So what is solar and why should I consider installing it?

Installing a solar panel system on your home can help you offset some or all of your electricity use with clean, renewable energy from the sun. This can potentially save you money on your monthly electricity bills, particularly if you live in an area with high electricity prices.

A home battery system can also help you save money on electricity costs by storing excess solar energy for use during times when the sun isn’t shining or at night. This can help you to use more of the solar energy that your panels generate, rather than having to purchase electricity from the grid. Additionally, if your area experiences time-of-use pricing for electricity, a home battery system can allow you to use stored solar energy during peak pricing times, rather than having to purchase more expensive electricity from the grid.

It is difficult to predict exactly what will happen with the price of electricity in Australia in the future, although we do expect them to rise substantially. Electricity prices are influenced by a variety of factors, including the cost of fuel (such as coal, natural gas, or renewable energy), transmission and distribution costs, and government policies and regulations. These factors can change over time, which can affect the price of electricity.

In recent years, electricity prices in Australia have risen significantly in some areas, due in part to the increasing cost of fossil fuels and the need to upgrade and maintain aging infrastructure. However, the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, may help to reduce the cost of electricity over time. It is also possible that advances in technology and changes in government policies could impact the price of electricity in the future.

Installing a solar panel system (also known as a photovoltaic or PV system) on your home can help you offset some or all of your electricity use with clean, renewable energy from the sun. This can potentially save you money on your monthly electricity bills, particularly if you live in an area with high electricity prices.

In addition to helping homeowners save money on their electricity bills, solar PV can also help to protect them against rising electricity prices. By generating some or all of their own electricity, homeowners with solar PV systems are less vulnerable to fluctuations in the price of grid electricity. This means that even if electricity prices rise in the future, homeowners with solar PV may be able to continue using a portion of their own clean, renewable energy at a fixed cost, rather than having to pay more for grid electricity.

It’s worth noting that while solar PV can help to protect homeowners against rising electricity prices, it is not a guarantee. The amount of money that homeowners can save on their electricity bills with solar PV will depend on a number of factors, including the size and efficiency of their PV system, the amount of sunlight they receive, and their electricity usage patterns. An accredited solar designer (like Sophie!) will work with homeowners to design a system that suits the homeowner and circumstances.
