The Rise of Solar Power in Australia
The solar energy industry in Australia has been growing rapidly. This growth has been driven by both rooftop and large-scale photovoltaic (PV) developments.
Solar power in Australia allows households to generate their own electricity, leading to savings on energy bills and even earning credits by selling excess power back to the grid. It also insulates them from price fluctuations in the energy market.
Cost
Compared to other countries, Australia’s solar energy prices are very affordable. This is thanks to a combination of government rebates and initiatives, as well as the nation’s burgeoning solar industry.
Solar power systems offer a number of benefits for Australian households, including lower electricity bills and the opportunity to sell excess power back to the grid. They also help reduce carbon emissions and insulate homeowners from volatile energy prices.
Solar system costs vary depending on the size and quality of the installation. A general rule is that bigger systems are more cost-effective than smaller ones. The price per watt drops as the system size increases.
A one-time investment in a solar system can pay off over time and increase your home’s resale value. The upfront cost can be offset by federal and state rebates and low interest rates from lenders who specialise in green loans.
Environment
Solar panels on a rooftop are now ubiquitous in Australia, reflecting a national trend towards sustainable energy. While it’s hard to pinpoint a single reason for this, many analysts agree that government incentives – especially an easy-to-access, upfront national rebate available to everyone – played a key role.
Additionally, the use of solar power supports jobs and economic growth by increasing the demand for manufacturing and installation services. Furthermore, the use of renewable energy promotes a greener economy by encouraging households to embrace a low carbon lifestyle.
Most importantly, the environmental impact of solar is minimal. Despite the fact that solar panel production has environmental implications, it’s still significantly less damaging than fossil fuels in the long run. The same goes for its use in households, which drastically reduces household pollution and makes a valuable contribution to the nation’s carbon reduction efforts. Moreover, it fosters energy independence by reducing dependence on fossil fuels and promoting localised production of electricity in rural areas.
Energy Bills
As the new financial year kicks in, Australia’s armies of accountants and tax professionals are sharpening their pencils and dusting off old receipts. But for many solar customers, the start of a new financial year is more significant than that: It’s when energy prices change.
When correctly sized and installed, a solar power system can save households up to $700 every quarter in electricity costs. That’s why millions of Australian families and businesses have chosen to go solar.
And that’s why it makes sense for you to invest in a quality solar system and shop around with reputable solar companies. When you do, you’ll get the best value for your money and reap long-term savings.
Feed-in Tariffs
Back when solar was rolled out with gusto by state governments to kickstart the rooftop industry, they offered consumers up to 60 cents a kilowatt hour for any electricity their system exported back to the grid. This was a great incentive to install solar but, as the technology became more widely adopted, most states dropped their tariffs to zero.
As a result, the energy retailer you choose to buy your electricity from will determine what you get paid for each kWh of power your system exports to the grid. However, some solar households in certain networks can still benefit from high feed-in rates as part of a legacy program funded by their local state government.
If you’re considering Solar power perth, make sure to select a retailer that offers competitive rates and good customer service. To help you do this, Canstar Blue’s solar provider customer satisfaction ratings are a great place to start.

"As solar panels heat up beyond 25°C, their efficiency decreases markedly. Green roofs moderate rooftop temperatures. So we wanted to find out: could green roofs help with the problem of heat reducing the output of solar panels?
Our research compared a “biosolar” green roof — one that combines a solar system with a green roof — and a comparable conventional roof with an equivalent solar system. We measured the impacts on biodiversity and solar output, as well as how the plants coped with having panels installed above them.
The green roof supported much more biodiversity, as one might expect. By reducing average maximum temperatures by about 8°C, it increased solar generation by as much as 107% during peak periods. And while some plant species outperformed others, the vegetation flourished.
These results show we don’t have to choose between a green roof or a solar roof: we can combine the two and reap double the rewards...
How did the panels affect the plants?
In the open areas, we observed minimal changes in the vegetation cover over the study period compared to the initial planted community.
Plant growth was fastest and healthiest in the areas immediately around the solar panels. Several species doubled in coverage. We selected fast-growing vegetation for this section to achieve full coverage of the green roof beds as soon as possible.
The vegetation changed the most in the areas directly below and surrounding the solar panels. The Baby Sun Rose, Aptenia cordifolia, emerged as the dominant plant. It occupied most of the space beneath and surrounding the solar panels, despite having been planted in relatively low densities.
This was surprising: it was not expected the plants would prefer the shaded areas under the panels to the open areas. This shows that shading by solar panels will not prevent the growth of full and healthy roof gardens.
Tumblr media
What were the biodiversity impacts?
We used environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys to compare biodiversity on the green roof and conventional roof. Water run-off samples were collected from both roofs and processed on site using portable citizen scientist eDNA sampling equipment to detect traces of DNA shed by the species on the roof.
The eDNA surveys detected a diverse range of species. These included some species (such as algae and fungi) that are not easily detected using other survey methods. The results confirmed the presence of bird species recorded by the cameras but also showed other visiting bird species went undetected by the cameras.
Overall, the green roof supported four times as many species of birds, over seven times as many arthropods such as insects, spiders and millipedes, and twice as many snail and slug species as the conventional roof. There was many times the diversity of microorganisms such as algae and fungi.
Encouragingly, the green roof attracted species unexpected in the city. They included blue-banded bees (Amegilla cingulata) and metallic shield bugs (Scutiphora pedicellata).
How did the green roof alter temperatures?
The green roof reduced surface temperatures by up to 9.63°C for the solar panels and 6.93°C for the roof surfaces. An 8°C reduction in average peak temperature on the green roof would result in substantial heating and cooling energy savings inside the building.
This lowering of temperatures increased the maximum output of the solar panels by 21-107%, depending on the month. Performance modelling indicates an extensive green roof in central Sydney can, on average, produce 4.5% more electricity at any given light level.
These results show we don’t have to choose between a green roof or a solar roof. We can combine them to take advantage of the many benefits of biosolar green roofs.
Biosolar roofs can help get cities to net zero
The next step is to design green roofs and their plantings specifically to enhance biodiversity. Green roofs and other green infrastructure may alter urban wildlife’s activities and could eventually attract non-urban species.
Our green roof also decreased stormwater runoff, removed a range of run-off pollutants and insulated the building from extremes of temperature. A relatively inexpensive system provides all of these services with moderate maintenance and, best of all, zero energy inputs.
Clearly, biosolar green roofs could make major contributions to net-zero cities. And all that’s needed is space that currently has no other use."

