Solar explained

How rooftop solar powers your property.

Solar technology is proven and straightforward: panels generate electricity, an inverter makes it usable, and smart design determines how effectively the system meets your needs.

01

Sunlight reaches the panels

Photovoltaic cells in each panel convert available sunlight into direct-current electricity.

02

The inverter converts power

The inverter converts DC electricity into AC electricity suitable for the home or business.

03

Your property uses solar first

Operating appliances and equipment use the solar energy available at that moment.

04

Surplus energy is managed

Depending on the system, excess energy may charge a battery or be exported to the grid, subject to network settings.

Connected, monitored and balanced.

Most rooftop systems remain connected to an electricity retailer and the distribution network. When solar generation is lower than demand, the property can draw from the grid. When generation exceeds immediate use, permitted surplus can be exported or stored.

Actual savings depend on system production, consumption timing, electricity tariffs, export arrangements and ongoing usage.
