FAQ’s

Why Go Solar

We all love something for free, so why not use the earth’s natural energy source to power your home.

Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into energy using photovoltaic solar panels normally installed on a roof top or ground structure. The panels normally produce a DC current in sun light, so they are connected to an inverter or controller that transforms this DC current to a usable AC power source. Your house appliances then can consume the power produced and any excess can be returned for the grid for credits or stored in batteries and used when the sun light is not available .

Warranty Policies

Please note Solar Power Solutions Southwest will openly disclose all warranty details on all products at the time of sale.

Finance Options

A major reason why many House holders and  businesses don’t install energy saving equipment on their premises is due to the large upfront cost of the solutions themselves.
So we’ve teamed up with industry specialist Solar Financial Solutions to provide our customers with a financing plan that lets you install a range of energy saving solutions without a large upfront payment while letting you enjoy an immediately lower electricity bill.

What’s the difference between battery storage offset and battery backup?

Battery storage offset

This battery can store excess power produced from you solar system during the day rather that exporting it to the grid, It then can be utilised at night or during low production to support house loads rather than drawing from the grid. In Most cases these batteries can be programmed for single use (discharging as its needed) or time of use ( discharging at a specific time during the night).

One of the most cost effective ways to obtain this outcome adding an AC Battery to your existing solar pv system.

Battery Back up

Like the Storage offset these batteries also operate similar and store excess power created by your pv system during the day, but also have the ability to supply backup power to your house or loads during a black out.

This will normally require you to have an existing hybrid or battery compatible inverter so the battery can be attached either via an interface or directly to the inverter. You can also AC couple to existing system to obtain this outcome.
