Solar power taps into the sun’s energy mainly through photovoltaic (PV) panels, which turn sunlight into electricity. Here’s a breakdown of the process
Sunlight Absorption
PV panels capture solar radiation, with the cells absorbing the energy from photons.
System Capacity
A larger solar setup typically generates more energy.
Purchase vs. Lease
Your choice to buy or lease the system will affect overall savings.
Sunlight Availability
The number of direct sunlight hours your location receives is crucial for energy production.
Roof Attributes
The size and pitch of your roof can influence the efficiency of your solar system.
By considering these elements, homeowners can realize significant reductions in their monthly electricity expenses.
Enhanced Property Value
Installing solar panels can boost your home's market value, similar to a kitchen remodel or adding a finished basement. Research, including a study from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has shown that solar energy systems can increase a home's value by about $15,000 on average. Although factors such as local electricity prices and system size may vary this premium, homes with solar installations often command higher prices than those without.
Solar Potential Across Regions
Australia is blessed with vast solar resources. Remarkably, just one hour of peak summer sunlight has the potential to meet the entire country's annual electricity needs. Most regions, including Victoria, enjoy excellent solar conditions. Even areas with less sunlight, such as the Pacific Northwest, can achieve cost savings similar to countries like Germany, which have well-developed solar power systems.
Positive Environmental Impact
Choosing solar energy greatly contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2 and other harmful pollutants such as sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. Moreover, solar power lowers water usage and withdrawal, making it an environmentally responsible energy choice.
