Solar Companies In South Australia

Getting a solar power system is a great way to reduce your energy costs. However, choosing the right company can help ensure that your investment is a smart one.

Solar companies in South Australia are offering more incentives than ever, making it a great time to get your own system. The Federal Government and electricity retailers offer a number of rebates to help you start generating your own power. Some of these include a solar feed-in tariff, which pays you for the extra energy you export back to the grid. If you qualify for the Home Battery Scheme, you can receive a $500 subsidy.

A solar power system can save you money and give you a social responsibility. It also has a significant environmental benefit. In fact, South Australia has the lowest per-person greenhouse gas emissions in the nation. By using solar energy at home, you can help reduce the country's carbon footprint.

If you are looking to invest in a solar panel system, there are several companies in Adelaide that will help you choose the best product for your needs. From commercial solar panels to residential panels, there are many companies that offer different options to suit your needs.

The most obvious choice would be a company with a track record in installing quality solar products. This is where companies like Solar Energy Adelaide come in. They offer a range of systems suitable for homes, businesses and rural properties throughout South Australia. These include tailored solar power systems, air conditioning and energy monitoring technology.

Jinko Solar is a leading manufacturer of solar power products. With over 100 countries under its belt, the company is committed to manufacturing solar panels with "Zero defects" in mind. Several of their products boast a "positive power tolerance" that will allow them to deliver massive power output.

Other leading providers in South Australia include DQ Electrical & Solar. The team is based in Adelaide and offers solar panel installation, inverter installation, and solar battery solutions. Besides, they provide ongoing electrical inspections and maintenance.

The SEM Group specializes in providing innovative energy solutions to both the residential and commercial markets. They utilize the technology of JinkoSolar, QCells, and SolarEdge. Also, they offer a wide variety of finance options for solar panel installations and packages.

One of the most important things to consider when buying a solar system is the efficiency of the panels and inverter. Panels that use n-type cell technology will give you better performance in high temperature conditions. Another example is the use of a bifacial design, which allows the top part of the panel to deliver when the bottom part is shaded.

Choosing the most efficient panel is a wise decision. However, it is also a good idea to select a reputable installer to install the system. Your system will operate at full capacity only if it is installed by a professional. Therefore, you need to choose a company that has trained experts to oversee the installation process and ensure your panels are operating at their optimum potential.

At Eguana Solar, we assemble all our solar batteries in Adelaide & have 100% Aussie support! All our solar products are installed by our highly skilled, professional & licensed team directly!

i remember hearing about solar panels that work at night by capturing infrared radiation from the earth or something. no clue if they actually work. however even if they do work… don’t solar panels also require a shitton of mining. wind turbines are super non-recyclable. hydro has frequently displaced people due to damming rivers. nothing is perfect and it’s naive to act like anything is

yeah iirc solar panels use a lot of silver and aluminium, the mining of which--and please, hold the gasps of surprise--has caused massive amounts of suffering to indigenous people in south america and australia. there is no expansion of industry under global capitalism that will not concentrate suffering and damage in the most marginalized communities of the global south. and yet by not choosing, by refusing to advocate for nuclear power because of the harm it can cause, people who think of themselves as environmentally conscious are tacitly advocating to continue fossil fuel extraction and usage, which is measurably, by any conceivable metric, far, far worse. sad!

Great thing about free time is you never really know what you’re going to end up doing, learning or seeing. One day last week when temperatures were not in the 30s, we left on foot toward South Perth (known for the Perth Zoo but not our chosen destination) with only exploring in mind. We reached the bottom of Kaarta koomba (Kings Park) bluff and had a busy freeway to navigate across. I saw a pedestrian overpass in one direction but Craig noted an unmarked cross walk the other. In Australia, you may already know but vehicles have the right away so crossing a freeway can be a very harrowing experience. So a sandy gritty walk to the overpass it was.

