Residential Solar - the nuts and bolts

How does Solar Power work?

Solar power is one of the world’s fastest-growing energy resources and is now more affordable than ever. With a great return on your investment, it’s easy to make the smart choice. The sun provides us with a perfect power source. Grid-tied systems harness the sun's rays and convert them into electricity to be used in your home. Solar power is not reliant on heat, only sunlight and UV rays, Dunedin receives 1600 sunshine hours a year which makes it an ideal area to benefit from Solar power usage.

People are becoming more aware of the need for cost-effective renewable energy sources. Solar is proving to be just that, with no pollution, no emissions and no carbon footprint, easy to set up and eco-friendly, it ticks all the boxes.

• Sunlight shines onto your solar panels, which ideally should be pitched in a northerly direction.
• The Direct Current that is generated through the panels is sent to your Inverter to convert to an Alternating Current, which your home or business uses.
• The new generated electricity is now available to power your property.
• Your electricity meter measures the amount of power you consume. The difference between the electricity generated by the solar system and the electricity consumed off the grid is measured.
• Any excess electricity is sent back to the grid and used by your electricity utility company.
