About Grid Feed Solar Power Systems

What is a grid feed Solar power system?

How does it work?

• Sunlight hits the solar modules, generating electricity.
• The electricity is fed into an inverter which converts it to 240v that is normally available in your home.
• This electricity is used to run your home appliances.
• The surplus is sold back to the electricity grid for use by other consumers.

  Where do I start and what do I get?

How does the clean electricity help?

• All your power generated will reduce the power needed to be sourced from coal fired generators this saves aprox 1.1 kilos of carbon per kw.
• So you will save in excess of 2600 kilos of carbon dioxide being released into the environment each year.
  
• Federal rebate: you can now claim up to $8000 for any new domestic installation. Now subject to a means test!
• Grid feed rebate: you currently get 1: 1 rebate for any power generated by your solar system when sold back to country energy.

We have a large range of batteries available from Federal, Battery Energy, Remco, Gel-Tech, and Optima. Voltage capacities range between 2, 4, 6 and 12Volts. Some of the most popular models include: Sonnenschein (pictured left), Exide Energystore Batteries, BP PV-stOr Vented Lead acid Batteries, Concorde Sun-Xtender Valve regulated Lead acid Batteries, Latronics and Xantrex Battery Chargers.

Mounting Systems
Conergy mounting systems meet the highest requirements with regard to technology, aesthetic appearance and quality. The systems are made of aluminium and special steel which guarantees high durability and complete recyclability.

Major benefits of grid feed solar power?

:
Now

• Be part of the solution not the problem.
• Generate clean electricity - for your home as well as other users (when it’s sold back to country energy).
• A 1kw/h system generates one kw for each hour of sunlight it is exposed to. If the average sunlight hours are 6.5 a day then you will generate 2372.5 kws of clean electricity a year for up to 25 years.
• That’s in excess of 59,000 kw of clean electricity over the life of the system.

 
The Future - Grid feed rebates:

• Currently country energy is offering a 1:1 rebate (this means they will refund you at the same rate as you pay them for your electricity).
• South Australia has already moved to offer clean power generators a 2:1 rebate for all the clean power they generate - this means that you will get twice as much for your clean power as you pay for the coal generated power you buy from them. We believe it will be a matter of time before our power suppliers move to match this.
• When our power company moves to a 2:1 grid feed rebate your rebate will double on a monthly basis, this could then make it worth your while to reassess if it makes good sense to upgrade the system to a larger one.

New Technology - PV Panels

• There is a lot of development going into building better panels, the systems we suggest are all based on a modular structure and can be added to at a later date.
• This means that your current panels will still be able to continue to generate clean power and they can be joined by the newer technology at a later date with no detrimental effects to what is there.
• When the new panels are available the major benefits will only get better - cheaper panels or greater power per panel means the math will just improve.
