What does "Off Grid" mean?

Traditionally, stand alone power systems (SAPS) are used where connection to the main grid is unfeasible or unavailable, such as weekenders, farms or remote properties. If you live in a remote area where mains electricity isn't available, or is cost prohibitive, we can provide you with stand-alone wind turbine or solar power system solution that will save you money and save on carbon emissions. Our high-quality systems are competitively priced and our experienced technicians are always on hand to provide support services and technical advice.

• An affordable alternative to expensive mains connection.
• Government and industry cash back rebates available.
• Your own, reliable, silent power source.
• Adds value to your property.
• Reduces carbon emissions.

Factory tested for easy installation

Australia Wide Solar has custom-designed and built its own system board, which has been successfully exported throughout Australia as well as to many Pacific Islands. Our plug and play system is bench tested in our factory to ensure straightforward connection.

What comprises an off-grid system?

The elements of a SAPS system are the solar modules, batteries, inverter, and optional generator or wind turbine. We will custom-design the system according to the predicted loads (lights and appliances). This will vary with each property, and generator dependency will affect the size of the solar array and battery bank. Wind turbines can be added to our system board, and can be a significant charge source in the right location. Our SAPS systems will be designed to maximise your power needs to suit your budget.

What does "On Grid" mean?

Going solar is easy, a good investment, and a viable way to reduce carbon emissions. We specialise in solar design and installation of high-end home solar electric systems and have successfully performed thousands of installations for satisfied customers.

• We have home systems to suit a wide range of budgets and can help you to make the most of the government rebates.
• Save money on your electricity bills.
• Reduce your home or business's carbon footprint.
• Dramatically reduce your electricity bill.
• Receive credits back from your energy provide.

A home solar system is comprised of solar panels, the racks for putting the panels on your roof, electrical wiring, and an inverter. Solar panels are mounted on your roof and wired together. During daylight hours they generate electricity and send it to your inverter, where it then flows into your home.

What are RECs (Renewable Energy Credits)?

When you install a solar power system you create RECs which, depending on your zone rating, have a certain value. These RECs can be kept or sold to liable parties to offset their liability and help them to meet renewable energy targets. Many customers use these to offset the cost of their system.

How does Installing Solar Increase My Property Value?

Solar systems increase your home's value in two ways — by reducing annual operating costs and adding a capital asset to your property.

Investments in home energy efficiency have historically been valued based on how quickly the investment pays for itself. These investments also add value to the home, which can be recovered when the house is sold. For home solar, this value often amounts to half of the homeowner's investment after claiming all incentives and tax credits.

Millions of homeowners worldwide have gone solar with the knowledge that if they sell their solar home, they can cash in on the increased value of their property. Not to mention, save on electricity costs while helping to save the planet.

How does Installing Solar Save Me Money?

In addition to helping to save the planet, solar solutions save you money on your electricity bills and increase the value of your home. Thanks to government incentives and grants for renewable energy, you can literally save thousands of dollars on a grid connected, off grid, solar hot water or solar pumping system if you qualify for one of the Australian Government's renewable energy rebates, or subsidies.

Why Go Solar?

Cleaner and greener

Most electricity in Australia is generated by atmosphere polluting coal, which is greatly contributing to our current global warming crisis. There is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gasses n our environment. By using Photovoltaic Solar Power you can produce 100% clean electricity for a greener environment

Reliable, renewable energy

Solar panels are silent and have no moving parts, meaning you can be guaranteed a long lifespan from your system. Our solar panels also come with a 25-year warranty

Add Value to your Home

Sustainable housing solutions such as solar power, solar hot water and solar passive designs have become very desirable for homeowners. When you install a solar power system you will be increasing the value of your property assets

Decrease Energy Bills

Going solar allows you to generate free energy, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in the long-term. Given that electricity costs are expected to rise considerably over the coming years, these savings will only increase over time.

Generous Government Grants Now Available

The Australian Government is now encouraging all homes and businesses to go solar with substantial grants and tax offsets available. We can help you find out which grants are available to you.
