Frequently Asked Questions
What is a residential solar system, and how does it work?
A residential solar system harnesses sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate electricity for your home. The system converts sunlight into DC electricity, which is then converted into AC electricity by an inverter, supplying power to your household appliances. Excess energy can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid.

What size solar system is suitable for my home?
The appropriate system size depends on your household’s energy consumption:
6–8kW: Ideal for smaller households or families with lower power demands.
10–13kW: Suitable for average Queensland households looking to save on energy bills.
13kW+: Recommended for larger households or families with higher energy needs.