The overpass itself was noticeably immaculate, air conditioned and linked a three level parking lot (or car park) to The Old Swan Brewery - a beautifully restored red brick building on the riverfront visible from downtown (or CBD central business district) Perth. The old brewery ceased production in 1966 and is now condos, offices, a restaurant (Cooee) and a non-operational brew pub (why it is not open is beyond me - imagine a brick RVYC building in Stanley Park, Vancouver with a fully built out antique bar and you can walk along the seawall to get there).

Cooee’s patio looked out to the Swan River and seemed so zen we decided to stop for an iced dirty chai latte and banana bread (wondering where did the banana bread craze come from?). We voted this chai the best we’ve had ever.

Recharged and emptied bladders, we set off across the bridge. The salt water river was jammed with huge ominous jellyfish which made me wonder about efforts to rejuvenate the ecological health of the Swan River. Couldn’t find much online but hopefully someone’s concerned about it and taking action. Update - apparently the rise in water temperature is responsible for the increase in jellyfish. This guy is kinda gross and harmless but apparently very protective of the lighter coloured ones that do sting.

The waterfront park and walk on the south side was expansive and quiet. The condos along South Perth Esplanade (such inventive names) were a nice mix of decades of design and the grounds all well manicured. There’s a catamaran ferry (small seabus) that runs every fifteen minutes to the CBD for $2.30 each way. Once you reach the dock of the ferry, you’ve reached the hub of South Perth - felt a little bit like Edgemont. We wandered up through the Shopping Plaza (basically a lobby area) and onto the street and headed towards the park and the zoo, stopping a a quaint little museum. Apparently South Perth was joined to the rest of the city by the tram system back in the early 1900s, much to the dismay of some of its residents. In fact one person shot at the conductor and the tram when the situation reach its boiling point. And we saw the sketches of May Gibbs, former Perth resident who is famous for her gumnut babies tales and illustrations. Further on our walk, the zoo didn’t appeal enough to pay the entrance fee but we did learn of the hardy grass trees (balga) a staple of the aboriginals, which flower after bushfires and their sap mixed with charcoal and kangaroo poo makes a superglue resin (some dirty hands must have discovered that!). As well as the grass trees and the related information sign, I wanted to show the solar panels used as a covered shaded walkway up to the zoo entrance. How clever.

Wandering back through the shopping area, including some frivolous clothing try ons, we took note for future visits that some of the condos have monthly rental available. We discovered the Good Grocer (Urban Fare like) with all its healthy reasonable readymade food options. While we continued our walk along the seawall, it was reaching the high for the day of 29. Up ahead a sandwich board sign caught my eye about a driverless vehicle test being conducted by RAC (Royal Automobile Club like BCAA or AMA) so we signed up for it in the hopes of escaping the heat.

The 11 seater electrical bus (equipped with ceiling straps for more standing passengers) has been gathering data since 2016 (7 years!) on a programmed route between the riverfront and The Old 1835 Mill (more on that later maybe). This route is about 2km and 1/2 hour return trip apparently using superior technology to Tesla. There were three buses manufactured but only one currently in daily operation except during lightning storms. I’m wondering why there’s not more of these on the roads gathering data and why there’s not enough data gathered after 7 years to show the ideal options for the safe use of this technology. Hospitals, public park maintenance, airports all seem reasonable places to use these autonomous vehicles to transport people safely. Apparently legislation is blocking further expanded use of them. Wondering how reactionary human operators could be viewed as safer than these emotionless and egoless programmed electric vehicles operated at optimally efficient speed.

Our surprise day ended with a riverfront dirty martini happy hour and quinoa salmon salad for dinner and a driver operated ferry and bus ride for our return trip back. Who knew what this 15k step day would bring.

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.

Five Questions to Ask Before Installing Solar Panels

Solar panels have acquired immense popularity all across the globe. Why wouldn’t anyone want to take advantage of the sun – a free, abundant, and renewable source of energy, right? Because they believe that installing solar panels is a challenging task. You must consider the initial expense as well as choose the right type of solar panel for your house. Below are a couple of questions to ask before making the investment. Please check them out.

