Solar panel efficiency refers to the percentage of sunlight converted into usable electrical energy by a solar panel. It measures how well a solar panel can convert sunlight into electricity.
Australia has the highest uptake of solar globally, with around 30% of homes with rooftop solar PV. As of 31 January 2022, more than 3 million rooftop solar PV systems have been installed across Australia.
Living off-grid means independence from the main power grid, large power companies, and substantial electricity bills. This lifestyle is becoming increasingly appealing due to rising electricity costs and a growing desire for sustainable living. In Australia, where sunlight is abundant, solar technology provides a viable alternative to traditional energy sources. This shift is evident in both urban and remote areas, where advancements in solar technology are enabling more Australians to embrace off-grid living.
The solar industry is booming and you’ve gone solar; or at the very least, done your research and are ready to make the move into a more sustainable, affordable and environmentally friendly energy solution. Now it’s time to think about whether a battery to store your excess solar electricity might be right for you.
