Why Going Solar Could Be the Right Choice

Grid Connect and hybrid solar power systems can safeguard you against ongoing increases in power prices whilst: 

  • Generating your electricity in-house & heating your own water 
  • Exporting the power you don’t use back to the grid for feed-in tariffs 
  • Accessing government assistance 
  • Making your home more valuable 
  • Being friendly to the planet 

Think of solar as an investment; and if you treat it as such, you’ll be amazed by how much you can save. Call today to find out more!

Generating your own electricity is a great feeling, but even more-so when you can completely eliminate your power bill. Install a Grid Connect system in Cobar to subsidise your connection charges.

In Cobar the sun shines all year-round making solar a viable investment, but when those gloomy days come, you’ll want to avoid having to use the grid. Hybrid solar systems help by storing excess power.

We have sun in abundance in Cobar, so why not use it to power your hot water? Either evacuated tube or flat plate collectors will do the job nicely; it just comes down to your budget.

Gas powered hot water systems are a reliable, cost-effective way to heat the temperature of your water in Cobar. There’s even the option for ‘instant’ systems that heat only when you need it!

If being eco-friendly isn’t an important factor when choosing to heat your water, electric hot water systems are still a popular choice in Cobar. They’re cheap to install with no compromise on pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Is Gas or Solar Hot Water better in Cobar?

Answer: Choosing between a gas or solar hot water system comes down to what you value the most; both have their advantages and disadvantages. Solar hot water systems are the eco-friendly alternative, allowing you to become more self-sustainable and avoid costly power bills. Any household appliances or systems that cool or heat are the biggest consumers of electricity; so, shifting to solar for heating your water makes a big difference. However, solar is more costly to install than a gas system, takes longer to reheat if you run out of hot water and can result in weaker water pressure.  

Question: What’s the difference between solar inverters in Cobar?

Answer: The main two types of inverters used for household solar power systems in Cobar are string inverters and microinverters. Both have the primary function of converting direct current (DC) electricity produced in your solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity. This helps to reduce the risk of your system overheating and catching fire, whilst also acting as a prerequisite for feeding back into the grid. 

String inverters are easier to maintain as electrical componentry is not stored on the roof which also makes them more durable. However, when using software to monitor the performance of your system they don’t allow for individual panel performance to be tracked – whereas microinverters do. Microinverters are a popular choice because they allow you to better optimise panel performance and are more scalable if you decide to add more panels in the future.
