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 leads to a major reduction in your electricity bills as a chunk of your energy needs will now be supplied by the energy generated from the sun. In most cases ultimately paying your solar system off, 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 needs to be done is keeping them clean, and this is relatively easy to do. Regarding part replacement, the only solar panel part that you should keep an eye on is the inverter – and even then, this only needs to be replaced on average every 5-10 years.
Solar Panel Developments are Ongoing
Renewable energy continues to be a massive source of investment for companies and scientists around the world, meaning that we’re continuing to develop the latest and best technologies for harnessing the rays of the sun for energy. This means that, whenever you choose to install solar panels, you’ll be getting the latest and best technologies available.
Australia is Ideal for Solar
One of the best advantages of living here in sunny Australia is that…well, just that! Across many months of the year, we enjoy glorious sunshine, meaning we have massive potential when it comes to solar power. Many households will be in a great position to harness the sunshine for many hours during the summer months, making solar panels a great investment in Australia.
Solar Panels Can Be Used for Multi-Purpose Applications
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 be just for hot water? With CATCH Power technology, using your solar system you will be able to divert your excess solar energy produced to heat your hot water, saving you hundreds (possibly thousands) of dollars each and every year. This keeps your water hot for next to nothing, while saving you a chunk on off-peak power used. Catch Power is Australian Made with a 5-year warranty, and easily adapts to virtually any solar system.
Minimise Your Carbon Footprint with Solar Energy
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 the environmental impact of planting a substantial 356 trees!
Not only does a residential 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 shared environment.
Solar panels offer a distinct advantage: the ability to generate energy virtually anywhere. This feature is especially beneficial in remote areas where access to electricity may be limited. In such cases, a hybrid system combining solar panels and battery storage becomes an invaluable source of reliable energy.

Our commercial solar energy systems are custom-designed to suit individual business needs. We deliver solar installations on time and budget.
Our commercial solar division designs and installs solar panel based photovoltaic (PV) power systems on the rooftops of businesses, schools and community organisations across the Mid North Coast.
Anyone with a large roof space could reap the rewards of a commercial-scale solar power system. Your roof space will need to be in good condition, without obstructions or shade, and preferably north-facing.
There are a number of economic, social and environmental reasons for installing commercial solar.
Commercial solar is economical. The price of solar power has dropped dramatically, while electricity prices have skyrocketed. We believe the price hikes will continue. Commercial solar can have a repayment time of less than 3 years after which time, 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 business sustainability.
There can also be some significant tax advantages by installing solar for small businesses, through depreciation of the infrastructure. We recommend confirming the details with your financial advisor.
When it comes to commercial solar systems, we are always assessing value for money based on long-term performance. We work with some of the world’s leading suppliers of componentry to achieve desired outcomes. Our design and installation teams are both experienced and accredited, enabling us to have a broad scope of capabilities in the design, planning and installation phases of commercial solar projects.
Some of our recent commercial solar installation projects include:

We service Port Macquarie, Taree, the greater Mid North Coast and surrounding areas.
All citizens are eligible to have solar panels installed, rebates are available dependent on the size of the solar array.
The best solar systems use high quality components installed to the manufacturer’s specification and be sized according to the customer’s energy requirements.
Solar panels save you money by supplying your home with energy instead of buying it from the grid, it has the added benefit of exporting excess energy to build a credit against your account.
