Solar panels capture and convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. This is then fed to the inverter, which converts the DC electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity. AC electricity is what powers your lights, air conditioning, and other electric appliances.
Feed-in tariffs
A feed-in tariff pays you for electricity generated by your solar PV system.
- Under a net feed-in tariff, a premium is paid for any solar energy that goes back into the grid from your house. So if you have surplus energy generated by your solar panels, you get paid for it; and if you use all of the energy you generate it will be offset against your normal electricity bill.
- Under a gross feed-in tariff you get paid for every unit of electricity generated by your solar panels, regardless of whether it goes into the grid or is used by your household.
An optimal home solar power system custom to your home will be designed and installed for you by a Solar Megamart Clean Energy Council accredited installer.Cont...
