How Solar Works

Solar power is harnessed using Photovoltaic Technology that converts solar radiation into electricity using semiconductors. When the sunlight hits the semiconductors of Photovoltaic (P.V.) cells, electrons are freed, and the bus bars collect these free electrons, convert and collect them in the form of Electric Current.
#
When we place the solar panels connected in a calculated manner to effectively absorb the sunlight, they start producing current and voltage in the form of Direct Current (D.C.). The solar panels are connected to an inverter that converts Direct Current (D.C.) into Alternating Current (A.C.), a ready form of electricity accepted by electronic equipment.
#
A conductive wire carts the AC electricity from the inverter to the electric panel on the property into the breaker box, distributing the electricity throughout the building as needed. Upon generation, any unused electricity flows through the utility meter and into the electrical utility grid.

Plug in to a brighter tomorrow

Thousands of Australians are choosing to go Solar in their homes and business. Why? Because it's an intelligent choice!
Solar electricity can power households, commercial and industrial premises and provides the same power generated from fossil fuels, wind & hydro. People are motivated to go solar for different reasons and outcomes. Explore the many benefits of Going Green with Going Solar.

Huge Savings on Energy Bills

You save by eliminating electricity usage and using energy generated by the Sun. Savings on energy bills kicks into high gear once you've cut enough in electricity bills to recoup the installation cost.

Reduce Carbon Emissions

The electricity produced from solar has no greenhouse gases whatsoever, which helps to reduce the effect of climate change. Solar power is pollution-free and a renewable source of energy.

Readily Available

Solar produces renewable, clean power available every day; even on cloudy days, some energy can be synthesized.

Add Value to your Home

You can expect an increase in retail value of your home at just under $6000 per kilowatt of solar energy. This means if you install 5kW worth of solar panels, it could add an additional $29,000 onto its current price!

Feed-in Tariffs

If you have a grid-connected solar system, power produced must be immediately used, or it will feed into the shared electricity grid for other properties to use.

Low Maintenance

With little maintenance, twice-yearly cleaning, solar panels will perform at optimum levels for up to 25 years.

Affordable

Generous government rebates, interest-free loans, and other incentives are available to help with upfront costs.

Sustainable Living

Clean, renewable energy is the way of our future. Every solar panel installed is helping to build a more sustainable future for generations to come.

How do solar incentives and rebates work?

Solar Victoria is providing a rebate of up to $1,400 for solar panel (P.V.) system installation for homeowners and rental properties, plus the option of an interest-free loan. See scheduled rebate release dates. To further reduce installation costs, householders can apply for an interest-free loan for an amount equivalent to their rebate amount. The loan must be repaid over four years or can be repaid sooner in one lump sum.

Victorian households are eligible to receive a rebate for installing a solar P.V. system if they meet the following criteria:

  • they are the owner-occupier of the property
  • the owners have a combined household taxable income of less than $210,000 per year (based on last year's Australian Tax Office Notice of Assessment)
  • they have not already received a rebate as an owner-occupier under the Solar Homes Program
  • it is an existing property, valued at under $3 million
  • that the property address has not previously taken part in the Solar Homes Program
  • they do not have an existing solar P.V. system*.

Once you're confident that your property fits the eligibility criteria, you should start researching solar retailers who are authorized to participate in the Program and can meet your energy needs.

Future Of Solar

“Australia’s 3 million rooftop solar installations are reducing Australia’s emissions by over 17.7 million tonnes in 2021 and will only increase in the future. More than 1 in 4 houses and many non-residential buildings have installed small-scale rooftop solar,” Minister Taylor.

Australia will meet its 2030 target through policies built on the proven Direct Action approach, which improve productivity, reduce costs and drive innovation—such as the Emissions Reduction Fund, its Safeguard Mechanism, and other complementary policies. Australia is also playing a significant role through practical actions to reduce emissions and improve the environment in the Asia-Pacific and partnership with other countries.

Going Solar is working to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals by providing reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity with solar power to every household and industry in Australia. We are contributing our part to deliver significant emissions reductions. The Government is implementing a suite of Direct Action policies, including the $2.55 billion Emissions Reduction Fund and Safeguard Mechanism. The world-leading Emissions Reduction Fund has already purchased 47 million tonnes of emissions reductions.
