What is a solar system?
A solar panel converts sunlight into electricity, which can then be used to power electronic devices. Going solar can help us to reduce reliance on sources of electricity (such as coal and fossil fuels) as solar energy is free, clean, natural and has no environmental impact. Solar energy is not only sustainable, it is also renewable which means supply will never run out.
Solar panels convert sunlight to Direct Current(DC) power
The Inverter converts DC power in to 240 volts Alternating Current(AC) power
Converted AC power goes through the electric switchboard, ready for household use
The smart meter records the unused solar power sent to the grid as well as power used by household from the grid
The surplus electricity flows back into the main grid and gets credited on to the electricity bill

Unlike other traditional and most common sources of electricity like burning coal, solar power is more beneficial to our health, environment and financial well-being.
Using solar power does not entail carbon dioxide emissions in our atmosphere which leads to a cleaner air and a healthier environment.
Nearly 30% of all Australian residential dwellings are investment properties, which is over 2.5 million properties. At present, there is no effective way for solar to penetrate into this market as there is a split-incentive problem between the landlord (investment property owner) and their tenant. This means that the reduction in electricity costs are enjoyed by the tenant and there is no accurate and economical method for the landlord to recapture any financial benefits.
With our Landlord Solar Programme, a device and software will be installed together with the solar installation. The device monitors and measures the amount of solar electricity being consumed and fed back into the grid. Tenents will be billed at reduced rates for the solar electricity consumed and Landlords will then be able to capture the financial benefits of having solar installed on their investment properties.
How does landlord solar programme work?
1. After you have signed up with us, we will sign up for a landlord account with the service provider.
2. The service provider will make an offer to the tenant to enter a Digital Solar supply agreement with the landlord at a discount to tenant’s utility rates.
3. Installation happens and completes, during which we will install a monitoring device.
4. The monitoring device will monitor and manage the system in real time, where it will track the energy consumption and work out who pays for the bills.
5. Bills will be issued to tenant monthly in advance with quarterly reconciliation.
6. The service provider will remit the payment to either to the landlord or the property manager (who will then remit the monthly rental payment to the landlord).
You can now monitor the energy consumption on your rental property in real time using a computer or an app!

What is an all-in-one solar storage system?
Power when you need it. Our all-in-one solar storage utilizes free energy from the sun to maximize your energy savings. During daytime, the solar system products energy which is consumed by the household. When the sun sets, the surplus energy that is not consumed can be stored in the battery system to enhance further self-consumption and savings. One of the fabulous features of our solar storage system is that - you can recharge the battery using cheaper electricity during off-peak hours. That way, you can use the cheaper stored energy during peak hours when electricity is generally more expensive. This is especially beneficial in times of rising electricity bills. In addition, our all-in-one solar storage system provides emergency power during power outages. When there is a power outage, you will continue to have energy supply for your household and continue your night activities with no fear.
In an off-grid area, combination of ESS and photovoltaic energy can supply sustainable electricity and facilities without heavy investment on transmission and distribution. Our system can be combined by other power generation systems, such as diesel and gas, to cover peak demands.
What is solar carport?
Solar carports are a relatively new, practical and innovative way to turn an everyday structure into an electricity generation system. Our solar carport consists of construction of a carport and installation of a solar system. In Northern Territories (NT), there are regulations which do not allow solar systems to be installed on tile roofs which makes it difficult for tile-roof house owners to install solar. Building a solar carport is a brilliant method to overcome such issues. Solar carports take advantage of the intended purpose of a carport as a sunshade by installing solar panels on the top to absorb and make full use of free energy from the sun.
What are the benefits of solar carports?
- Suitable for houses with insufficient roof space
- If you have a smaller house roof, constructing a carport and putting solar panels on it will allow you to own a solar system too
