Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity which is in DC (Direct Current) form, the Inverter converts the DC electricity to AC (Alternative Current) which can then be used in your home or business. Solar energy will offset your daytime energy needs, so it is important to ensure the system is sized correctly as oversizing a system can lead to a longer payback period

This depends on several factors, such as how much electricity you use, your load profile (how and when you use electricity), available roof space and how much you are willing to invest. You can contact one of our experts who will be able to tailor a system to suit your needs and maximise your return on investment.

STC’s are only eligible for systems below 100KW. The value of STC’s in based on your system size ad location, this amount is then deducted from the total system cost.

For systems greater than 100KW’s you may be able to benefit from LGC’s (Large Scale Generation Certificates), these certificates are created on a yearly basis and the value is dependant on the system size and location.

A feed in tariff is credit that you receive from your electricity retailer for any excess energy you produce that is not used and sent back to the grid.

In most cases, getting solar power will help reduce your electricity bills in two ways. First, through reducing the amount of power you buy from the grid, and through the feed-in-tariff you receive for excess power you sell to the grid. The amount of electricity you save will depend upon a range of factors including the size of the system, whether the system has been installed in the optimal location and your individual electricity use patterns.

“We just had Citipower come out to do the final check on the solar system. They were extremely complimentary about the quality of the installation. It just supports our view on the workmanship of the team that installed the system.”

“I was referred to Elite Solar Pro by a family friend and have absolutely no qualms in furthering the recommendation process. When it came to solar, I found Paul Mc Cabe to be a virtual well of information which was highly appreciated. He was quick to respond in both, providing relevant information and meeting on site to touch base. The installation process was over a three day timeline due to the number of panels and I can only commend the team on their diligence during this period especially as two of those days were extremely hot (but hey, what a way to get a tan!).
Many thanks to Paul and the team from Elite Solar Pro – keep up the fantastic work.”
