Solar Power Perth

The idea behind solar power is to use sunlight to create energy through solar panels. The energy harnessed can be turned into electricity to power your home. Or, you can use it to heat up air or fluids – like your swimming pool or hot water for your shower.

When looking at solar power, there are two main types of technology. These are solar photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal. At Renew Energy, we are able to apply both technologies into a single system, allowing you to generate heat and electricity.

Solar Power Technology

Solar power technology falls under two main branches.

Solar thermal technology converts solar radiation into heat (thermal energy). This is most commonly used to heat hot water systems or for spatial heating. It can also be used to create electricity with steam or turbines.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight into electricity directly through photovoltaic cells. Solar PV technology is very versatile. It can be installed on rooftops or incorporated into vehicle or building designs. Solar PV technology can also be applied at a larger scale in power plants and commercial facilities.

Solar battery storage systems have allowed solar power to become even more efficient and clean. At Renew Energy, we can utilize all types of solar technology to find the ideal solution for your needs.

Solar Power In Australia

Australia has the highest concentration of solar radiation per square metre of all the continents. We also have some of the top solar resources, with seriously high solar radiation in the desert areas.

Australia receives an annual average of 58 million petajoules of solar radiation! This is about 10,000 times larger than its total energy consumption per year. What this means is that Australia’s use of solar power is MUCH lower than it could be.

So, get on board today to leverage the abundant solar radiation in Australia. With Renew Energy, you can easily reduce, if not eliminate, your electrical bills!

Solar panels consist of silicon cells, metal frames, a casing unit, and wiring. Silicone has excellent conductor properties. This allows it to absorb sunlight which can be converted to electricity.

First sunlight hits the silicon cells, and electrons in the silicone begin to move. This movement results in a flow of electric current (the PV effect). When this electrical current begins to flow, wires deliver it into a solar inverter. This converts the current into usable electricity.

Different Uses Of Solar Panels In Perth

Solar solutions in Perth allow you to achieve many different things. The most obvious use is generating electricity at either a residential or commercial level.

Solar power is an excellent solution for remote, off-grid areas. It allows you to generate an independent supply of electricity and heat water no matter how far away from the city you are. You can also get fully portable solar panels and solar batteries that allow you to take electricity with you wherever you go.

Solar power is absolutely worthwhile for any homeowner. Especially in Perth, where we experience so much sunshine, you can use solar panels to generate a consistent stream of energy.

First of all, solar panels add plenty of additional value to your home. Today, they come in sleek,  versatile design styles that can easily fit into the design of your home without sticking out.

Even if you’re not looking to increase the resale value of your home, solar panels offer your own supply of free energy. There’s simply no downside! If you’re ready to take the leap, give us a call today.

Solar power is an obvious choice for anyone in Perth WA. The year-round sunlight lets you access a consistent supply of sustainable energy!

Renewable energy

Solar power is a truly renewable energy source. Sunlight will never run out! Compared to generating power through fossil fuels, there is no limit to what you can achieve with solar.

Lowers the cost of your electricity bill

When you install a solar system into your home in Perth, you don’t have to pay for the energy it generates. Installing a solar system can result in massive electrical savings over the long run. The amount of electricity that you save depends on the size of your Perth solar power system and what electrical uses it will cover.

Solar offers diverse uses

The opportunities for harnessing solar power are endless. As technology and innovation progress, so does the scope of solar power use. You can use solar power to create heat and electricity. It can be utilised anywhere and is a perfect solution for off-grid locations as well.

Low maintenance costs

The cost of installing a solar panel system pays itself off fairly quickly. Once the initial installation cost is covered, solar panels require very little (if any) maintenance. These solar systems are durable and are built to last. There are no moving parts involved, and you will only need to replace the inverter after about 5 to 10 years.

If you choose Renew Energy to handle your solar power system, we can also take control over any maintenance work required. We offer full warranties too, so your solar panel investment is covered if anything goes wrong. Get in touch with us to find out more.
