Solar Installers Canberra ACT

Why is solar panel efficiency important? We explain the misconceptions around efficiency and list the most efficient panels from the leading manufacturers using the latest PV cell technology.

We review the best grid-connect solar inverters from the worlds leading manufacturers Fronius, SMA, SolarEdge, Fimer, Sungrow, Huawei, Goodwe and many more to decide who offers the highest quality and most reliable solar string inverters for residential and commercial solar.

Electric vehicle (EV) sales are growing rapidly, and home owners are looking at ways to charge an EV using solar. In this article, we explain how you can charge an EV using your own rooftop solar and look at the many different EV chargers available including smart chargers which enable solar-only charging and load management features.

Bidirectional EV chargers are sophisticated EV chargers capable of two-way charging; charging an EV and discharging energy back into the grid, known as V2G. In this article, we review the Bidirectional EV chargers currently available or under development.

Learn about the different off-grid solar systems available and what is required to build a quality and reliable off-grid system. We also highlight the best off-grid inverters and battery storage systems for home use to provide power under all operating conditions and situations.

Shading on solar panels often results in a significant decline in performance. Bypass diodes are used to mitigate the effects of shading, but their failure can exacerbate the issue, leading to potential damage to the solar panels. In this article, we'll delve into the challenges posed by solar panel shading and associated issues with failing bypass diodes. Plus, we offer solutions to help reduce the effects of shading and provide a troubleshooting guide to test whether diodes have failed.

Sungrow is one of the largest solar inverter producers in the world and offers a wide range of hybrid energy storage and solar inverters. The popular inverters from Sungrow have proven to be some of the most reliable and cost-effective inverters on the market, while the SBR battery is one of the best-value modular battery systems.

SunPower is regarded as a world-leading solar panel producer with only a few manufacturers competing at the same level of performance and quality. SunPower also leads in efficiency, but is the extra cost worth it? We examine the SunPower range of panels and the new SunVault and Reserse battery systems.
