What is a Solar PV System?
A solar PV system captures the sun's energy using photovoltaic cells. These cells don't need direct
sunlight to work. They can generate some electricity on even a cloudy day.
Advantages of Solar PV
Reduces electricity bills
Availability of government incentives
Solar PV is environmentally friendly
Operating and maintenance costs for PV panels are considered to be low, almost negligible, compared to the costs of other renewable energy systems
Structurally unsuitable roof types cannot
safely withstand forces or ‘loads’ which
the panels may exert through its weight
and wind loads
Prior to inviting solar installers to quote
and install having an independent solar
assessment done by an expert solar
consultant is important
What is the role of a solar
consultant?
Undertakes a thorough assessment of the rooftop
Checks the site for the shading obstacles
Recommends the best location for the solar panels to optimize energy yield through the year
Exclude unsuitable areas
Today, most of the solar PV developers in
Australia are aware of shading issues and
so a number of manufacturers are using
bypass diodes
