During daylight hours when the sun is shining, solar panels in a photovoltaic (PV) system convert sunlight into electrical power. By aligning some of your home electricity consumption with these peak production hours, you can maximise the benefits of solar energy.

For example, setting timers to run high-energy appliances like washing machines, dryers, or dishwashers during the middle of the day when your solar PV system is most active allows you to utilise the electricity it generates directly. This reduces your reliance on the electrical grid during those hours and potentially leads to lower electricity bills.

By strategically adjusting your electricity usage patterns, you optimise the cost savings associated with solar power. The surplus energy generated during the day can sometimes be fed back into the grid, earning you credits and reducing your overall electricity costs. 

By investing in solar sooner rather than later, Aussies can reduce their costly monthly bills from the jump.

Return On Investment Don’t Hold Off!

For First Home Buyers and Young Aussies, budget is king.
Making a weekly, monthly and annual financial plan to get the most out of your income is essential for setting yourself up for the future, and many new homeowners understand and adapt to this way of life.

Some Australians may feel that postponing an investment in solar is being budget-mindful - when in actual fact, putting off a residential solar investment to the future is actually HURTING your budget.

Industry secret: solar is progressively getting more expensive for the consumer!

Innovation is a constant process, and though the renewable energy industry is getting sleeker, smarter, and more efficient. The lower prices in manufacturing and installation do not off-set the lessening of Australian Government rebates.

The federal solar rebate (STC) for the installation of solar panels is designed to gradually decrease until 2030, diminishing the initial advantages of adopting residential solar. Savvy consumers have caught on to this pattern, leading to a surge in the adoption of new solar systems as individuals aim to capitalise on the lowered prices that will be in effect for the next seven years.

Translation: every year you put off installing solar, it gets more expensive! Though Elite Power Group commits to providing you with the highest quality at the lowest price, we cannot control the government’s policies. We can only recommend that you invest as soon as possible.

The standard return on investment for a 6.6kW residential solar system with Elite Power Group is 3-5 years. This means that all energy savings after this period is effectively money in your pocket! With First Home Buyers traditionally holding their investment for a long period of time, as is recommended by real estate experts, installing residential solar upon buying your new home is the best way to ensure future return on investment.

A home is one of the largest investments that many Australians will make in their lives. Understandably, they want to be sure that this investment will appreciate over time.
Solar power is a home upgrade with great potential to enhance property value, surpassing many other more expensive improvements. Given the universal need for electricity or some form of power at home, the previously outlined advantages of reduced energy costs will make your home more appealing to prospective buyers.

A standard 6.6kW solar system from Elite Power Group helps customers reduce their personal CO₂  production by over EIGHT TONS every year.

Do away with the fossil-fueled power of the grid, and embrace the clean energy that moves us towards a carbon-neutral future!

If you are a First Home Buyer or a young Aussie (or even young at heart), invest in solar now!
