Carbon Tips

Solar cells create clean, renewable energy

The sun can provide Australia's households with plenty of renewable energy. Contact us if you are interested in installing solar panels on your roof!

Solar Installations and Renewable Energy

The Carbon Reduction Institute has extensive expertise in renewable energy engineering and is currently offering grid connected solar installations or photovoltaic systems to residential and commercial customers in Australia in the Sydney and Canberra regions.

For residential houses the Photovoltaic Rebate Programme offers a rebate of $8 per Watt for the first 1 kW for residential solar installations in Australia. To receive this rebate the solar installation must be on your primary place of residence and must be pre-approved. The processing of the rebate takes approximately four weeks and is paid by the Australian government around one month after the solar installation and all paperwork is completed.

Grants of 50% of the system cost (up to 2kW) are also available for schools and community use buildings where there is significant educational value. Please contact us if you are interested in having a solar system installed at your school or community building.

How does it Work?

The photovoltaic modules convert the energy in sunlight into direct current electricity. The DC electricity is then sent to the inverter which transforms it into 240VAC mains power. This clean electricity flows directly into your home's energy meter. When your solar installation produces more electricity than is being used by your home, the surplus electricity flows back into the grid and your electricity meter runs backwards!

When your home consumes more solar electricity than it produces (night time), then electricity is automatically drawn from the grid. The power company bills you for the energy you use and credits you for the amount you feed into the grid. A solar installations is a great way for you to save money on your bills and to show leadership in the community toward solving climate change.

How Much Roof Space is Required?

Sloping north facing roofs free of shading are ideal for solar installations although they can also be installed on flat roofs. Each kilowatt of photovoltaic panels takes up roughly 10 square meters of roof space, so the maximum amount of solar panels that can be installed will depend on the space available.

How much electricity will my system produce?

Each kilowatt of photovoltaic system in the Sydney or Canberra region produces an average of 3.8 kWh each day.

How much does it cost?

The Carbon Reduction Institute offers a range of system sizes for solar installations. Please view our product catalogue.

Where to From Here?

Once you have decided to purchase a solar photovoltaic grid connected kit for your Sydney or Canberra house, contact us so that we can arrange a consultation time. During this consultation, we will take measurements of your roof space and fill out the forms for the government rebate; and we will help you fill out the development application forms. We will also conduct an energy saving assessment to increase the energy efficiency of your home so that you obtain maximum value from your solar installation.

Solar panels

Solar installations

With an average of 7.5 sun hours per day during the summer months, Australia is one of the sunniest countries in the world. This means solar installations can provide Australians with clean, renewable energy. If you install solar panels, you might even be able to feed power back into the grid. We might be able to subsidise the cost for your own solar installation. Contact us for a quote today.

Use the sun's energy to generate clean power

Renewable energy

Use the sun's power to produce clean, renewable energy. You will not only lower your personal carbon footprint but also encourage the development and spread of clean, renewable energy.

That way you become part of the solution for climate change!
