Solar power Advice
|
Each house is different, not just in the design of their solar power systems, but in how they use energy.
There are so many factors in getting the most out of your system that making the right decision can seem overwhelming. Our consultation can ensure that you get the most out of either your existing solar power system or a new installation.
“We have engaged John twice to advise us and provide designs for installing solar, improving energy efficiency and water harvesting for our inner city home. We have found his advice to be excellent and practical. We would recommend John to anyone seeking a consultant with detailed knowledge across the spectrum of urban sustainability issues. ” |

AssessmentWe advise on the best type of solar power system, where to put them and the sizing. We can compare the economics of different systems on your roof based on your power use. This allows us to:
|
Energy monitoringWe can install energy monitoring so that you can easily see your energy use patterns. The energy monitoring is a tool that allows us to drill down into energy efficiency opportunities and how to best manage energy production with energy use.
Our wholistic approach considers hot water usage and lighting as well as the heating and cooling requirements for your house. |
Shading simulationCalculating accurately how partial shading will impact on the output of a solar power system can be critical to assessing its financial viability. We can remove the guesswork with a 3-D model of the proposed system on your roof.

Battery storageWith feed-in tariffs for exported power from retailers ranging from 8 to 14c/kwhr, storing that energy for your own consumption is starting to look more attractive. We can advise on whether adding battery storage is a good option for your home.
