Solar Panel Repairs – Why Buy Solar Panels?

Image
Solar panels are a great way to save on electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint. They also add value to your home or business. Domestic roof-top solar installations are rising due to a rise in energy costs and government subsidies that encourage households to make the switch to renewables. Reduce your electricity bills The sun’s free energy is an excellent source of power for your home or business. With the right system, you can significantly reduce your electricity bills in Newcastle. Moreover, solar panels can increase the value of your property and help you save money in the long run. Unless you live completely off the grid, which is rare and expensive in Newcastle, you’ll receive an electricity bill from the utility company every month. That’s because your utility company charges various services on top of electricity prices, which are charged regardless of how much electricity you consume. Many of these utility charges include meter readings, customer service, bill...

Battery Recycling in Newcastle NSW

Image
Battery recycling Battery waste should never be placed in household bins and should instead be dropped into dedicated recycling containers. You can find these at many Australian retailers including Aldi supermarkets. Any brand of AA, AAA, C, and D (rechargeable and non-rechargeable) batteries can be recycled. If a battery has lead wires, they should be covered with sticky tape to avoid fires. Deep Cycle Batteries Deep cycle batteries, used in solar power systems, are designed for frequent cycling (discharge and recharge) to maximise their lifespan. These batteries are also more efficient at storing energy than conventional lead-based batteries. Regularly check the water levels in flooded lead-acid batteries and add distilled water if needed. Keep them away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid overcharging your battery as this can damage it and shorten its lifespan. Batteries can also be damaged if they are charged at too high a voltage, causing hydrogen gas produc...

The Benefits of Solar Power Systems

Image
More than two million Australian households have invested in solar energy systems. This is the result of a growing movement to become independent from extortionate mains electricity prices. Newcastle homes can enjoy sizeable savings with a roof-mounted solar power system. This technology also changes the balance of the coal-fired grid from a one-way user based system to a contributor based one. Reduced Electricity Bills Solar energy systems can reduce your dependence on mains electricity. With rooftop solar panels, you can produce more power than you need, and if the excess isn’t used, it is sent back to the grid where it’s recorded through a net metering system (similar to a bank account). The credit that you receive for this is added to your energy bill at the end of the month. This method of energy production also allows you to take advantage of feed-in tariffs if offered by your local electricity provider. These can vary, but typically range from 8 to 13 cents per kWh of energ...
