We don’t shy away from the reputation that solar installers have gotten over the years, instead, we aim to challenge it every chance we get. Unfortunately, not everyone is on board, and many are still caught up in bad habits.
Many companies are trying to do the right thing,
Being in the industry, we often hear about the breakthroughs being made in development stage solar power, and to be honest, it excites us nearly as much as energy storage. It was a shock to the industry when it was reported that panels were exceeding 20%, reaching up to 22.
Arguably, your inverter is the most important piece equipment you’ll own if you are considering going solar. If you already own a solar system, you will understand this already. We have written a lot about what an inverter’s main function is, and we have even discussed their limitations
Our "4 Step Guide to Going Solar" will show you how easy going solar can be. From checking your bill to living without one.
With 1.6 million Australians already running on the sun,
Battery storage is touted as being the next big energy revolution after efficient solar arrived around a decade ago. If this is anything like last time, in which global solar capacity skyrocketed from 4.1 GW in 2003 to 141 GW 2013, then we will be in for a ride.
Microinverters are said to be disrupting the industry by promising a 5-25% increase in output efficiency, however their greatest competitor, the ever reliable string inverter continues to dominate the market internationally.
The type of inverter you end up choosing is one of the most important decisions to make when looking
On the face of it, it might feel like 2016 is a year of reckoning for the solar industry, last week we wrote about tariffs being cut across the country, and today we hear that rebates will be phased out as early as 2017. This might sound shocking, given rebates
Two titans of industry, two rising stars... two solar inverter companies. SMA and Fronius are both considered to be industry leaders in premium grade solar inverter technology, and both are competing head to head for the Australian market. While there is no denying both companies provide a great quality product,
Obviously, we love solar. It’s green, efficient, free energy straight from your own rooftop. But, even we can admit that most solar products don't have the same appeal as the latest Iphone. Design and usability often lag behind a rapidly improving technology, but solar is finally showing signs of