Australian community battery program cuts power bills and strengthens the grid
Australia’s community battery programme is reducing household electricity bills, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and bolstering the national grid, policymakers and analysts say.
Under the Community Batteries for Household Solar scheme, which has A$200 million (US$133 million) in state grant funding at its disposal, 400 batteries are being installed in neighbourhoods across the country. Up to 100,000 households will have access to these facilities, allowing them to store excess solar energy for use during peak times — typically in the mornings and evenings.
The programme is aimed, in part, at encouraging more households to install rooftop solar systems. It will also allow households that can’t install solar panels or their own batteries to access clean energy, and will reduce the country’s reliance on costly and polluting gas peaker plants.
While still a relatively new concept, the benefits are starting to show up.

The renewable energy sector is facing a quandary: how Australia will dispose of 80 million solar panels in an environmentally friendly way when they reach the end of their life.
Paradoxically, one of the reasons people are installing solar photovoltaic (PV) panels in huge numbers is to help the environment, but the industry is now grappling with the anticipated waste generated by 100,000 tonnes of panels due to be dismantled in Australia from 2035.
A new study led by the University of South Australia has proposed a comprehensive product stewardship scheme for solar panels, which was prioritised by the Federal Government several years ago.
In a paper published in AIMS Energy, UniSA researcher Professor Peter Majewski says incentives are needed for producers to design solar panels that can be more easily recycled if they are damaged or out of warranty.
"Australia has one of the highest uptakes of solar panels in the world, which is outstanding, but little thought has been given to the significant volume of panels ending up in landfill 20 years down the track when they need to be replaced," Prof Majewski says.

The Problem with Solar Panels Fatal Flaw. The solar industry has a potentially fatal flaw: its reliance on silver. As a precious metal, silver is costly and difficult to come by, yet critical to pretty much every kind of solar panel. There is an alternative. Copper based panels have broken world efficiency records and there are some very promising prospects, but panel manufacturers are hesitant to dump silver for copper. Why?

Solar Power for Homes and Businesses on the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast is one of Australia's leading solar power locations, with over 30% of homes on the Gold Coast already using solar panels. This solar penetration rate is driven by the abundance of sunshine, low system installation prices and substantial federal government solar incentives.
6.6kW Solar Systems for Homes on the Gold Coast
If you're looking for a solar Gold Coast system for your home on the Gold Coast that will give you maximum potential and help you to claim 33% more than the standard 5kW government solar rebate, then consider a 6.6kW system. These typically come with 20 x 330W solar panels and a 5kW inverter - meaning they'll be able to produce more power when there's less sun than the standard systems.
Battery Energy Storage for the Gold Coast
With a battery in conjunction with your solar system, you'll be able to make the most of your rooftop-generated power and reduce your mains grid electricity consumption by up to 80%! Batteries can also be used to store solar energy for use at a later date or provide backup power in case of blackout.
Solar Pitch for the Gold Coast
There are many factors that affect how much solar power a system will actually produce on the Gold Coast. The kW rating is important, but the actual usable production of a solar power system is often determined by the positioning of the panels and whether or not it has been optimised for winter.
Panels facing South of East or West will lose most of the solar power they capture in winter. So if you want to maximise the efficiency of your Gold Coast solar power system then be sure it's installed at an optimal pitch, due North.
The best way to achieve this is to get your solar panels installed at the lowest angle possible, which means lying them flat against the roof without changing the angle. This will save you time, money and effort in the long run.
If you don't have a roof at your property with a flat surface, then there are other ways to install solar panels on the Gold Coast, such as on the side of your home. These will be less expensive, but they won't look as neat and professional and are less effective at capturing sunlight.
Commercial solar solutions on the Gold Coast
Getting your business off the electricity grid is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, slash your electricity bill and minimise your reliance on the standard power grid. Having your own solar panels on your business premises will also reduce your overheads and protect you against future power price rises!
Commercial establishments can require higher sized systems for their power hungry equipment and we're proud to deliver this service on the Gold Coast. Our team of experienced installers can guide you through the process and ensure your solar installation is successful.
The Gold Coast is a fantastic location for solar panels, with a high level of sunshine and an environmentally conscious culture. The city is a great place to live, work and play - so why not get your solar panels installed now?
Certified Solar specializes in providing solar energy and energy storage system installations for commercial and residential projects. We transform our clients’ energy needs by helping them drastically reduce and eliminate their electricity bills, aiming for the maximum return on each investment.