How Solar Panels Work?

The experts providing high-quality solar panels Adelaide said solar panels convert sunlight to create energy. They are usually found on the rooftops but people can install them practically anywhere in the house. The energy created by the panels must first be stored inside a dedicated battery and then used. The energy can also be sent back to the primary electric grid.

Is Your Roof Ideal for Solar Panels?

A damaged or old roof cannot endure the weight of the panels. Before purchasing solar panels, please get your roof professionally inspected. Make the necessary repairs. At least, get new shingles or else the whole grid will have to be removed in future. What should you do if a roof is completely ruined? Go ahead and place the panels in the backyard. Allow the panels to absorb substantial amounts of sunlight.

What are the Different Types of Solar Panels?

According to the experts offering top-notch Adelaide solar panels, the three types of solar panels available on the market are – monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin film. Monocrystalline panels are what you see in most residential properties. Even though the price is on the higher side, these panels are most efficient. Polycrystalline panels are a bit less efficient but they do not cost that much. Thin film panels have a fine design. They are portable and flexible too.

What is the Difference between Solar Panels and Solar Shingles?

Most people get confused between solar panels and solar shingles. The former is traditional and does not cost much. The latter, on the other hand, are relatively new. They sit on top of the roof and look visually appealing. However, solar shingles are a tad more expensive than panels.

Do You Need Permits for Installing Solar Panels?

When it comes to solar panels, every state and municipality has its own set of regulations. You may need a permit to install the panels. Ask your local authority. Depending on what you are opting for, you may have to wait to get the approval. Before choosing and buying solar panels, please get the formalities sorted first.

Once you get solar panels hooked up, you will be able to reduce the electricity bills in a seamless manner and add value to your entire house. The experts providing solar panels South Australia say that with time, dirt, dust, and debris will accumulate on top of the panels, which will degrade their performance. In fact, according to the NREL, soiling contributes to 7.5% of energy loss. Make sure to clean your solar panels so they can operate at optimal efficiency.

Solar Panels Rebates in South Australia

Solar panels are an effective way to reduce your electricity costs. They can also help to lower your carbon footprint. You may have heard about solar panel rebates, which make solar power affordable to more consumers. However, the amount you will get depends on your location, the type of system you choose, and the quality of the panel.

In South Australia, the state has over two gigawatts of solar PV generating capacity statewide. Over one in three homes in the state have installed a solar system. This is because of both government incentives and the positive effects of the technology. There are many solar deals in the market that offer generous FiTs. Buying from the same company can lead to cheaper prices.

While there are numerous incentives to install solar panels, a good idea is to use the "feed-in-tariff" or FiT for surplus electricity. Electricity retailers in the state offer FiTs between five cents and 16 cents per kWh. The FiT is not fixed by the government, but varies by retailer.

In order to receive the subsidy, you need to be an eligible household, live in South Australia, and use more than 2,000 kilowatts of electricity annually. You can also get a small fee for a larger solar system. If you have an energy concession, you can receive a higher subsidy of $250 per kWh of electricity.

Fortunately, the cost of solar panels South Australia has fallen significantly. Today, you can expect to pay between $3,700 and $8,900 for a new system. A larger system can cost up to $9,000. Getting a solar loan is a good way to finance your new solar system. Your repayments will begin after the system is installed. You can also join a solar club.

While the solar industry in South Australia is well-developed, there are challenges in managing the state's grid. For instance, AEMO fears that rooftop PV will trip off due to network disturbances. It is hoped that the combination of solar and battery will provide an enhanced capacity in the market.

On a positive note, the state government announced funding for eight million dollars worth of solar panels on the roof of the new Goyder Pavilion at the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds. Several hundred public schools and the State Parliament also have solar PV on their roofs. And the Adelaide Airport has recently installed solar PV on its roofs.

