Why Solar Power
Most electricity in Australia is generated by burning coal, which emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, trapping heat, and increasing temperatures - global warming. It is the most greenhouse intensive form of energy production.
- In Australia, 90% of electricity comes from coal-fired power stations.
- In Victoria, households are responsible for over 35% of all energy use.
- Electricity comsumed by the average household causes twice as many greenhouse gas emissions as the family car every year!
The government are offering generous rebates to purchase your own solar power system. This is your chance to take advantage of this fantastic offer now. Contact us to learn more about rebates available to you.

How does it work?
The basic idea is simple: - A Photo – Voltaic P.V. cell (Solar Panel) is a battery charger. P.V. cells are composed of silicon wafers. Under certain conditions, the sun’s rays, cause electrons from silicon atoms to be released and become available to move as an electric current. Solar Panels - composed typically of 36 PV cells – are generally rated at about 18 Volts. If they only produced 12 Volts, they would not be able to push a charging current into a 12 Volt battery.
If solar panels are considered as a battery charger, then the larger capacity (size) of the battery bank, the larger the solar panel array will be required. The capacity of the battery bank is determined by the loads (lights + appliances) required, and usually calculated in Amp hours.
