  • What kind of maintenance do solar panels require?

    When designing systems we try to ensure they require minimal maintenance, for both your own and our own peace of mind. Nobody wants to be getting on the roof to clean their flat panels or paying someone to do so! Cleaning to remove dust and debris is sometime recommended if a visual inspection show’s clear obstructions to light, but usually they will self clean when the next rain comes.

The amounts and rates will be totally dependant on your agreement with your electricity retailer.

    Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days and during winter, although their efficiency may be reduced compared to sunny days. Victoria's climate still offers sufficient sunlight for effective solar energy production generally, but it depends on the angle and azimuth of of your panels.
