Newcastle Solar Power

Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews saved a Merewether resident from a dangerous lithium battery explosion. The man was storing the battery in salt water when it began off-gassing. End-of-life batteries can pollute the environment by leaching chemicals into the soil, causing contamination at different trophic levels. They also pose a respiratory risk to recycling centre workers and may cause fires. Powers Workstations Newcastle Systems’ NB Series mobile powered carts deliver quiet, seamless AC power to mobilize your workstation hardware.

Solar systems help reduce your dependency on mains electricity, saving you money on energy bills. The savings you can enjoy are substantial and long term. Solar panels are designed to withstand constant exposure to the elements but will need occasional maintenance and cleaning to maintain their optimal performance. Occasionally, the system may fail due to unforeseen reasons. Weather Damage Solar panels are very durable and it’s extremely rare for them to be damaged by extreme weather conditions. However, they can be affected by rain and wind, especially in coastal areas and the inland highlands. During these conditions, it’s best to make sure that all cables are connected properly and that there are no gaps. It is also important to clean your solar system regularly and ensure that nearby trees are not shading the panels. This will help to prevent dirt build-up which can impact the performance of your solar system. It’s important to remember that cleaning and maintaining your sola...

A swimming pool is a fantastic place to relax and unwind with family and friends. But a pool loses its heat overnight and on cloudy, windy days due to evaporation. Newcastle solar heating makes your swimming pool warm so you can enjoy it for more months of the year. It’s also a great energy alternative that is good for the environment. What is it? People spend a lot of money on their swimming pools, but it’s usually only swimmable for 3 or 4 months of the year. Extending the pool season with solar heating is a practical, affordable and environmentally friendly option that will enable you to make the most of your investment. Solar pool heating uses the natural sunlight to heat your pool water. A circulation pump is used to move the pool water through a series of pipes that lead to the solar collectors on your roof. The solar collectors absorb the sun’s heat and then return the water to your pool. The system is automatically controlled to ensure trouble-free operation. The best sol...

A huge power outage has hit Newcastle City Centre this morning with reports that 150 properties are without power. A live map of affected postcodes can be found here. The Newcastle hairdresser who owns a salon nearby said she thought it was “disappointing” that council went ahead with the work knowing full well that Ausgrid would be forced to leave the pole in the roadway. No Deposit Light Companies Unlike traditional plans that require a credit check to begin service, no deposit electricity companies provide you with a way to get power without having to invest any money upfront. These plans work by allowing customers to estimate their electricity usage and then move funds into the account before starting service. This gives the customer the opportunity to use their energy wisely and avoid high bills. Additionally, prepaid no deposit electricity plans can be monitored in real-time to give the consumer insight into their energy usage and bill. This can encourage the user to take mor...
