Why should you consider installing solar panels?
Installing solar panels on your property can offer incredible benefits, such as:
- Energy savings: Solar power is a great way to save money on your monthly utility bill. With solar panels installed, you rely on the grid less, or not at all. How much you can save will depend on the amount of energy you use and if solar rebates are currently on offer in your area.
- Feed-in tariffs: If you produce more electricity than you use, you can even take advantage of feed-in tariffs. These are payments made by electricity retailers for surplus electricity you generate that is sent into the grid. Feed-in tariffs make solar panels an even more financially savvy investment.
- Carbon footprint: As it uses sunlight, a renewable resource, solar power creates sustainable energy. Solar also doesn’t burn fossil fuels or cause carbon emissions when it is being used, so it avoids the environmental downsides of those power sources.
- Property value: Typically, installing solar panels on your property can increase its value and help it sell faster on the market. Homes or businesses with solar capabilities can be more attractive to potential buyers.
- Power independence: Even if you’re not using off-grid solar, installing solar panels can offer some degree of energy independence. Combining a residential solar system with battery storage systems can ensure you have power during outages or weather disruptions.

Our solar system brands
We work with the following brands for solar sytem installation:
Solar battery installation
To really maximise the potential of your solar panels, consider investing in a solar battery. While it’s not necessary for panels to function, a solar battery enables you to store power for use when the sun isn’t shining.
To ensure the solar battery stays in good condition and is stored properly, it must be placed in a dry, secure and accessible location. It must also be connected correctly.
We’re experts in solar battery installation. Whether you want a battery to go with your new system or to add one to an existing system, we’ve got the expertise to get the job done right.
What is the process of installing solar panels?
Here’s the process we follow to install your solar system to the highest professional standards:
- Site assessment: A qualified member of our team will evaluate your property for solar installation. This can also include checking if the switchboard can handle the new electrical load. Your residence may need upgrading before solar installation can begin.
- System design: If your home is appropriate for solar installations, the system will be customised and tailored to suit your needs. This includes determining what size the system should be and which brand is most suitable.
- Panel mounting: Solar panels are typically installed on your property’s rooftop to ensure they receive the maximum amount of sunlight.
- Electrical components: To form a complete array, an installer will need to connect the panels to the property and the inverter, using wiring and other electrical components. Effective installation ensures the inverter can convert the DC electricity from panels into AC electricity fit for your home.
- Battery installation: We’ll also install a battery if you choose to have one. This involves storing it in an appropriate location and ensuring it is correctly connected to your system.
- Grid connection: If you have a grid-tied system, your solar array will need to be connected to the system. This ensures you can still receive electricity if you are using more electricity than you can generate, and allows you to take advantage of feed-in tariffs.
Solar panel servicing and maintenance
Once your solar panels have been installed, it is crucial that they receive regular maintenance services. System issues may go unseen without regular inspection.
Plus, dirty panels can cause inefficient energy production. Certain substances can damage your panels over time if they build up.
Our team at Climate Plus excels at solar panel maintenance and repairs. We are fully equipped and qualified for each job, and we are committed to catching small issues before they become big problems.
Our expert crew also performs thorough and eco-friendly solar panel cleaning. This clears corrosive substances from surfaces and ensures cells are receiving sunlight.
We’ll also check your solar inverter for faults and review any errors registered on your system monitor. Finally, we’ll ensure that all wiring is not exposed and is in good condition. This prevents electrical hazards.
Benefits of regular maintenance checks include increased efficiency, lower repair costs over time and warranty maintenance.
We’ll ensure your system continues to function properly long after we finish our installation. You can trust Climate Plus to be your long-term maintenance partner.
The importance of quality solar panel installation
While a solar panel installation can be a fantastic chance to enjoy clean, renewable energy, a poor installation may result in additional costs and repairs. It is crucial that you rely on a fully qualified professional to ensure your system is functioning properly from day one.
Impacts of poor panel installation include:
- Placement and orientation: Your panels need to be oriented to receive sunlight throughout the day. If panels are under a shaded area or miss sunlight at certain hours, their efficiency may be seriously compromised. Panels too close to the edge of the roof pose structural and weather-related risks. Poor placement can also cause destructive hotspots.
- Connection: Cables should not be clearly exposed in most solar panels, as this leaves them vulnerable to weather conditions. Damaged or corroded cables are a health risk, and a poor connection to components like the inverter severely affects how much energy you are receiving.
- Damage: Chipped or cracked panels or damage to your roof are signs that installers may have rushed or poorly installed your system. A roof that was damaged during installation can also cause ongoing issues.
- Energy bills: Once your system is online, you should notice a decrease in your energy spending. If your electricity bill is unchanged, or there is a drop in energy production after initial installation, then your panels may be poorly installed.
