Smart Solar Power Packages FOR Strathpine

Solar PV systems generate electricity from sunlight. The solar panels are made up of many photovoltaic (PV) cells which collect the light from the sun and convert this into DC current. This is fed through an inverter and converted to 240V AC to power your home. The amount of electricity you can produce depends on the number of panels and their efficiency, the size of the inverter, the orientation of your roof and the amount of sunlight in your location.

 This electricity can be used immediately within the home or fed into a battery or the National Electricity Grid (grid).

An inverter is an electronic device that converts the DC power generated by the solar panels into AC power at the correct voltage for supply to the grid. It also provides equipment protection and safety features.

The National Electricity Grid is the network of wires that delivers electricity from generators to homes and businesses around Australia. When you install a solar power system you become a generator of clean renewable energy.

Depending on the size of the system and site constraints, it can take one of our teams half to a full day to install a system. Once our work onsite is complete, we send off your paperwork to your energy provider on your behalf to have your net-metering undertaken. This process is controlled solely by the energy provider.

Yes. Solahart Strathpine can supply you with a Battery Ready PV system which enables a Tesla Powerwall to be installed at a later date.

For residential installations, we currently offer a finance plan which makes the switch to solar easier with flexible payment plans. We also accept cash, cheque and credit card payments.

Electricity generated by a solar power system is used to offset or replace the power that would normally be purchased from your electricity supplier — thereby reducing your power bills and saving money. This solar-generated energy also avoids the harmful pollution caused by generating electricity from the burning of fossil fuels.

The savings on offer are very attractive and will go on for years. The amount you save will depend on your household’s current electricity usage, the size of the solar system being installed, orientation and inclination of the solar panels and the feed-in tariff offered by your electricity supplier. We will assess these factors and give you an estimate of your savings as part of a free in-home solar assessment.

Yes, because the inverter will only produce power when it is connected to the grid supply.

Solar panel technology has improved significantly over the past few years. Many manufacturers that were selling panels of questionable quality are no longer in business.

Solahart only uses PV components of the highest quality — including the Solahart Silhouette panel which are covered by our 25-year Australian product warranty.

Payback periods may vary depending on the applicable feed-in tariff, householder electricity usage profile and size and cost of the PV system installed. 

We will assess these factors and give you an estimate of your payback period as part of a free in-home solar assessment.

A feed-in tariff is the rate paid by the electrical utility for each kilowatt-hour of electricity your solar power system feeds into the grid.

STCs are part of the government’s commitment to renewable energy. STCs are created when you install and commission qualifying solar hot water, solar/wind power systems or residential solar power systems.

Each STC represents 1 MWh (Megawatt hour) of energy produced. The number of STCs you are eligible for varies
depending on the size of the system you install and your location.

STCs have a market value (which may vary over time) and are tradable; they can be sold, or used to get a discount or cash. Solahart offers an up front discount on the price of a solar power system in return for the STCs.

With solar hot water, heat is captured directly from the sun through collectors installed on the roof and is transferred to the fluid circulating inside. Water is then stored in an insulated tank for future use.

Solar power (PV)  converts light from the sun into electricity. The amount generated depends on the number of panels and size of the inverter. Any excess power can be sold back into the grid or stored in a battery, while additional electricity can be bought from the grid when the sun is not shining