If you are planning to purchase a solar system, you should make sure you are buying from a reputable retailer. The retailer should be licensed to sell and install solar panels in the state. He or she should also ensure that the installation process is as flawless as possible.

With a variety of options available, the choice of a solar system is a personal decision. It should fit your needs and budget. You may even want to use your excess solar power as a backup resource for electricity.

One of the best places in the world for solar technology is in South Australia. The state's climate provides ample sunshine throughout the year.

Good News - May 8-14

Like these weekly compilations? Support me on Ko-fi! Also, if you tip me on Ko-fi, at the end of the month I'll send you a link to all of the articles I found but didn't use each week - almost double the content!

1. Critically endangered fish with red hands and 'sad toad face' returned to the wild in Tasmania

“Conservationists in Australia are celebrating the return of 18 critically endangered red handfish to the sea after they were taken into care at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) in January to protect them from marine heatwaves.”

2. A rare Australian marsupial is being genetically modified to save it from extinction. Here's how

“Scientists are trying to genetically 'edit' the endangered northern quoll to make it resistant to the neurotoxin of the invasive cane toad. […] Now experts in gene-editing […] say they can introduce genetic resistance to the toxin by taking DNA from a species of South American lizard and ‘edit’ that into the cells of a northern quoll. They have already managed to do this with the cells of the closely related dunnart, another endemic marsupial.”

3. More and faster: Electricity from clean sources reaches 30% of global total

“For the first time, 30% of electricity produced worldwide was from clean energy sources as the number of solar and wind farms continued to grow fast. [...] Some of [the past year’s] new demand was for heat pumps, which are an efficient way to both heat and cool buildings, and for electric vehicles. [... Last year was also] the 19th year in a row that solar was the fastest-growing source of electricity generation.”

4. Standards Established To Improve Health Care For Kids With Disabilities

“Developed by a panel of health care experts, adults with disabilities and caregivers, the plan published recently in the journal Pediatrics […] calls for providers to be trained about caring for those with neurodevelopmental disabilities, improved communication with patients and their families and proactive planning in advance of health care encounters to ensure that patients are at ease and provided accommodations.”

5. Working together to better understand Alaska’s beluga whales

“Beluga conservation efforts depend on an accurate count of whales. Indigenous hunters also need to know how many belugas there are so that they [can] decide how many can be safely harvested. That’s why WWF is bringing together Western science and Indigenous knowledge […. U]sing hydrophones to detect belugas in the Yukon River works—and it is an approach that is both cost-effective and non-invasive.”

6. Robotic system feeds people with severe mobility limitations

“Researchers have developed a robotic feeding system that uses computer vision, machine learning and multimodal sensing to safely feed people with severe mobility limitations, including those with spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis. […] The robotic system successfully fed 13 individuals with diverse medical conditions in a user study spanning three locations[….] Users of the robot found it to be safe and comfortable, researchers said.”

7. Senate Passage of America’s Conservation Enhancement Act a Win for Wildlife

“The Senate’s reauthorization of the America’s Conservation Enhancement (ACE) Act will benefit America’s wildlife and way of life. Led by Senators Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Shelley Capito (R-W.Va.), the bill invests in wetlands and habitat restoration projects across the country as well as strategies to reduce conflicts between wildlife and livestock. […] The passage of this bill shows us once again that Americans are united on the need to protect wildlife and our outdoor heritage,” said Andrew Wilkins, director of land conservation policy at the National Wildlife Federation.”

8. Liberals and conservatives differ on climate change beliefs--but are relatively united in taking action

“The study, led by researchers at New York University, finds that when given the opportunity, liberals and conservatives take action to address climate change at roughly the same levels -- and that this is due to conservatives choosing to take action despite their climate-change beliefs rather than liberals failing to act on theirs.”

9. Democratic state attorneys general are teaming up to protect abortion access

“A group of Democratic attorneys general are working to strengthen state-level protections for abortion, contraception and gender-affirming care. These protections could include expanding the use of so-called “shield laws,” which assert that states where abortion or gender-affirming care are legal won’t cooperate with out-of-state efforts to prosecute anyone who helped provide treatment.”

