Checklist Before Installing Solar Power In Your Adelaide Home.

We have an in depth discussion at Solar Power Adelaide ,http://solarpoweradelaidev.com.au/ at what you should look for and what selection processes you should consider when choosing to go for a solar panel system in your Adelaide home.

Key Points Include:

- Solar Panels must be north facing
- Solar Panel tilt must be around 25 degrees
- Ensure that there is no shading cast onto your solar panels from surrounding trees.
- Only consider using C.E.C. Adelaide accredited solar installers
- We suggest solar panels like Suntech ,konergy,Kyocera,Sharp . In other words quality solar panels that will have support if any issues arrive.
- The same goes for the solar inverter. We like SMA which has an excellent track record of reliability in Australia.
Get all quotes in writing and get all warranties for the solar panels,inverter and the workmanship in writing.

Solar Inverters Failing in Adelaide

As we mentioned on the solar power Adelaide  web page many of the solar installers in Adelaide are using ow cost Chinese manufactured solar inverters-the device that converts the DC electricity generated by the PV (photovoltaic) solar panels to AC electricity. It seems , unfortunately that many of these inverters are now failing , because the electronics is either over heating or they are not proving to be fully weather proof. Many solar power systems have not been producing the electricity their owners hoped for because although their solar panels produce plenty of solar electricity, the solar inverter has failed to covert that energy to AC power.

Because the solar feed in tariff is currently paying 44 cents in Adelaide the solar panel industry cannot keep up with the enquiry rate.
