Why Use Solar Power?
Solar power usage has been on the rise in Canberra, and for a good reason! Solar power is a technology that can be applied to many things. At its most basic level, it converts sunlight into electricity, but there are different types of solar power for each application.
One common way to use solar power in Canberra is through Solar Panels which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electrical energy using semiconducting materials such as silicon. This DC energy can then be converted into alternating current (AC) with an inverter which makes it usable in your home. Or the DC energy directly powers devices without having to go via an inverter as you would typically do with household appliances that require AC electricity.
Another popular and very useful application of solar power in Canberra is for hot water. Many homesteads use hot water for many things, including cooking, cleaning and bathing. By using Solar Hot Water Systems in air-conditioned homes, you can use free energy from the sun to provide hot water for your home, which helps lower household energy bills.

How does solar power work?
Solar panels are made of many individual cells which convert sunlight into energy, this is known as the photovoltaic effect or PV for short. Electricity is produced when direct sunlight excites the electrons within the semiconductor material inside each cell.
The electricity that these cells produce must be converted from DC current to AC using an inverter before it can be used to power appliances in your house or business. An AC adapter that is connected to a regular outlet will provide you with access to power, while excess energy will be sent to your home’s electrical grid.
Why using solar power in Canberra is the best option
By using solar power in Canberra, one can be able to reduce their electricity bills. More importantly, solar panels are environmentally friendly and do not emit greenhouse gases.
Using solar power in Canberra is the best option because it reduces carbon emissions into the atmosphere. It also has no operating costs, which mean that you don’t need to spend money every month on fuel. In addition, one does not require a large piece of land to set up a plant for generating solar energy because it works well with rooftops. Therefore, if you are thinking of installing green technology around your home or office, then make sure you go for Solar Power Canberra.
How Much do Solar Panels Cost?
The cost incurred when installing solar panels depends on various factors. These include the size of your home, how much energy you use and the technology used to generate that energy. The cost has come down considerably since they first hit the market, but it still isn’t cheap, although before long, they will be as widespread as gas hot water systems are now.
The bulk of your costs will depend on how efficient your panels are, their capacity (in kilowatts), and how many panels make up your array. You can expect to pay anywhere between $2k – $12k per kW for a system with most falling in the lower price range due to high demand and low availability of certain technologies like Cadmium Telluride which is currently ruling this market segment at roughly double what standard panels are selling for.
How long does solar installation take?
The installation process does not take a lot of time and can be done within a day. However, you cannot expect the solar panels to generate power the same day or even during that week because it takes some time for them to produce optimum energy. During this period of time, you will be required to use your normal electricity supplier, who may charge you money for using their services.
