Why go solar?
Solar energy is cleaner energy. It can help reduce your reliance on the electricity grid because you’re generating your own power from the sun, which could lower your electricity bills. Now’s a good time to get into solar with this special offer from EnergyAustralia.
You could lower your electricity bills
By installing solar panels and using your own energy rather than sending it back to the grid, you could avoid retail electricity charges and save money if you're using your solar while it's generating; for example, by using your appliances during the day.
Using renewable energy
You're helping the environment by generating your own energy using the sun's rays. Renewable energy such as solar is a very cool (or hot?) investment because the electricity generated from your solar panels involves no burning of fuels or direct emissions.

FAQs
On sunny days, your solar panels may capture more energy than you actually use. When that happens, excess energy is either stored in a local battery for later use or sold back to the grid.
This means that during the cloudy days, if you have bought and installed a battery, energy you’ve stored in the past can be drawn from it. If you didn’t store energy and your panels aren’t generating enough energy to power your home, additional energy will be purchased from the grid.
Although cloudy days don’t generate as much energy, the sun’s UV rays still provide some power.
You can get more out of your solar power system with a battery, including the following benefits:
- You could help reduce your energy costs during peak times.
- You can monitor how much energy your solar system is producing.
In Australia, north-facing roofs with minimal shade and enough space are ideal for installing solar panels. However, there are often workarounds if your home doesn’t have the ideal roof for solar panels– you can discuss these with one of our energy solutions consultants.
Several factors impact your roof’s suitability for solar:
- Roof area and shading: the size of your roof, and how much sun it gets, can affect your house’s suitability for a solar system.
- Roof material and pitch: the pitch (or angle) of your roof can impact generation, ability to install, and price. Certain roof materials are not suitable for solar installs, such as slate, shingle, concrete.
- Direction: the ideal roof will face north, but it’s still possible to install on east and west-facing roofs.
- Your current switchboard: Your meter box, fuse box, electrical wiring and switchboard must be electrically compliant and solar-ready. You can check this with your energy retailer and/or distributor.