10. Antwerp gives residents free trees

“The Belgian city of Antwerp has 2,000 trees to give away, and it wants to give them to residents to plant in their gardens [...] with the aim of involving citizens in the greenifying process of the city. [...] What’s more, the city website offers practical advice on how to proceed with planting and caring for the tree so that it will meet the standards set by the municipality. [...] The City makes sure to give dead trees a second life by using their wood in the making of natural kids’ playgrounds.”

Building the Perfect Greenhouse: A Guide for Greenhouse Builders

Choosing the Right Location

The location of your greenhouse is crucial. The ideal site will maximize sunlight exposure, minimize shading, and be sheltered from strong winds. In the Northern Hemisphere, south-facing greenhouses receive the most sunlight, especially during the winter months when daylight hours are shorter. Avoid placing your greenhouse near tall buildings, trees, or any structure that might cast shadows. Additionally, access to water, electricity, and drainage should be part of the planning phase to ensure your greenhouse runs efficiently.

Selecting the Right Frame Material

The frame of the greenhouse is the structure that supports the entire building, so choosing the right material is essential. greenhouse builders Greenhouse builders typically opt for one of three main materials: wood, aluminum, or galvanized steel.

Wood is an attractive option for smaller, hobby greenhouses. It has a natural aesthetic appeal and can blend well into a garden. However, it requires regular maintenance to prevent rot and insect infestation.

Aluminum is a popular choice due to its lightweight nature and resistance to rust. It requires less maintenance compared to wood and offers excellent durability.

Galvanized Steel is often used for larger, commercial greenhouses because of its strength and longevity. Though heavier than aluminum, it provides a sturdy frame that can withstand harsh weather conditions.

Choosing the Right Glazing

Glazing refers to the covering material used for the walls and roof of the greenhouse, which is essential for regulating light and temperature inside. Greenhouse builders typically choose between glass, polycarbonate, or polyethylene film.

Glass is a traditional option that provides excellent light transmission and a classic look. However, it can be expensive and fragile, making it less suitable for areas prone to hail or strong winds.

Polycarbonate is a popular modern alternative. It’s lightweight, durable, and offers better insulation than glass, making it more energy-efficient. It also comes in single, double, or triple layers, providing various levels of thermal protection.

Polyethylene Film is a budget-friendly option commonly used in commercial and temporary greenhouses. While not as durable as glass or polycarbonate, it’s affordable and easy to replace if damaged.

Ventilation and Temperature Control

Effective ventilation and temperature regulation are critical in maintaining a healthy growing environment inside the greenhouse. Greenhouse builders should consider installing both manual and automatic ventilation systems.

Roof vents and side vents allow hot air to escape during the summer, preventing the greenhouse from overheating. For optimal temperature control, automatic vent openers that react to temperature changes can be installed.

Heating Systems are also essential for cold climates. Depending on the size of the greenhouse and the local climate, you might choose between electric heaters, gas heaters, or even passive solar heating systems.

Foundation and Flooring Options

A solid foundation is vital to ensure your greenhouse remains stable and protected from moisture. Many builders opt for a concrete or brick foundation, which provides excellent durability and stability. However, if you're building a smaller or temporary greenhouse, a wooden or gravel foundation can also be effective.

For flooring, greenhouse builders often choose materials that promote good drainage. Gravel, concrete, or even specialized greenhouse tiles allow for proper water runoff, preventing mold and mildew from developing.

Sustainability Considerations

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in greenhouse building. Many modern greenhouse builders are incorporating eco-friendly materials and technologies. polytunnel australia For example, rainwater harvesting systems, solar panels, and energy-efficient insulation can reduce the environmental impact and operational costs of the greenhouse. By choosing sustainable materials and systems, greenhouse builders can create structures that are both efficient and environmentally friendly.
