Solar Panels Townsville

Solar panels come with a 10 year manufacturing warranty and a 25 year linear performance guarantee, this means their performance percentage will decrease over time. This doesn’t mean you have to replace them after 25 years as the output could still be performing sufficiently. The brand and quality of the panel will depend on when you need to replace them. However, if there is any significant decrease in performance during your 25 year performance guarantee, they will be replaced under warranty by the manufacturer. 

Most Lithium-Ion battery storage comes with a 10 year warranty, however the standard life expectancy of a battery system is 6000 cycles, which equals around 15 years. However, the technology of the battery cells and how they have been utilised will determine how long he battery will actually last and every household is different – although 15 years is based on an average of 1 cycle per day.

In short, Yes! However, it does depend on what you want to run in your house as to how much storage you will need.
As a very basic explanation: 1KWH equals 1000W so if your home is consuming 500W for a whole hour, your battery is going to last 2 hours at that consumption rate (in a nut shell). 

It doesn’t cost anything if you don’t want it to! We do provide the option of a maintenance agreement which entails a yearly fee, however, your online monitoring is free of charge for the life of the system and you always have access to it while your inverter is connected to your home Wi-Fi (which we connect for you when we commission the system). We recommend you clean your panels every 12 months, especially if you live in a rural or dusty area as you can get a build up of dirt on your panels, but the natural rain will clean your panels for you. If you do choose to clean them, a microfiber cloth or a soft ended broom will do the trick! 

Yes! Definitely, that is our goal. How we achieve that for each customer is unique and based over a 12 month period – as we base your system size over 12 months of consumption. Battery storage is the way to go to zero your power bill, as that is what covers your night time consumption. We all know solar only works during the day, so any excess power your system creates during the day, is stored in your battery storage and when the sun goes down the storage kicks in and powers your home over night!
