Compare Solar Systems

STANDARD GRID CONNECTION

These comprise of an inverter, rail, panels, isolators and are connected back to the energy provider i.e. Ergon Energy for most Central Queensland users. This system is designed for a normal domestic or small business situation. Grid connected systems are the most commonly used as they have been around for the longest period of time and have a wide range of parts designed for easy installation. They are usually cheaper as well because of their simplistic nature to install and government rebate at present.

TIGO & SolarEdge INCORPORATED GRID CONNECTED SYSTEM

These systems are designed for domestic customers who want to know more about what their solar system is creating and all business types large and small. These systems are very similar to a standard grid connect system with some very useful added features. The extra benefits of an incorporated system far outweighs the extra costs that are associated with installing one. The average customer will only pay an extra 15 – 25% more than a standard solar system depending on the size of the system installed. We currently offer SolarEdge installation, to find our more click here.

  • Minute by minute monitoring and data recording
  • Higher performance per panel
  • No shading issues for design or performance
  • Higher safety functions with individual panel isolation at ground level
  • Rapid response fault finding functions and maintenance
  • Internet is required

MICRO GRID CONNECTED SYSTEM

These systems are different in that each panel has its own micro inverter and not one main inverter for the entire system like the other options. This has many similar benefits to a Tigo or Solar Edge solar system with some slight differences.

This system is for domestic and small businesses also. Micro inverters have not been on the market as long as the other types of grid connected solar systems and as a result not as many people are installing them. Micro systems will cost more than a standard solar system and slightly less than a Tigo or SolarEdge solar system.

Sumec Phono Solar Diamond Dual Glass

The latest innovation from Sumec Phono Solar is the new Diamond Dual Glass Solar Panel. It’s the result of over 10 years of experience making panels for Australian Conditions.

Why is Dual Glass the answer? That’s easy. Solar Panels with lower grade, plastic backsheets have a history of failing in Australia because of moisture seeping in and damaging the cells. The Phono Diamond Dual Glass replaces the plastic back sheet with a second layer of toughened glass. 

Solar Panel Maintenance

Maximise Your Investment

One of the reasons that solar panels are such a good investment is that they require very little maintenance. With basic checks and cleaning 1-2 times a year, maintaining your solar panel system involves not much more than simply cleaning your solar panels and checking connections. Regular maintenance of your solar panel system should ensure: solar panels are clean, secure and free of defects.

We recognise that your system represents a significant investment in your future energy requirements and the importance for that investment to operate at its maximum efficiency. Regular maintenance of your solar PV system and its components is vital to protect your warranties and ensure that all components meet required safety and performance standards.

Did you know ‘Dirty Solar Panels’ lose up to 25% efficiency!

  • Maintain your investment
  • Ensure peak performance
  • Extend the life of your system
  • Maintain your manufacturer’s warranty
  • Save you money
