How solar works
A solar system works quietly in the background, helping you generate and use clean electricity at home or at work.
2. The inverter makes it usable
Your inverter converts that electricity into power your home or business can use every day.
3. Your property uses solar first
When your system is producing energy, your appliances draw from your solar before relying on the grid.
4. Store or export the extra
Surplus energy can charge a compatible battery for later use or flow back to the grid, subject to your energy plan.
Why add solar?
Lower daytime energy use
Generate electricity when the sun is out to reduce how much power you need to buy from the grid.
More control over your energy
Pair solar with a battery to keep more of the energy your system produces for use after sunset.
A system matched to your property
The right system size depends on your roof, energy use, goals and available space.

Solar questions, answered
Will solar work on cloudy days?
Yes. Solar panels still generate electricity in daylight, although output is generally lower than on clear sunny days.
Do I need a battery with solar?
Not always. A battery can help you store more of your solar energy for later, but a solar-only system can still be a great option.
How do I know what size system I need?
System size should be based on your electricity usage, roof space, budget and future plans such as adding a battery or electric vehicle.
