What’s an inverter and where is it positioned?

The best position for solar panels is wherever there is maximum sunshine & minimal shade on the roofs that are directed into best North orientation.
The optimal solar energy capture in non-tropical parts of Australia is gained when solar panels face north and are tilted at a 30 degree angle. For tropical regions panels receive maximum sunlight through the year when laid almost flat with a slight northerly tilt.

There are different solutions considered for different roofs.

On the tile roof basically the North faced roof is regarded as the best while on flat tin roof the panels will be tilted 30 degree to supply the best sunlight reception.

Our installers are trained to locate solar units as discreetly as possible on any roof or fixture however, they can also be erected as freestanding anywhere on your property.

What maintenance is required for my solar panels?

Inverters are devices that take the direct current (DC) electricity generated from your solar panels and convert it into 240V alternating current (AC) that can be used in your home.

Inverters are usually quite small roughly the size of a laptop in dimensions and are positioned close to your Main Power Switchboard.

What maintenance is required for my solar panels?

The best way you can maintain maximum functionality is by simply ensuring your solar panels are kept clean and free from debris. We recommend you only use clean water and a soft brush or sponge as detergents and cleaning agents have the potential to scratch the glass.

There are no moving parts, therefore:

A quality solar panel installation should last you for 20 years or more.
