Solar energy is the most practical answer at present, given the rapidly diminishing non-renewable resources. Solar panels function even on cloudy days, so if you're apprehensive about their potential to illuminate your home on rainy days, don't be. The burden on the environment is growing as a result of the increased demand for power throughout the world. The rising monthly costs are having a significant impact on people's wallets. Solar panels will not only aid in reducing that burden, but t...

A few years ago, people assumed that the solar panel system on the rooftop was expensive and that the return could not justify the investment. But over time, the situation has changed since over two million people have embraced solar for homes to enjoy lower electric bills. The state government has passed many subsidy schemes through which people can avail of loans without any interest to install solar for homes. One can quickly check if they are eligible to avail these options. Though the...

People in a tiny town in Western Australia have shown the rest of the world how to become independent with solar energy. The small and humble town of Onslow has achieved a massive feat by going off the grid with Solar for home. All the houses have a combination of large and small-scale residential solar panels and solar batteries. Though less than 1000 people are living there, it is still a significant milestone. Onslow has shown that it is possible to adapt to the needs of the environment. T...

In addition to switching to solar power, many Australian households and businesses are investing in home solar battery systems, thanks to the advancements in technology. In addition to establishing maximum independence from the grid, solar batteries are a good way of optimising energy savings. However, this surge in new technology and better models can also leave one overwhelmed. It majorly hinges on cost, size, storage capacity, inverter, and battery compatibility with your solar panels. Fin...

A recent study conducted by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) attests to over 76,000 new installations of solar PV systems in the quarter of January to March 2021 alone. In fact, a 12-month reporting lag tells us that the actual number of installations is well over 85,000 in the said quarter. Of these installations, 86% are accounted for by National Electricity Market states, and the remaining 14% by Western Australia. https://www.solar-secure.com.au/blog/sustained-rise-average-solar-system-ca...

Solar power proves to be beneficial in more ways than one. As a result, thousands of Australian businesses and households choose to go solar every year. However, one concern that worries a lot of solar owners is this – what to do when there is no sun? It is obvious that solar panels work only in the presence of the sun, i.e. daytime, and any excess energy generated is sent back to the grid. At night or on days when sun exposure isn’t ideal, solar panels have little utility. Instead, you may ...
