The Benefits of Solar Power Systems

Image
Solar Newcastle specialises in installing solar power systems. Its contracts do not contain hidden costs or prepayment requirements, and its products are backed by quality guarantees. Australia is known as the sunburnt country – and Newcastle, NSW, is no exception. The city receives 5.3 peak sunlight hours per square metre, on average. This can produce a lot of energy for your home, and earn you money from the feed-in tariff. Cost-Effectiveness Despite the initial cost of installation, solar power systems are highly cost-effective over the long run. They help reduce power bills, futureproof households from rising electricity prices and offer significant financial savings thanks to government rebates and tax credits. A typical solar energy system consists of photovoltaic cells that transform the sun’s energy directly into household electrical power. These cells are housed within a panel which is then connected to an inverter. This inverter converts the DC current into AC current...

New Newcastle Battery Charger

Image
New Newcastle systems portable power system has a powerful SLA battery to run laptop/thin client, thermal printer and scanner for up to 8 hours. Includes power outlets, USB charge port, audible and visual low voltage alerts and easy grip side handles. Paul Christensen is a subject matter expert on Li-ion battery fire safety and regularly speaks at conferences and events including a Royal Institution Lecture 2022. He is involved in four Faraday Institution battery research projects aimed at delivering commercial impact. Battery Traders A large battery energy storage system can earn money by providing ancillary services such as frequency control and operational reserve. It can also trade electricity on the power market, making arbitrage profits by buying cheap energy and selling it for a higher price in the liquid wholesale market. enspired makes it easy to maximize revenue from clean energy sites through automated, optimized dispatch and strategic bidding across energy markets. Us...

University of Newcastle Solar Panels Can Be Sticked to Any Surface

Image
An Australian breakthrough in wafer-thin solar panels that can be stuck on to any surface is a step closer to commercialisation. The recyclable solar cell sheets are created by University of Newcastle physics professor Paul Dastoor. They can be fixed to surfaces using double-sided tape. At the moment they are less efficient and only last a couple of years, but this could be changed in the future. What is a solar panel? A solar panel converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. Solar cells are made from semi-conducting material, most commonly silicon. They are arranged in groups called arrays or systems. They can be used to provide energy for off-grid applications, or they can be connected to the electricity grid and earn credits and payments from the utility company. The University of Newcastle team led by Professor Paul Dastoor has developed an ink based on semi-conducting flexible polymers that can be printed onto clear plastic sheets, which are then laminated ...

Why Solar Panels Are a Good Choice For Your Home

Image
Solar panels are increasingly becoming a popular energy solution for homeowners. They can help lower electricity bills and reduce carbon footprints. Plus, they come with a range of government rebates. Australia isn’t known as the sunburnt country for nothing – on average, Newcastle receives 5.3 peak sunshine hours per square meter each day. Save money on your electricity bills When a solar system is installed at your home, you will generate energy, which can reduce your electricity bills significantly. You can also save money by installing a battery system to store your energy. The government provides rebates for solar systems , which help offset the initial cost of installation. The size of these rebates varies from year to year, but they can be substantial. If you are considering investing in a solar power system, talk to an experienced installer to learn more about how much you could save on your electricity costs. If you pay a flat rate for electricity, on average solar ...
