A Feed in Tariff (Fit) is the rate at which your electricity provider will buy the Solar power from you. This is set by the state government and varies across the states. Several state governments are currently reviewing their FiT policies. Please talk to your system designer to get the latest information on Feed in Tariffs.

With net metering, the power your system produces is fed directly into your home for free. This saves you buying power from the grid. If at any time you are producing more power than your home needs, this surplus will go into the grid and your retailer will pay you for this power at your Net FiT rate. Note, your power bill will only show you a credit for this exported power. The power the system has fed into your home will not appear on your electricity bill. The front display on the inverter will show you how much total power the system has produced.

What is the process?

STEP 1 – Quote with customer, from this we send a formal proposal with rebate forms and associated information (within 1 week).
STEP 2 – Acceptance of the quote, sign rebate forms and return with deposit.
STEP 3 – Your permission to connect forms are sent to the power authority
STEP 4 – Once the power Authority provides a Permission to Connect (PTC) your installation date is booked.
STEP 5 – Installation of the System, testing and commissioning, signoff of REC’s and power company forms.
STEP 6 – Metering and inspection from local supply authority (approx. 2 – 3 weeks).

North facing is the ideal situation, but panels facing east or west will still provide a very high percentage of power. The optimum angle of the solar panels is the latitude of the installation. For example, Brisbane is 27.5 degrees and Sydney 34 degrees. On a flat roof we can use adjustable frames to ensure that the panels achieve that angle. On pitched roofs we typically will install the panels flush with the roof.

All of our solar panels come with a 25 year manufacturer’s warranty. This is longer than almost anything else you can buy. Most other components have a minimum 5 year warranty. Our installation and workmanship are covered by a 10 year warranty.

PV systems can be blended into virtually every conceivable structure for commercial buildings. You will find PV being used outdoors for security lighting as well as in structures that serve as covers for parking lots and bus shelters, generating power at the same time. Architects can use building-integrated PV to design buildings that are environmentally responsive, aesthetically pleasing, and produce their own power. Building-integrated PV provides a dual-use building material, reduces PV system costs by using the building as the mounting or support structure, and reduces utility bills through on-site power production.
