Everything you need to know about solar, inverters, batteries, and our services.
Here are some questions you might have. If you don't find what you're looking for, don't hesitate to contact our operations team.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are lightweight, charge faster, last longer (3,000–6,000 cycles), and require no maintenance. They're more efficient (up to 98%) but cost more upfront.
Tubular batteries (lead-acid) are heavier, need regular maintenance, and have a shorter lifespan (1,200–1,800 cycles). They're cheaper initially but less efficient and bulkier.
In summary: Choose LiFePO4 for long-term savings, compact space, and low maintenance. Choose tubular if you're on a tight budget and don't mind regular upkeep.
That depends on your total load (appliances you want to run). A technician will calculate your power needs and recommend an inverter size — commonly 1.5kVA to 5kVA for homes.
That depends on your battery capacity and the number of appliances you're running. For example, a 200Ah battery may last 6–8 hours with moderate use.
Yes, they still generate electricity, but at reduced efficiency (around 10–25% depending on the cloud cover).
Most panels last 25–30 years and still perform at around 80% efficiency after that.
Yes, hybrid and grid-tied systems allow you to switch between solar and grid power seamlessly.
You can reduce your electricity bills by up to 70–100%, depending on system size and usage.
Yes, but you'll need a high-capacity inverter and batteries to handle the load. It's best to confirm with your installer based on the appliance ratings.
This depends on your energy usage, roof space, and sunlight exposure. On average, a small home may need 1–3 panels; a larger one may need 4–6+.
Yes, most modern inverters can charge the battery from the grid or solar while powering your home simultaneously.
Minimal maintenance is needed. Occasional cleaning (every few months) and a yearly inspection are usually enough to keep them at peak efficiency.
Your system switches to battery or grid power. During the day, excess solar energy is stored in batteries for night use.
Yes, with the right system size and battery backup. A solar expert can design a system tailored specifically to your energy usage.
Yes, especially when paired with battery storage or grid backup. Modern systems are designed for consistent, reliable performance.
Absolutely. Solar energy produces no emissions, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and helps combat climate change.
Load balancing in a solar system ensures power is shared efficiently. For example, if your battery can't handle all devices at once, the system prioritises essential ones like lights and the fridge, while delaying less important ones like the washing machine. This prevents overload and keeps everything running smoothly.
