Why should I consider switching to solar energy?
Switching to solar energy offers numerous benefits, including reduced energy bills, a lower environmental impact, energy independence, and potential government incentives. It’s a smart investment for both your wallet and the planet.
What types of solar installations are available?
Solar installations can vary in size and purpose. Common types include residential rooftop solar panels, commercial solar systems for businesses, and utility-scale solar farms. The choice depends on your energy needs and available space.
Is my location suitable for solar energy?
Solar energy can be harnessed in most locations, but the efficiency of your system may vary based on factors like sunlight exposure and climate. Our experts can assess your location and design a system optimized for your area.
How much will a solar installation cost?
The cost of a solar installation depends on factors such as the size of the system, your location, and available incentives. While there is an initial investment, solar systems typically pay for themselves through energy savings over time.
What government incentives and rebates are available for solar installations?
Our government offer incentives, tax benefit to encourage solar adoption. These can significantly reduce the upfront cost of your solar installation. Our team can help you navigate available incentives for your installation.
How long does a solar installation take, and what's involved in the process?

Can I sell excess energy back to the grid?
Our government allow for net metering / net feed in scheme, which enables you to sell excess energy back to the grid or receive credits on your utility bill. This can further reduce your energy costs.
Is solar energy reliable during cloudy days or at night?
Solar panels can still generate some electricity during cloudy days, although at a reduced rate. To ensure power at night, most solar installations are connected to the grid, which provides electricity when solar production is low.
