sydney, whether for your home or business, Amazon Solar is your ideal choice. There were fewer than 100 000 solar systems of roof solar panel installations in Australia ten years ago, but this has increased to over two million such installations in 2020. Part of the reason for this is that these systems cost around half of what they did to install ten years ago.
Benefits of Solar Panel Installations
We are only just beginning to understand the devastating effects of over a century of excessive burning of fossil fuels on our planet. Now that we also know that these fuel sources are finite, we have had to come up with solutions for better and cleaner energy. You can install solar power for use on your property by means of solar power installations on your roof and enjoy numerous benefits by doing so.
- Although you will initially need to spend some money on your solar panel installation, you will immediately notice a cost saving in terms of your vastly reduced electricity bill. Solar energy is renewable, clean, and we are fortunate to enjoy an abundance of sunshine in Australia. You'll also be reducing your carbon footprint and moving away from dependence on fossil fuels - a win-win situation whichever way you look at it.
- By investing in a solar installation for your property, you will ensure that you are never without electricity - the system will provide a guaranteed supply of power for at least two decades.
- The technology that is used in solar panels has developed at a phenomenal rate over the past few decades, and this development is continuing, even intensifying. There is innovative new technology using quantum physics and nano-technology working towards multiplying the input of these electrical solar systems two- or three-fold.
Key Questions to Ask Amazon Solar About Solar Panel Install Sydney
As leading solar power installers in Sydney, we understand that you are bound to have many questions about your solar installation in Sydney, which is why we have elaborated on a few key questions that are most often asked by our clients.
- You'd like to know if your solar panel installation in Sydney will be capable of withstanding storms or handling extreme weather. You may be surprised to learn that these panels are more weather-resistant than a regular roof with standard tiles. More specifically, our panels can withstand hail of 25 millimetres in diameter or the equivalent of a seven-kilogram bowling ball that has been dropped from three stories up. Are you impressed yet?
- If not, you might be by the fact that having solar panels installed will instantly increase the value of your property. By installing solar panels, you ensure that your property is more sustainable than properties obtaining electricity solely from the grid, as well as being better prepared in the event of a power cut. It's worth bearing in mind that you will also be able to add additional panels to your existing system at some time in the future should the need arise.
- If one of your concerns is about your roof's ability to support the weight of the panels, we can ease your worries. You do not need any structural work when we complete the installation, and the panels and their mounting structure have a combined weight of just 15 kilograms per square metre.
In addition, we're sure you'll be pleased to know that you'll need to do little to maintain your solar panel's Installation – make sure that the panels are kept free from obstructions such as leaves or heavy dust. You'll also receive a user-friendly guide for your system once we have completed the installation.
The Importance of Solar System Installers in Sydney
No matter which solar system installers you choose to complete the work on your own property, the Australian government offers a rebate on solar systems nationwide. When you install a valid energy system on your property, you may be eligible for benefits under the SRES - Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. If your system is qualified, you will receive an STC - Small-scale Technology Certificate. While most owners tend to assign their STC to the solar power installer who is doing their installation, you could also opt to sell the certificate yourself. We'd like to emphasise the reasons for making use of solar energy, and why aiming to install solar energy systems on your own property is so important.
- Solar power is clean, easy, safe, and accessible. Sunlight is abundant and we should make the most of the power opportunities it offers, especially when you consider the alternative. Using fossil fuels is not sustainable, creates an inordinate amount of pollution, and contributes immensely to the negative impact climate change is having on our planet. Solar power contributes to cleaner air and water, and a less polluted environment. Solar panels are also silent, so even if you do experience a power cut, you'll no longer have to endure the racket of a generator going full-tilt to keep your lights on.
- You can look forward to paying less for electricity. Solar technology is developing rapidly and we are continually finding ways to make it more efficient. Gone are the days that your panels had to soak up an entire day's worth of sunlight to power an appliance or two. Smaller panels are far more efficient than their predecessors so you can enjoy a more consistent supply of electricity. You will also be impressed with how little maintenance your solar panels require.
- Costs of solar panel installations have dropped dramatically over the past decade. In conjunction with the government rebates available and your lower energy bills, you'll be able to recoup the cost of the installation in a few years. Even if you decide to move, you can sell your property for more because of the fantastic added value of the solar panel electric system.
What You Should Know About Roof Solar Panel Installations
When you begin the process of looking for a suitable solar panel installer, there are a few key things of which you should take note. Before you begin, bear in mind that buying cheaper items may save you money in the short term, but it's important that you investigate the quality of the items as well. There is little point in skimping on installation costs when you need to start replacing or repairing substandard items a year or two after installation. It also makes sense for you to find out about the applicable warranties of either the panels, the installation itself, or both.
- As a starting point, try to see how you can improve your property's energy efficiency. Look at things such as insulation or windows that don't close properly. It may seem small but you could be losing heat through these windows in the winter months, or cool air during the summer months. Once you've made sure your property is as energy efficient as possible, you can investigate installing solar panels.
- You will need to decide on the type of solar technology you'd like to install. For example, photovoltaic solar systems use sunlight that has been gathered and converted into electricity. Alternatively, you could opt for a thermal system. This system makes use of the sun to heat water or air for use inside. The latter technology is not as common as the photovoltaic system. Still, if you are spending a significant amount of money on heating your property or making sure that you have enough hot water, it may be a better option for you.
- The shape of your roof is an important consideration, as is the direction in which it slopes. You must make sure that your roof is large enough for the panels to fit, as well as having them placed in the best position to absorb the most significant amount of sunshine.
