Con Katris | CEO of Solarrun Wyndham Vale
Con has had a successful career in the finance and service industries. However, he felt the urge to contribute more to the community. That's when he decided to invest in Solar Run Wyndham Vale. Through this venture, Con found a way to help people significantly reduce their energy bills, in some cases even eliminating them entirely. Moreover, he has been able to make a positive impact on the environment by promoting the installation of solar panels. Con is excited about the opportunity to work with you. He is committed to delivering a competitive and valuable quote and ensuring that you have an enjoyable experience throughout the installation process and beyond. From the moment he meets with you, he will be dedicated to providing excellent service and support, so you can rest assured that your solar installation will be a success.
FIVE STEP SOLAR PROCESS
OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS :
We start all projects with a site survey to ensure we are specifying the optimal panels, inverter and battery storage system (if chosen) for the job. Our system designers will detail everything required down to the last bolt so that when we install your solar system it’s done efficiently, and done right.
What is a feed-in tariff?
A feed-in tariff for your solar system is the rate your electricity retailer will pay you for any excess electricity produced by your solar system that is fed back into the electricity grid.
What are the benefits of going solar?
Solar power can save you money: every kilowatt of electricity generated by your solar system reduces the cost of your energy bill.
Environmental benefits: solar power reduces the potential for global warming and creates sustainable, clean energy.
Future proof your home: home buyers are increasingly recognising the value in buying a home with solar capability and this is likely to increase as electric cars become common on our streets.
Battery technology becoming more affordable: lithium-ion batteries can store solar power during the day for use at night making solar solutions even more advantageous.
Why choose solar energy?
The cost of installing solar solutions is coming down while at the same time the efficiency of the technology is always improving. In most cases, a solar solution installed today will have paid off your initial investment in about five to six years, through savings in power bills. As electric vehicles become more common on the streets, generating free electricity in your home to charge your car could become an added benefit in the future. Of course both of these steps help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our dependence on fossil fuel - the ultimate goal for us all!
What are solar inverters?
Solar inverters are an essential component of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. They are what converts the direct current (DC) output of solar panels (the energy collected from the sun) into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is what is used by the appliances in your home.
Inverters can be monitored via a computer program or device app to check energy generation, consumption and correct operation of the system.
Several types of inverters are suitable for home systems.
Is it worth investing in solar if I am at work all day?
Yes! With the price of solar systems decreasing and the increase in money the energy companies will pay you for what you don't use, now is the time to invest in your energy future. There are two ways that a professional solar system can save you money: first by providing free energy for you to use to run your appliances when you are home and the sun is shining; and, secondly, by enabling you to sell excess power back to the energy companies when you are producing more than you need or when you are not home.
How do I clean my solar panels?
Solar panels do need to be cleaned once or twice a year to keep them working at optimal levels. Dust and debris allowed to accumulate on the panels will reduce the amount of light the solar panels can absorb. Use soapy water and a soft brush or sponge to wipe the panels down. If it is not safe for you to do this yourself, contact us about organising one of our team to help you out.
Should I add a battery to my solar system?
As a part of our free site assessment, our team will determine whether a battery is the best option for you. Solar batteries allow you to use your own solar-generated energy to power your home at night, reduce your dependence on fossil fuels, and protect you against power outages. Even if a battery is not the right decision for you today, our solar energy installations are future-proofed and ready for the addition of a battery when you are ready in the future.
What are solar batteries?
Rechargeable solar batteries store the ‘excess’ electricity generated from a panel array, boosting energy capacity and making power available for use at night time or on cloudy days.
Recent design improvements and price drops in lithium-ion batteries have made solar storage more viable than ever before.
Assess your energy needs before investing in a battery or batteries. There’s no point buying more capacity than you can use — surplus electricity should instead be fed into the grid for a profit.
If all the appliances in your home are electrical, they can be powered by solar.
Battery storage systems are a serious safety risk if incorrectly installed and may have implications for insurance coverage, so when choosing a solar solution make sure to use a reputable installer.
