Benefits of Installing Solar Panels

As one of the most popular forms of renewable energy in Australia and, indeed the world, solar panels bring with them a whole range of benefits. We’ve outlined some of the most popular ones below.

Reduced Electricity Bills

While there is an upfront investment cost associated with the installation of solar panels, investing in solar power inevitably leads to a major reduction in your electricity bills! A chunk of your energy needs will now be supplied by energy from the sun. In most cases these energy savings effectively "pay off" your solar system in a relatively short period of just a few years, after which you will be enjoying virtually ‘free’ energy.

Low Maintenance Costs

In general, once your solar panels have been installed, maintenance costs are low. The only regular maintenance that really needs to be done is keeping the solar panels clean, and this is relatively easy to do. Regarding parts replacement, the only major solar part that you should keep an eye on is the inverter, and even then, this only needs to be replaced on average every ten years or so.

Solar Developments are Ongoing

Renewable energy continues to be a massive source of research for companies around the world, at Mackies we’re staying abreast of the latest solar developments. This means whenever you choose to install solar from us, you’ll be getting some of the latest and best technologies available.

Australia is Ideal for Solar

One of the best advantages of living here in sunny Australia is …....well, just that! Across many months of the year, Aussies enjoy glorious sunshine, meaning we have massive potential when it comes to solar power generation. Many households will be in a great position to harness the sunshine for many hours each day, especially during the summer months, making solar a great investment for Aussies.

Solar Panels can give you cheap Hot Water

Contrary to popular belief, solar panels are not limited to just a singular use. In reality, solar panels can be used to generate both electricity and HEAT by adding a CATCH Power module.

Did you know that over 60% of your home electricity usage can chewed up just for hot water?

With CATCH Power technology with your solar system, you will be able to divert your excess solar energy to heat your hot water. This can save you hundreds, even thousands of dollars each, and every year. This keeps your water hot for next to nothing, while saving you a bucketload on off-peak power used. Catch Power is Australian Made, with a 5-year warranty, and easily adapts to virtually any solar system.

Minimising your Carbon Footprint

Harnessing solar power isn't just about generating electricity; it's a powerful way to slash carbon dioxide emissions by an impressive 6,600kg and decrease standard coal consumption by 2,640kg annually (based on a standard 6.6kW home system).

What's more, this eco-friendly initiative is equivalent to planting nearly 400 trees a year!

Not only does a solar system lead to significant savings on your energy bills, but it also plays a pivotal role in reducing your carbon footprint, contributing to the well-being of our precious planet.

The long term durable design of your Mackies Solar System means you will be winning year after year, after year. Want to know more?

Solar Panel Technology & Innovation

As solar energy continues to evolve, advancements in solar panel technology have made it more efficient, affordable, and accessible than ever. Whether you are considering solar panels in Taree for your home or business, understanding the latest solar innovations can help you maximise energy savings and sustainability. Here are different solar panel types and how they contribute to long-term energy efficiency.

High-Efficiency Solar Panels: Maximising Your Investment

High-efficiency solar panels are designed to capture more sunlight and convert it into usable electricity, making them ideal for homes and businesses looking to reduce energy costs and reliance on the grid. These panels utilise advanced photovoltaic (PV) technology to increase efficiency rates, ensuring you get the most out of your solar investment.

Monocrystalline vs Polycrystalline Panels

Monocrystalline panels are made from a single crystal structure, allowing electrons to move more freely, resulting in higher efficiency rates. They are recognised for their sleek black appearance and superior performance in low-light and high-temperature conditions.

On the other hand, polycrystalline panels are made from multiple silicon crystals, making them slightly less efficient but more affordable. They have a distinctive blue appearance and are an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a cost-effective solar power solution in Taree.

Thin-Film Solar Panels: A Lightweight Alternative

Thin-film solar panels offer a flexible and lightweight alternative to traditional rigid panels. Unlike monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels, thin-film panels are made using deposited photovoltaic material onto a surface such as glass, plastic, or metal, allowing for a sleeker, more adaptable design.

Why Get A Commercial Solar System?

There are a number smart reasons for installing commercial solar.

Commercial solar is economical. The price of solar power has dropped dramatically, while electricity prices have skyrocketed.

Chances are the electricity price hikes will continue. Commercial solar can have a repayment time of less than three years after which, the electricity you generate is essentially free. With solar panels having a serviceable life of several decades, this translates to a huge reduction in your medium-to-long-term operational costs and enhances business sustainability.

There can also be some significant tax advantages by installing solar for small businesses, through depreciation of the infrastructure. We recommend confirming these details with your financial advisor.
