Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC), which is then transformed into usable alternating current (AC) by an inverter
Before installing solar panels, it's important to assess factors like your energy needs, roof orientation, available space, and budget. In Australia, the direction and tilt of your roof can greatly influence the efficiency of your system. Our team at Smart Grid Solar will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to recommend the ideal system size and design tailored to your unique requirements.
Solar panels are built to last between 25 to 30 years, or even longer with proper care. With regular maintenance and the use of high-quality components, your solar system can provide reliable, efficient power for decades.
The Australian government provides several incentives and rebates to support solar adoption, including the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) and feed-in tariffs. Our team can help you navigate these programs and ensure you take full advantage of the available benefits.
The installation process starts with a comprehensive site assessment, followed by system design and approval. Once approved, installation typically takes one to three days, depending on the size of the system. Our experienced team ensures a seamless process with minimal disruption to your daily routine
At Smart Grid Solar, we handle everything in-house—our skilled team takes care of every step, from your initial inquiry to the final activation of your new solar system.
Solar panels require very little maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust and debris, along with occasional system inspections, helps maintain optimal performance. Our team offers professional maintenance services to keep your solar panel system running efficiently.
Yes, it’s possible to expand your solar panel system by adding more panels. Our experts can assess your current setup and recommend the most suitable expansion options to meet your evolving energy needs.
A grid-connected solar system is a photovoltaic (PV) system that is linked to the local electricity grid through a smart meter. This setup allows electricity to flow in both directions: when your solar system generates more power than your home needs, the excess energy is sent back to the grid; and when your system isn't generating enough power—such as at night or during cloudy periods—you draw electricity from the grid to meet your needs.
Solar photovoltaic panels need sunlight to generate electricity, so at night, they can't produce power. During this time, your electricity supplier (the grid) will continue to provide power to your home as needed.
