There are so many great reasons to install solar panels on your Victor Harbor home.
No more scary bills at the end of a freezing winter or roasting summer.
- Powering your home.
The bulk of your savings, usually 75% or more, will come from the solar directly powering your home. This significantly reduces the amount of electricity you need to purchase from providers.
Having a device installed with your solar system allows you to track your power usage. You can then decide when the best time is to use your high powered appliances like your washing machine, dishwasher & air conditioner.
- Feed in Tariffs
You will also save by selling any excess electricity your solar produces back into the State’s electricity grid.
This will appear as a credit on your electricity bill and can also be used to offset other utility costs such as gas.
Solar power allows you to reduce your dependence on the State’s electricity grid.
In 2023 electricity prices in Victor Harbor rose by a staggering 23%.
Investing in solar offers a long term solution to owning your power reducing your reliance on utility companies and their unstable electricity costs.
With solar systems lasting 25+ years and paying themselves off within just 2-3 years, you are able to set yourself up for long term peace of mind.
With a solar battery set up, you are also safeguarded against South Australia’s frequent power outages.
The Australian government offers a financial incentive for individuals and business to install solar in Victor Harbor.
This occurs in the form of Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs).
The amount of STC’s that you will be eligible for depends on how much solar you install.
For most installations on domestic dwellings this discount is usually between $2000 – $7000.
You do not need to apply for the STCs. Solar installers will deduct the STC rebate from the cost of the solar system. This rebate should always be clearly shown on any solar quote you receive.
At the end of each calendar year the amount of STCs a solar installation generates drops and will continue to do so until 2030.
No fossil fuels are necessary to power your home.
Choosing solar helps you reduce your carbon footprint by reducing harmful gases that build up in our atmosphere and contribute to climate change. Solar utilises a natural and free resource that Victor Harbor already has in abundance to power your home. It is sustainable and totally inexhaustible, protecting the environment for our kids’ future.
Reputable solar panels are backed by a 25 year warranty. But solar panels are extremely durable and when installed correctly, using quality materials they can produce electricity for up to 40 years.
Just like most things that spend all day in the sun, solar panels degrade over time. Current model solar panels have a degradation rate of around 0.5% per year, this is much lower than the 1-1.5% degradation rate of panels installed 10-15 years ago.
This means that many panels will still be operating between 80-88% of their original efficiency after 25-30 years.
Solar panels are built to be extremely durable. Over time as they build up dirt and grime they can be cleaned by simply washing them with warm water as needed.
Solar top of the wish list for buyers and renters alike.
A report by Realestate.com and Origin Energy has found that solar power is the most popular feature to help generate savings in the home, with 85% of buyers and 67% of renters expressing a desire for a home with solar panels already installed.
Installing solar power adds significant value to your property by increasing its market appeal and offering long-term financial benefits to potential buyers.
Homes equipped with solar panels often sell faster and at a premium because buyers are attracted to the prospect of lower or even eliminated electricity bills. The savings from reduced energy costs provide a tangible benefit, making the property more desirable especially to the growing market of eco-conscious buyers.
When choosing a solar system for your home, you have two main types of systems to choose from. All our systems can be tailored to your household needs and budget.
Grid-Connected solar Systems
These systems keep your home connected to the main power grid to provide backup electricity during evenings or after periods of minimal sunshine. Your solar inverter will ensure all of the power your solar panels have generated is utilised first before drawing any electricity from the grid. Should you generate excess power a grid-connected system also allows you to feed power back into the grid and earn credits with your energy provider towards future bills. These credits can also be used to offset other utility payments such as gas.
Solar & Battery system
With home battery storage, your solar will simultaneously power your household needs whilst charging your battery. Once your battery is fully charged it will release the excess energy that your panels produce into the electricity grid, gaining you solar credits. When the sun sets on another day your battery will provide power to your house allowing you to avoid peak time electricity usage rates. A battery also provides protection during unexpected power blackouts, giving you the peace of mind that your lights won't go dark.
