Yes. They reduce energy bills, lower your carbon footprint, and often qualify for government incentives. Despite upfront costs, the long-term savings and added property value make them a smart investment.
Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity via silicon photovoltaic cells. An inverter transforms this into alternating current (AC) to run your home. Excess power can be stored in batteries or exported to the grid.
Yes. While less optimal than pitched roofs, flat roof installations can be effective using angled mounting systems to capture sunlight efficiently.
That depends on energy usage, system compatibility, and whether you want energy independence or backup power. We help evaluate if a battery system justifies the additional cost.
Lithium-ion batteries typically last between 10–20 years, with some premium models exceeding that. Lead-acid batteries usually last 5–10 years. Factors such as discharge depth, cycle count, and environmental conditions influence lifespan.
Once a battery is full, the system’s Battery Management System prevents overcharging, after which any extra energy is exported to the grid—either through net‑metering credits or payments.
Yes, in many cases. With correctly sized systems and battery storage, homes can run off solar power for much of the day. However, factors such as consumption levels, solar capacity, and backup solutions matter.
The process typically includes site assessment, system design, permitting, roof preparation, mounting hardware and panels installation, inverter setup, grid connection, and system testing followed by user handover.
You can increase efficiency by optimising panel tilt and orientation, keeping panels clean, using battery storage to capture excess energy, and applying smart energy management or shifting consumption.
Not all OEM or inverter systems support battery integration. Compatibility should be checked by a qualified solar installer to ensure seamless integration.