How Solar Power Perth Can Save Homeowners Money
With a home solar system, homeowners can generate a lot of extra energy during peak power hours. The excess energy can be stored in a battery, but this comes with a price.
In addition to providing energy independence, solar power is a clean, renewable source of electricity. It also contributes to a greener environment and combats climate change.
Save Money on Electricity
Residential solar energy systems can save homeowners money on electricity costs, and help to beat rising power prices. This is because they pull energy directly from the sun, eliminating the need for costly grid-dependent electricity. This energy can then be used to run lights, appliances, and other electrical gadgets in your home. Alternatively, excess solar power can be sold back to the grid for credits on your electricity bill.
If you are looking to maximise your solar energy savings, installing a battery storage system is an excellent option. This allows you to store excess energy and use it during nighttime or cloudy days, making your solar panels perth system more effective. Furthermore, a solar battery can provide energy independence and protect you against future rising electricity prices. It also reduces your carbon footprint and contributes to environmental conservation. This is crucial in the fight against climate change.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
The sun provides a free and renewable energy source that reduces your dependency on standard electric power. This means that you’ll significantly cut your energy bills while contributing to a cleaner environment. The savings from your solar energy system can also help you pay for the initial investment of installing the system over time.
Home and business owners can save on costs and benefit from energy independence by choosing to go off-grid with a solar power system in Perth. These systems typically feature battery storage and can help you avoid the cost of expensive grid connections in the long run. Moreover, they can protect you against power outages and other energy crises.
In addition, homeowners can take advantage of rebates for the purchase of residential solar panels in Perth, including Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). This incentive helps reduce upfront costs and promotes greener living.
Boost Your Home’s Value
Solar power systems are long-term investments that pay off over the years. This means that they will add value to your home in terms of increased resale price and energy savings for any future owners or tenants.
Additionally, households that produce more energy than they consume will make money thanks to the feed-in tariff offered by Australian electricity providers. Currently, these feed-in rates are at around 7-11 cents per kWh depending on your region and the size of your system.
This additional benefit can help to increase the resale value of your property, particularly in areas where electricity prices are high. It also increases the energy independence of your property, which can be a major selling point for potential buyers. In fact, a survey conducted by Origin Energy in 2018 found that 77% of Australians believe homes with solar panels are more valuable than similar properties without them.
Support the Local Economy
A solar system significantly reduces a household’s reliance on standard electricity by producing its own clean energy. This reduces electricity costs for households in Perth and can even help them save thousands of dollars over the lifespan of their system, which can be up to 25 years. Australis Solar has helped countless homeowners in neighborhoods like Subiaco and Fremantle save money on their electricity bills by investing in a solar power perth installation.
Commercial solar installations can also reduce energy expenses, increasing profit margins and reducing vulnerability to fluctuating electricity prices. Additionally, by contributing to the development of renewable energy solutions, businesses can promote their sustainability initiatives and appeal to environmentally conscious customers.
Residential and commercial solar systems can provide an excellent return on investment, with rebates and incentives available to reduce the initial financial barrier. In addition, the feed-in tariff provides monetary compensation for excess energy generated by your system and fed back into the grid, which turns an efficient solar system into a potential income source.

Solar panels, the workhorses of the renewable energy world, have traditionally relied on silicon as their light-absorbing material. While this technology has served us well, the pursuit of innovation never ceases.  
Enter perovskite – a remarkable class of emerging solar cell materials that can be formulated into inks and printed on widely available industrial printers. Perovskite may offer a cheaper and more energy-efficient alternative to manufacturing traditional silicon-based solar cells. It is lightweight and flexible, which makes it portable for powering devices on the go, and incredibly versatile in its potential applications. 
The cells are printed using a roll-to-roll technique similar to newspaper printing, which allows for continuous, large-scale production. While roll-to-roll production of perovskite solar cells isn’t new, existing technology has faced limitations in efficiency and scalability. Our approach has achieved significant breakthroughs that address these challenges. The dramatic increase in efficiency has paved the way for commercially-viable perovskite solar cell manufacture at scale.
