Just like the average homeowner, we at Energis understand the importance of aesthetics. Make sure your voice is heard during the installation process!
There’s nothing wrong with being a little ‘house proud’ when it comes to the outside of your house. Most homeowners take pleasure in maintaining their front garden, mowing the lawn and planting flowers to create a picturesque scene to passersby.
The truth is, when solar panels first started popping up on people’s roofs, there’s no denying that they stuck out like a sore thumb. But today, according to ‘The Clean Energy Council’, almost 1.25 million Australian properties now have solar power systems. An attribute to Australian houses that was once seen as ‘ugly’, is now in fact something that’s making the couple a few doors down a little jealous! The house on the street with the solar panel system is the house triggering interest amongst the other homeowners and let’s face it, setting an example by taking action towards a greener environment. By having solar panels on your roof you are silently announcing to your neighbors and friends that you care about your planet. Being energy smart for you and your family is beautiful, not ugly.
By installing a solar powered system to your house, not only are you contributing to your planet, you are making substantial savings each month on your electricity bills. For example, with the average Australian household using around 17kWh of electricity per day, a 3kW system could displace around 25-40 percent of your power cost. So are solar panels worth it? I think so- why not rely on the sun as our most viable, reliable and cost effective source of energy?
As the proud owner of your house and valued customer to any solar installation company, your voice matters. Don’t be misled by a company that only wants to pursue to the easiest installation process possible for them. Don’t forget that it is your choice how your solar panels should look and where they should be positioned. Obviously, the size and structure of your roof will ultimately be an important factor when designing your solar panel system, but don’t feel restricted and speak out if you are unhappy with the proposed drafts- there are all types of different solar panels. If the way your solar panels look is important to you, then it should also be just as important to your installers and they should be going out of their way to create the look you want. Of course, we can’t create a solar panel in the shape of a spaceship, but hey, who knows what could become possible in the future!
Reap the solar power benefits, enjoy the best solar panels on the market and be ‘solar proud’.
