Solar Electric Systems

Solar inverters convert direct current (DC) that is absorbed through solar energy into an alternating current (AC), which is the functional type of energy your home requires.

Solar panels are generally what people first think of when considering solar electric systems. These absorb sunlight via a photovoltaic surface and form an intrinsic electric field.

Mimicking the appearance of regular roof shingles, solar roof tiles function like solar panels to absorb sunlight. They can be fixed on top of existing shingles or completely replace them.

When accumulating massive amounts of energy during the day, as is common in sun-heavy regions across Australia, solar panels require solar batteries to store excess DC.

Solar electric systems are slowly becoming a staple in modern buildings for their environmental consideration and long-term cost efficiency. They can be connected to the existing power grid in Australia or utilised as a standalone system. This means they provide back-up power during blackouts as they do not need to rely on standard power supplies. Solar batteries are especially useful, storing excess energy to be used when solar power cannot be accumulated. When dealing with any of these products, focusing on quality should always be a priority. This ensures products that are well-developed, more efficient, made from higher quality materials for greater longevity.

With so many components to consider, it can be overwhelming to know what your home needs. Solar panels and solar inverters provide a great foundation. Solar roof tiles are a discreet option, blending in with existing shingles so as to not distract from the aesthetic of the architecture. This is especially effective in homes that already have dark roof tiles. For households in Australia that use power well into the night, solar batteries are absolutely necessary, allowing you to continue powering your home without relying on the main power grid.
