Typically no but we can tailor a system to suit your needs. Depending on whether you want match your energy usage or cover the costs of your energy bill we start by reviewing your current energy bill and available roof area and tailor a system to achieve your requirements.

No. Solar panels require full sunlight. To work out the maximum solar benefit of your site, we use a device called Solar Path Finder. Every location is unique, and our staff use this device to determine the seasons, months and times of the year that your roof will be in shade.

All our panels have a 25 year output warranty.  Superior Solar select the highest quality inverters to compliment the panels and mounting ensuring the longest possible reliability and longevity.

Superior Solar only use mounting systems with the highest grade materials designed to withstand a harsh, coastal climate.

TILED PITCHED ROOF:
Conergy’s Suntop III uses a stainless steel bracket which slips between the overlap of your tiles and is fixed to the roof trusses. This places the load on the strongest point of your roof with no penetration into your roof tiles.

METAL PITCHED ROOF:
The Conergy Suntop III includes larger screws to ensure the strongest grip on the batons in your roof. This is completely waterproof. These screws work the same as your normal roof screws which are completely waterproof. The Suntop III uses rubber between the aluminium mounts and the roof to prevent corrosion between the different metals.

FLAT ROOF:
We install a German manufactured Conergy Famulus, 30 degree tilted frame to ensure maximum energy collection for your system. This is custom fitted to your roof depending on its structure and needs.

GROUND MOUNTING:
There are a number of different options depending on the size of the system and the landscape of your property. Contact us for more information on Solar Power ground mounting.

The panels are made of low-iron, toughened glass. In very extreme cases, the glass may be damaged so we recommend you notify your insurance company after installing your system.

Europe has a well established solar industry and have been manufacturing solar power components for many years. Their products have withstood the test of time as they are global leaders in terms of quality and longevity.

Under the Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), when you install an eligible system, you may claim a set number of these Small Technology Credits (STCs).

This number is based on the amount of electricity in megawatt hours (MWh) displaced by your solar system over the course of its lifetime of up to 15 years, where one STC equals one megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity generated or displaced.

The number of certificates you can claim may vary depending on your geographic location and in NSW approximately 20 STC’s are generated for every 1kW of energy displaced. The value of an STC varies but currently they are valued at $36. This rebate is applied at the point of sale so the and reduces the cost of a system by approximately 25%.

Yes. The size of the system will determine the impact on your BASIX assessment.

No, for safety reasons, in times of black-outs it is a requirement that your solar system is automatically shut off.
