Asked Questions

Q. What are the benefits of solar panel installation?

A: Installing solar panels on your home or business can bring many benefits, including:

  • Financial savings on electricity bills
  • Reducing your carbon footprint and helping to combat climate change
  • Reducing reliance on fossil fuels
  • Access to feed-in tariffs and government rebates
  • Potential increases in property value
Q: What are solar panels?

A: Solar panels are revolutionary devices that can harness the sun’s energy and transform it into usable electricity, ideal for all types of settings – from homes to commercial businesses and industrial sites. These amazing gadgets possess photovoltaic cells which capture sunlight, transferring it into electrical energy. Plus, these reliable sources of renewable power come with different mounting systems suitable for any landscape. Ultimately, solar panels provide a sustainable way to generate clean electricity without fail.

Q: Is solar energy suitable for my area?

A: Solar energy is suitable for most areas across Australia due to the high number of sunny days throughout the year. However, depending on where you live and your home’s orientation, you may need to consider seasonal changes and shade from nearby trees when assessing how much energy you could generate with solar panels. Book a schedule with us to better asses your situation. On the day of your appointment, we’ll arrive on time to carry out an assessment of the site. This includes looking at the state of your roof, your power usage and bills, and any other factors that could affect the efficiency of your home solar system.

Q: How do I get started?

A: If you decide that installing a solar panel system is right for you, contact us and we will be providing an accurate assessment and quote based on your individual needs and circumstances. All our installers at Go Green Energy are accredited with the Clean Energy Council, so you can be sure you’re getting a solar system that will last for years to come.

Q: What are the benefits of having a solar battery?

A: Installing a solar battery can provide many benefits to your home or business. By investing in energy independence, you can take control of your electricity and disconnect from the public grid when needed. No longer do you have to depend on external forces for decisions about your power supply; now you are free to make wise choices that will be profitable.

Q: What is a solar battery and how does it work

A: If you’re searching for an efficient way to bring more sunshine into your life, Go Green Energy have got you covered. Our Lithium-ion batteries come in sizes ranging from 5 kWh to 20 kWh, giving you the precise energy storage capacity that meets your needs. Easily connect one of these batteries and start generating additional electricity that can be put back on the grid right away. Get started now and take advantage of this amazing opportunity today.

Q: Can solar panels cause fire?

A: Solar panels are completely safe when used correctly; however, they can contribute to fires in some cases.

This is most often the result of inadequate installation or defective components exacerbated by external factors such as lightning bolts. Fortunately, this risk can be significantly reduced with proper setup and maintenance – it is essential for your installers to validate their work and for you to ensure that your solar panel system is cared for properly.

Also, ground fault protections can avert DC wiring issues which might lead to a dangerous fire hazard.

Keeping this in mind, you should make sure that you select an accomplished service such as Go Green Energy to effectively install and configure your solar panels.

solar frequently asked questions
Q: What is the expected lifespan of a solar panel system?

A: The expected lifespan of a typical solar panel system is 25-30 years if it is installed correctly and regularly maintained. When you choose Go Green Energy to supply and install your Solar System, know you are in the safest hands. We use only the top-quality equipment from the industry’s leading manufactures. Backed with a 10 years of manufacture warranty.

Q: Are there any rebates available for installing a solar system?

A: Yes. The Australian Government offers rebates and incentives for households and businesses who choose to switch to a solar energy system. Depending on where you live, these could include feed-in tariffs (for generating excess electricity which can be sold back into the grid) as well as upfront discounts on installation costs. Check with your local government for more information on applicable programs in your area.
