Questions For Us
Some General Question?
How do solar panels actually work?
Solar panels (or photovoltaic, PV, cells) convert sunlight directly into DC (Direct Current) electricity. This DC electricity is then fed into an inverter, which changes it into AC (Alternating Current) electricity—the type of power used by your home appliances and the national grid. This process happens silently and continuously whenever the sun is shining.
How much does a typical solar system cost?
The cost varies significantly based on your home’s energy needs, the system size (kW), the quality of the components (Tier 1 vs. standard), and whether a battery storage solution is included. However, solar is an investment. The upfront cost is offset by the substantial savings on electricity bills and various government incentives available in regions like Australia, the UK, and New Zealand.
How long does the installation process usually take?
Once your design and permits are approved, the physical installation typically takes just 1 to 3 days for a standard residential system. The total timeline, including initial site assessment, customized system design, and obtaining necessary local permissions, usually spans a few weeks. Auster Solar manages all permitting paperwork for you.
Do solar panels still work when it's cloudy or raining?
Yes, they do. Solar panels generate power using daylight, not just direct sunshine. While efficiency decreases on heavily overcast days, your system will still produce a usable amount of electricity. This is why system sizing is crucial; our experts design your system to account for regional weather patterns.
What kind of maintenance is required for a solar system?
Solar systems require very little maintenance. Most high-quality panels are self-cleaning due to rain. We recommend an annual visual inspection and a professional clean or check-up every few years to ensure peak performance. Auster Solar ACT provides detailed care guides and offers maintenance plans.
Are there any government incentives, grants, or rebates available?
Yes. All three regions (Australia, the UK, and New Zealand) offer various incentives, grants, or schemes (like Australia’s STCs, the UK’s Export Guarantee, or local NZ grants) to encourage solar adoption. These programs change frequently. Our team specializes in navigating these complex schemes to ensure you maximize all available financial benefits and rebates for your system.
How long do modern Tier 1 solar panels last?
Modern Tier 1 solar panels are built to last. Most panels come with a performance guarantee of 25 years, ensuring they will still operate at over 80% of their original efficiency after two and a half decades. In reality, most panels continue to produce energy long after this warranty period expires.
Do I need to install a battery with my solar panels?
A battery (like a Powerwall or similar storage unit) is optional but highly recommended. Without a battery, any excess energy generated during the day is sent back to the grid. A battery stores this surplus energy, allowing you to power your home at night, during power outages, or when electricity tariffs are high, maximizing your energy independence and savings.
