With the Australian summer fast approaching, there is no better time to get in early and beat the heat with a fresh set of solar panels. As demand and delay times begin to rise, the sooner you make the switch to solar power, the better.
Perth’s Powerful Summers
There is a reason Perth is referred to as the ‘City of Lights’. Our incredible climate allows for 3,200 peak sunlight hours annually – more than any other city in Australia. At summer’s peak, we can receive over 14 hours of sunlight, with extreme UV ratings of 12 or more. It’s time everyone took advantage of our sunny city, converting this summer sunlight into electricity for your household.
Save Big on Cooling
Australians are no strangers to extreme temperatures, but air conditioning can often come at a high price. With power bills on the rise, solar panels are a great way to hedge against constant cost increases. Solar power allows you to offset high electricity bills, guaranteeing you a return on investment. From refrigeration to pools, you will be able to stay cool and comfortable in the West Australian heat.
Solar panels also act as a physical barrier, blocking roofs from the harshness of the sun. The panels absorb the heat that would otherwise be absorbed by the roof, creating a protective layer that cools down your house. They can also protect your roof from weather damage and sun-bleaching, increasing the value of your home.
Stay Prepared with Battery Storage
With the emergence of solar batteries, you can save and store the energy generated during the long Perth summer. Solar batteries allow you to leverage every hour of sunlight, cutting costs even when the sun begins to set. Your household will become self-sufficient no matter the time of year, enjoying an uninterrupted power supply.
Stored energy can also be a great backup, providing electricity during potential blackouts. With hotter temperatures and increased pressure on the power grid, summer is a prime time to lose electricity. Batteries provide you with all the protection you need, using all the excess energy you have stored to keep essential appliances running.
The sun won’t always be shining – the sooner you start storing, the sooner you will be saving.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Not only is solar power great for your wallet, but it will also significantly reduce your carbon footprint during these high-power periods. With solar panels, you will be channelling clean, renewable energy that bypasses the polluting process of traditional power plants. Not only that, but the panels themselves are made of materials that can be recycled and reused.
Australia is already making the switch to renewable energy. A combination of solar and wind is generating nearly 40% of our electricity. By 2030, expensive and unreliable coal-fired power stations will all reach their end-of-life. With the government favouring this renewable infrastructure, there is no better time to jump on board.
The sun itself is inexhaustible, especially in the summer climate. You will ultimately be enjoying an abundant source of energy while doing your part in protecting our environment.
