Featured Reviews for Solar Power Contractors

Metta Energy
Solar Power Contractors
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 April 2018
“Metta Energy brought my vision for a sustainable home to life, especially when I knew very little about where to start this process of becoming more energy conscious. Metta were passionate about what they did and were incredibly professional along the way. I would highly recommend starting the conversation with them, if you are considering solar or batteries for your home.”
Mode Electrical
Solar Power Contractors
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 June 2017
“I presented Martin with a significant challenge; to design and install a power system for a new house which was to be totally off-grid (for all power, waste, and water) and genuinely emission free (either directly or indirectly), yet had all the appliances, convenience, and comfort expected of a modern home. As such, it would need to be all-electric, with no generator backup, and no use of gas, oil, coal, or wood for domestic hot water, heating, or cooking. And to make the task even more challenging, the system would have to be robust enough to withstand use by occupants using it for short term holiday rentals, who may have no interest in or understanding of how the electricity was supplied. In essence it had to be bullet proof, and functionally indistinguishable from a normal grid-connected dwelling. Plus, the system had to be maintenance free for at least ten years. Most renewable energy experts told me this was virtually impossible, especially through a cold, wet Tasmanian winter, and hadn’t been done before in this sort of climate. However, with the assistance of a house designed to exceed German Passivhaus energy-efficiency standards, Martin met the challenge, designing and installing a system which so far has exceeded expectations. The house can be viewed at www.greensbeachsolarhome.com.au”
Infinite Energy
Solar Power Contractors
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 March 2015
“We decided to install a solar power setup when we bought our town-house and after hunting around the web for companies and checking reviews on them we decided Infinite Energy had the best feedback. We engaged them to quote for an solution that would fit our house and decided on 12 x Q-Cells 255w Mono Panels & 1 x SMA SB 3000TL-21 3 kw inverter which was the maximum number of Panels we could fit on our roof. From the initial stage to the final 'handover' we were informed all the way as to where things were at and the installers asked and paid attention to layout suggestions from use regarding cabling etc and even though they worked quickly did a good job. Several years on and the system is still going strong and we are happy with that.”

Installing solar panels on the roof of your home can help you avoid the rising cost of electricity, increase the value of your home, and reduce your carbon footprint. Solar energy is clean and renewable, and government rebates, subsidies and grants encourage homeowners to make the switch. Solar power systems can heat your home, produce electricity and provide hot water so that your home is entirely self sufficient. So whether you want to improve your home’s energy efficiency, save money, or do your bit for the environment, use Houzz to find the best solar power contractor for your needs.

What solar power systems are available?


The two main solar power systems are on-grid and off-grid. On-grid systems – also referred to as grid-tied and utility interactive – are connected to your mains power supply. If your home produces more energy than it uses, your meter goes down and you generate credits with your energy provider (check your state government for details on any rebates available). On-grid solar panel systems have lower equipment and installation costs, and will save you money through net metering.

An off-grid solar power system uses battery banks to store the electricity you produce. These battery banks store the sun’s energy so you can use electricity at night or on a cloudy day. This system is designed to keep household electricity running for about two or three cloudy days; longer cloudy periods require a backup generator. Off-grid systems are most suited to households that have no access to the utility grid, and are sometimes a cheaper alternative to extending power lines in remote areas.

Hybrid and portable solar power systems are additional options. A hybrid uses two or more renewable energy sources – usually wind and solar, while portable solar systems are used mostly in farming, fishing and camping, and can be set up when there is no access to mains electricity.

What types of solar panels are available?


There are three main types of solar panels that can can generate electricity for your home: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and hybrid. The basic monocrystalline celled panels are fairly efficient and have outstanding performance in cooler conditions, but are marginally more expensive than polycrystalline, which works better in hotter conditions. Hybrid panels use crystalline cells with a thin layer of film, which attracts more energy. This makes hybrid models the most efficient solar panel installation, but also the most expensive. To talk about which solar panels are best for your home and how much energy they produce, contact a solar panel company or installer on Houzz.
