Solar power is a great solution that you definitely want it to stick around!

The solar panel lifespan of your solar system will depend on various factors. These include the local weather in your area, the quality of the panels you install, and how well they are maintained over time, to name a few. The good news is that, overall, solar power continues to be a worthwhile investment in Australia for both the environment and your pocket. That we know for sure.

5 Reasons To Choose A Solar Hot Water System | Solahart Brisbane South East

5 Reasons To Choose A Solar Hot Water System

  • Under : Solar Hot Water, Solar Power, Solar Servicing

Are you considering switching to a solar hot water system? If so, these 5 reasons to choose a solar hot water system is the perfect guide for you!

1. Reduce your Energy Bill
One of the biggest impacts that switching to solar products has is that it can significantly reduce your energy bill. Heating the water in your home is one of the most expensive aspects of powering your house, and a Brisbane solar hot water system can help reduce this burden.

Regardless of whether you use gas, electricity, or other fuel to heat your water, none of those options are free. With solar hot water, you have access to a portion of free hot water every day – and these savings will only continue to add up as time goes on.

Although the payback period will vary depending on the type of system that you choose and the size of your initial investment, the cost savings that you see on your energy bill will be immediate!

2. Protect the Environment
As we learn more about climate change and the impact that it has on our environment, the more important it is that we each do our part to protect it. Brisbane solar hot water heaters are a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.

Instead of using fossil fuels to heat your water, this environmentally friendly heating option can guarantee that you’re using renewable sources with zero emissions for your water heating needs.

Solar Panel Servicing: The Best Way to Increase Energy Production

  • Under : Solar Repairs, Solar Servicing, Uncategorized

Solar power servicing is a vital part of maintaining your solar panels. You installed them to improve the energy efficiency and production of your home, so you want to be sure that they are still working at top capacity!

The Clean Energy Council, or CEC, recommends that you have a solar servicing company check your system each year. This will confirm that your solar powers are fault free and operating at optimum performance.

Increase Your Energy Output
The primary reasons you need to hire a Brisbane solar power servicing company is to increase the energy production of your solar panels.

As time passes, dust and debris will begin to build on the solar panels installed on your roof. Not only could this compromise the energy production and performance of the solar panel system, but it could also cause damage that prevents them from working.

Other factors like moisture, water seepage, wind, hail, and rodents can also cause your solar panels to deteriorate.

When you invest in the best solar products like those offered by Solahart, you want to take care of them! Solar maintenance involves cleaning off this debris and ensuring that no significant damage has occurred that could compromise the panels.

As a result, solar servicing will increase the energy production of your panels by making sure they can absorb the most sunlight!

Ensure Your Solahart System is Working Effectively
Another reason you need routine solar maintenance is to ensure that the solar panel system is working effectively. Since these panels involve a complex electrical system, solar servicing also verifies that it is safe for everyone living inside the home.

A system that is not working effectively due to loose, frayed or cracked wiring could lead to inefficiencies and reduced energy production. Maintaining the panels maximises the cost savings you receive on your electric bill – so it is well worth the cost to service the system.

Think about your solar panels like any other appliance or vehicle – you would never go more than a year without servicing your car and cleaning it! In the same way, solar servicing is the best way to ensure that the panels continue to operate effectively and safely.

We Can Service Any System – or Help you Upgrade!
Solar power servicing is more than just cleaning off the panels, though. This is why at Solahart Brisbane, all of our expert electricians are CEC accredited and work to comply with all Australian standards.

Each technician will confirm that your solar panels are free of defects and securely fastened in place. They will inspect all parts and pieces to verify that none of them have corroded or deteriorated.

The same goes for the wiring – they will run electrical checks to be sure that everything is operating as intended, and that no defects are found in the switches.

Here are some other aspects of our solar power servicing:

– Check that all vents are clear of debris
– Secure all cables and fittings
– Validate that access to isolator switches are not impeded
– Make sure that emergency shutdown and isolation procedures are clearly labelled

Solahart Brisbane is dedicated to servicing any solar system – or helping you upgrade to a new one if the conditions are warranted! We only provide the best solar products, and we have over a decade of experience in the Brisbane South East area.

Whatever your solar power servicing needs are, we are here to help! Our experts will help you increase energy production and give you peace of mind that your solar panels are working as intended: safely and efficiently!


What To Do During A Crisis With Your Solar System

There are a lot of great Brisbane solar companies out there that provide Australians with solar products that help them save money. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of dodgy Brisbane solar companies out there looking to take your hard earned money and provide you with a cheap, nasty system as well.

What is even worse is the fact that there have been hundreds of Australians scammed by these dodgy solar companies, which don’t honour their products or warranties. This leaves the customer frustrated and left with a broken system that they either have to spend money on to repair or throw away. 

How to follow up the company 

If you have been the victim of a dodgy solar company there are a few things you can do to try and follow them up. First, try to call them on any number that they have. If they are answering none of them then go online and try to email them.

If you receive no response after trying to repeatedly contact them then check their credentials on ASIC. Here you will find whether the company is still in operation. Make sure to get all their details including their ABN and ACN for your records. If they are still in business, yet are avoiding your calls and emails lodge a complaint with the ACCC. They will help you try to resolve the issue at hand. 

What can you do if they go underground? 

A lot of dodgy solar companies will perform an illegal act called ‘phoenixing’. This is when they close one business under the owner’s name and start a fresh one under a new name, which could be their wife’s, child’s, or even their cousin’s name.

If the business you are chasing has done this, is no longer in operation or the ACCC can’t help then there may be no way for you to receive a free repair under warranty or a refund for your solar power or Brisbane solar hot water system. Therefore it is important to make sure that you never end up in this position where you lose thousands of dollars. 

How to prevent yourself from being scammed 

Preventing yourself from being scammed by dodgy Brisbane solar companies is easy. All you have to do is your research! The more you know the more you will be equipped to avoid those companies that are looking to scam you out of your hard earned money.

The first warning sign that there is a dodgy solar company is if it sounds to good to be true. It usually is and you will get what you pay for so make sure you avoid dirt cheap solar prices altogether.

Another thing to look out for is if the company doesn’t clearly answer your questions, can’t give you a detailed account of what you are spending or what you are using in electricity and if they can’t show you previous work that they have performed.

Reputable Brisbane solar companies, such as ourselves, will make sure you receive all this information and more. They will have been in business for more than 2 years, be a Brisbane CEC accredited solar company and provide trustworthy warranties you can rely on.

If you are wondering which Brisbane solar companies would be good for you ask your neighbours or a friend that has had solar for more than a few years. They will be able to tell you if their Brisbane solar company and the products they sell have been worthwhile.
