Choosing the right system
Before embarking on solar energy, there are 5 things to consider when choosing the size of your system and the type of panels that best meet your requirements.
- Your demand – How much do you use because the more electricity you demand, the larger the system required.
- Your budget – This may create limits on the size of the system.
- Your location – Is the main electricity grid available? How much would it cost to bring power out to your property and pay for ongoing maintenance of poles and cables on your property?
- Aspect – There needs to be sufficient space on your roof for the mounting of north-facing solar panels.
- Rebates – The amount of state and federal government rebates will vary so it is advisable to enquire before purchasing.
