What is Solar Power?
Solar Power is electricity generated by natural solar radiation contained in sunlight when it falls on a solar panel. 970 trillion kilo Watts of energy falls from the sky on a daily basis. All you need to do is to harness some of it. An average household uses 12 kilo Watt hours per day. A 1.5 kW system will deliver over half (7 units) of an average households (12units) consumption. Living in Australia, one of the sunniest places in the world…it makes sense to use this abundant and free source of power.
Who are Energypak?
Energypak are Grid Connect accredited (F1833) Electrical Contractors (EC004537). We reduce costs without compromising materials by taking control ourselves of the whole process eg: sales and design , Western Power and Synergy applications , government rebates , material sourcing and installation . We use only , the most efficient, highest quality,major brand German solar modules and inverters. The greatest advantage of high quality solar modules is their ability to still produce electricityat higher levels for well beyond 25 years. Guaranteeing they WILL MAKE you money over their life cycle. We use quality German (SMA and Kaco) ,Austrian (Fronius) and Italian (Aurora Power One) inverters. Stainless steel and aluminium mounting hardware manufactured by Schletter. And we take care of all the design, install and commissioning work ourselves.
How do we save you money?
Energypak are NOT a marketing company or Solar Panel retailer. We are a local design-installation company dedicated to reducing your environmental impact and to saving you many thousands of dollars over the life cycle of your investment by convicing you of the virtues that quality components offer. Our designs can be installed into an existing home or for even greater potential savings be designed into your new home plans.
How much electricity and money could it make?
1.3 kW .6x215W Solar World panels. 6 units per day*.5.5yrs for payback**. $3,176.00 profit after payback in 10yrs***
1.5kW .7x215W Solar World panels.7 units per day*.5.3yrs for payback**.$4,056.00 profit after payback in 10yrs***
(Gov.RECs multiplier rebate cuts off @ 1.5kW.)
2.15kW. 10x215W Solar World panels. 10 units per day*. 5.3yrs for payback** $6,433.00 profit after payback in 10yrs ***
2.6kW .12x215W Solar World panels .12 units per day*.5.5yrs for payback**.$7,859.00 profit after payback in 10yrs***
3.6kW .17x215W Solar World panels .17 units per day*.3.7yrs for payback**.$16,081.00 profit after payback in 10yrs***
4.3 kW . 20x215W Solar World panels. 20 units per day*.3.7yrs for payback**.$19,633.00 profit after payback in 10yrs***
5.2 kW .24x215W Solar World panels. 24 units per day*.3.7yrs payback**.$23,996.00 profit after payback in 10yrs***
*all unit per day amounts are derived from the true industry standard of 4.6kWh per 1kw of photo voltaic panels daily averaged over a year using quality modules. This may vary as environmental conditions and seasons dictate.
**estimated projection based on July 2010 A1 tariff of 20.8c per kWh ,the 1 August net feed-in tarriff of 40c kW h and 7c REBs ,$37 value of RECs including federal gov multiplier , based on avg household energy consumption of 12 units per day.
***approximate projection of profit after payback based on min 10 year net feed-in tarriff of 40c kWh+7c REBs , based on avg household energy consumption of 12 units per day.
How much does it cost?
Electricity has now risen by 18% since December 2009 to 20 cents kWh/unit .The introduction of the net feed-in tarrif on1 August 2010 and the strength of the AU dollar have dramatically driven prices to the point where solar power is truly good value. 1.5kW Energypak systems fully installed (inc. GST) including SolarWorld modules(Germany), Kaco or SMA inverter (Germany) and Shletter mounting system(German) are currently available for under $5,000.00 after rebate to a single storey home standard installation.
What to do next?
ENERGYPAK will assess your electricity needs, your homes orientation to north and any shading issues. We then design a solar plant for your homes electrical load and your budget. A 1.5 kW system will produce an averaged annual amount of 7 kW/hrs a day. This amount is displayed on your power bill as a unit of electricity.1kW/hr = 1 unit. Energypak can build any size system your roof permits. Then sit back knowing you are doing your bit for the environment and making money as long as the sun is shinning.Power prices continue to go up .The State Government has announced a net feed in tariff for commencement 1 August 2010. . All this means NOW is the perfect time to INVEST in QUALITY solar power
