How does it work?
Solar panels mounted on your roof collect sunlight and convert it via an inverter into standard household electricity. If excess electricity is produced the surplus is fed back into the power grid and credited against your bill. If your home requires more electricity, it is supplied from the grid in the usual manner.
How much power will it provide?
Solar power systems will produce approximately 4 - 6 units of power, per kW of panels when averaged over a year. Weather conditions, roof orientation (e.g. north facing) and shading can all effect system output.

A typical energy efficient household in Perth can use between 8 and 10kW per day. Use in some homes can be much higher. This can be reduced via other measures such as using energy-efficient light globes, using off-peak tariffs (e.g. Synergy Smartpower) etc. Solarkings will look at your energy use and suggest ways of saving power in your home
If you are not sure how much power you are using, check a recent Synergy account. Under the graph on the right hand side of your bill will be the average daily "units" of power used by your home. You may want to completely cover, or just reduce your bill with solar power. Talk to us about which size system will suit your energy use and your budget.
