Why choose an accredited solar installer?

When choosing an accredited solar installer, it is essential to ensure that they are going to deliver quality work using quality products and be able to help you if things go wrong in the future. Smart Power Solutions will provide you with all of this and give you expert, honest advice from an accredited solar electrician to help you decide on the best possible system for your property and budget.

The size of your solar system will depend on a number of factors:

  • The amount of sunshine you receive in your location
  • The angle and orientation of your roof
  • How much energy you typically consume in winter and summer

Solar Panels

Solar power systems work by converting the sun’s light energy to usable electricity in your home or office.
Solar power system requires direct sunlight, not just daylight to operate efficiently. The sunlight triggers a chemical reaction in the panels, and as a result, direct current (DC) energy is generated. The inverter then converts the solar panel’s DC power to AC power which you can use.

At Smart Power Solutions we believe in only using the best quality products with a solar rating of Tier 1 for your system. We have been installing solar panel systems for over 10 years and know which brands work and which ones cause the most problems. You may be able to get cheaper deals using other brands, but we believe in using quality products that will last.

But it’s not as simple as choosing just a reputable brand. The quality of the install plays just as an important role in whether your system will last 25+ years on your roof as it should, or 5 years or less by an inexperienced or unqualified installer.

How much rebate do I get?

The solar industry benefits from a government incentive called the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. It provides an incentive to install eligible renewable energy systems through the creation of STC’s or Small-scale Technology Certificates. Under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, households and businesses with solar power systems up to 100kW, receive Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for every megawatt hour of renewable energy generated or displaced by an accredited solar panel.

Like shares, STCs have a trading value, which fluctuates depending on supply and demand. Most solar customers choose to exchange their STCs for an upfront discount (rebate) on their PV system. The amount of your rebate will depend on the trading value of the STCs at the time of your solar investment.
