What is Solar Energy?
Our sun is our endless energy source. With solar power generated using solar panels, we can harness the natural power of our sun to provide free, low-cost energy with very little impact on the world around us. Solar power can also be used to heat your home or create hot water using thermal conductive units.How do Solar Panels Work?

What is Photovoltaic Array?
A photovoltaic array is a system of connected photovoltaic cells, also know as a solar panel. Photovoltaic cells are composed of a semi-conductive substrate such as silicon (glass), impregnated with highly-conductive phosphorus and boron. When exposed to daylight, the conductive elements activate electrons to move across the array, creating electricity, which is then siphoned off and converted into safe, clean power for your home or business.Why Should I Go Solar?
Solar power is a clean, reliable source of energy for your home or business. Installing solar panels on your
How to Convert my House or Business to Solar?

What is a Building Integrated Photovoltaic Product?
A Building integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) product is a solar power component designed to be built into a new construction. There are a wide and exciting array of these products available, taking such forms as windows, roof tiles, and photovoltaic wall panels. Some companies are even looking into the technology needed to create photovoltaic highways and driveways, though these are still primarily in the development and testing phase at the current moment.How Long Do Solar Panel Last?

Will Solar Power Keep My Lights On in a Blackout?
There are a variety of solar power systems to suit a variety of needs. Provided you have a battery backup bank connected to your solar array and inverter, your solar panels can provide you with electricity if the local utility company can’t. Many solar panel systems are required to have anti-islanding protection which shuts them down in the event of a power outage to avoid sending current through a line that may be under repair by workers, but with the correct solar panel services and setup you can provide your home or business with clean, reliable energy at the flip of a switch.Will My Solar Panel Blow Away in High Wind?
No. Provided your solar array has been properly installed, there is no danger of it being blown away or damaged by inclement weather. While a falling tree-branch could potentially damage your array, the panels available on the market today have been thoroughly engineered to withstand high winds and heavy rain.For more solar FAQs visit our blog for latest solar energy news and updates in Australia.
