🔋 What Are Solar Panels and How Do They Work?
Solar panels, or photovoltaic (PV) systems, absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. Here’s how:
- Solar cells (made of silicon) capture sunlight.
- They produce direct current (DC) power.
- A solar inverter converts DC into alternating current (AC) — usable in your home.
- Optional battery storage keeps excess energy for nighttime or emergencies.
Installed on your roof, solar panels can power appliances, lighting, and more — all while reducing your electricity bills.
🌞 Top 6 Reasons to Go Solar in Melbourne with Greentastic
1️⃣ Slash Your Power Bills
Electricity costs in Victoria continue to rise. By generating your own solar power, you can cut your energy bills by 50–80% over time. Many homeowners report payback in as little as 3–5 years.
2️⃣ Tap into VEU Rebates & STCs
As a Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) supporter, Greentastic helps you claim:
- VEU rebates on solar energy upgrades
- Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) from the federal government
✅ We handle all the paperwork
✅ You save thousands on upfront costs
3️⃣ Boost Your Property Value
Homes with solar are in demand. Studies show that a solar system can add up to $10,000 or more to a home’s value — especially when paired with energy-efficient appliances or battery storage.
4️⃣ Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Every kWh generated by your panels:
- Reduces reliance on coal/gas power
- Cuts greenhouse gas emissions
- Helps meet Victoria’s net-zero emissions goals
Installing a 6.6kW system offsets over 250 trees worth of CO₂ annually.
5️⃣ Achieve Energy Independence
Pair solar with battery storage (like a Tesla Powerwall or similar), and:
- Store solar power for night use
- Protect yourself from grid failures
- Keep the lights on during outages
This means greater control, safety, and energy certainty.
6️⃣ Future-Proof Your Home
As Victoria tightens energy compliance for homes, early solar adopters benefit most. Future requirements for energy ratings, electrification, and rental property standards will make solar even more valuable.
