What is a grid feed Solar power system? Major benefits of grid feed solar power?
  How does it work? Conergy 1KW Panels (6) and WR 1700 Inverter
  • 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.

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.
 Now: Conergy SunEasy 1.5KW Panels (9) and WR 1700 Inverter
  • 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: Conergy SunEasy 2 - 2KW Panels (12) and Conergy WR 2300 Inverter

  • 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 Conergy SunEasy 2 - 2KW Panels (28) and Conergy WR 5900 Inverter

  • 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.
