Benefits of Solar Electricity Systems to Homes and Businesses

Solar Power Systems utilise the light from the sun to produce electricity.
Solar PV modules generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases.
Solar electricity can meet complete power requirements of a household/ business or supplement a part of it.
This energy when harnessed can effortlessly supply power to your property.
PV technology is highly-reliable.
Solar PV modules are generally flat and have no moving parts.
Solar PV Systems provide a renewable source of energy and helps reduce carbon foot print.
The energy produced can also be stored in batteries for future use.
Excess electricity can be supplied to the grid. This lowers your electricity bill.
Manufactures product warranty period of 10 years for solar PV modules.
Warranty: 25 years performance guarantee. ( 90% up to 10 years 80% up to 25 years)

Grid Connect Systems

A grid-connected Solar PV system is an array of photovoltaic modules connected via an inverter (which converts Direct Current DC to Alternating Current AC in the property).

How do grid connected solar power systems work?

A solar powered system is connected to the grid at all times
It will supply the house or business load first, then export to the grid automatically if excess energy is produced
You will receive whole sale price as a payment (Feed In Tariff-FiT approx 8c per kWh) when excess is sent to the grid
Solar systems are designed to meet client’s needs, expectations and budget
If the system is undersized for the demand the grid will automatically provide the difference
In dull days and at night the load required will be automatically supported by the grid.

Off Grid / Remote Systems

Many people are choosing to have an off grid solar power system (stand-alone) especially if there is no power supply close to their property. It generally costs a considerable amount of money to get the electricity supply there and this option can save money and never having an electricity bill every again.

The technology has improved and today it’s more efficient and affordable without missing out on home comforts.

How do off grid solar power systems work?

Off Grid Solar Power Systems are not connected to the grid or your electricity supply at any time.
An off grid solar system is sized to meet the demand of all households/businesses usage 24/7.
This is achieved by designing the system to cover all conceivable uses of electrical in the homes/businesses, sheds and pumping etc.
There will be a battery backup system in place to store renewable energy.
When there are dull days and at night a generator is in place if needed to cope with the load.

Self-Use Hybrid Systems

The choice is available for people to choose a Self-Use Solar Powered System (hybrid system). This means you can to have an off grid solar power system (stand-alone) and still be connected to the grid or your electricity supply at the same time.

This system is achieved by technology used to control whether you use:

Energy instantly
Batteries used to store excess electricity during the day
After batteries are fully charged; any excess energy will be feed back to the grid
This creates a backup system of power for later use

Consumption of energy in most households occurs in the evening, while most solar energy is generated during the day. A hybrid solar power system gets more out of self-generated solar energy by storing it for use at your convenience.

Free Standing Systems

Don’t have a suitable roof to install solar power systems?

You can opt for Free Standing Systems. Thanks to their stable base, free Standing Systems don’t need a wall or ceiling support.

Many homes and businesses in Albury Wodonga and other parts of Australia have roofs that are structurally-unsuitable for solar power system installation. Air conditioners and shading issues from trees may also prevent people from installing solar power systems in their homes. They are also not considered aesthetically pleasing by some clients.

Ground Mount & Pole Mount Systems are commonly used when there is plenty of space or there isn’t a suitable roof. Generally concrete footings are required for both types of systems using an aluminium or galvanised steel frame construction. These structures are engineered to cope with the loads and forces meeting Australia Standards & Building Code of Australia.

The pole and ground mount structures can be easily adjusted manually to access the maximum solar gain when the season changes from summer to winter.

Roof Mounted & Tilt Frame Systems

Are generally facing north for maximum output
Avoid shading issues from trees, air-conditioners etc. if possible to maximum solar output
The solar modules are mounted onto an aluminium frame construction
The framework is engineered to cope with the loads and forces
Our frame work meets Australia Standards & Building Code of Australia

Solar Tracking Systems

Global warming has led to the widespread adoption of green energy generated by renewable sources like solar power. Owing to this, the demand for a sustainable power generating solution like solar tracking has also increased.

Basically, a solar tracking system is used to adjust the solar panel/reflector toward the sun. At Glynncorp Electrical, we offer a patented DEGERenergie Maximum Light Detection (MLD) technology that goes a long way in improving the energy yield of solar power plants by up to 35-45% compared to fixed systems depending on the latitude. Based in Albury Wodonga, here’s what sets our tracking system apart from the rest:

Close to 50,000 systems have been installed across the globe
Made in Germany, the system is the product of unmatched German engineering
The steel frame is manufactured under license in Australia
Low maintenance – the system needs to be greased only once every year
The operations costs are also minimal

All in all, our solar tracking system is not only robust and durable but also comes with a complete warranty. Rest assured Glynncorp Electrical are dedicated and will assist you in saving costs and becoming more sustainable.

Reducing Demand

Solar Electricity Systems will help you reduce your electricity charges, but it’s important to reduce the total amount of electricity you consume.

Here are some tips on how it can be done:

Simply switch off standby loads e.g. TVs DVDs, Computers when not in use.
Utilising motion sensors, home automation systems and timers.
Use energy efficient appliances e.g. fridge, washing machine etc.
Use energy efficient appliances e.g. fridge, washing machine etc.
Avoid quartz halogen down lights. They can be replaced with LED’s or compact fluorescent.
To reduce heat build-up, you can position summer shading or reflective coatings on west-facing windows.
High grade insulation to reduce heat in summer and store heat in winter.
Use 100% block out curtains to block out the heat in summer and cold in winter.
Any large electrical loads could utilise off peak tariffs e.g. pool pumps or change to solar pump.

Water Pumps

There is no denying that a majority of the energy produced in this world is used to operate a variety of pumps. Whether it is submersible or surface pumps, solar pumping offers a number of advantages over traditional form of pumping.

At Glynncorp Electrical, we clearly understand the importance and benefits of installing solar power photovoltaic (PV) modules to supply to the pump/motor:

For one, it is designed for new or retro fitted to existing installations
It’s also used for low head and high volume water transfer
Then, for high head high volume pumping, nothing beats the PV modules
These can also supply to Brushless DC motors up to 2.1kW and
Three Phase motors up to 150kW
Also ISO 9001 and CE certified

Here are some of the typical solar pumping applications:

Swimming pool filtration and circulation
Landscape/waterfalls
Transfer
Bore pumping for stock and domestic
Irrigation reticulation
Centre Pivot and Lateral irrigation
Perfect for 3 phase flood/surface irrigation lift pumping and sprinkler & subsurface irrigation
Areas where access to 3 phase power is difficult or costly, solar pumping provides a no running cost option
A terrific option where diesel is being utilized to reduce running and maintenance costs
Greatly lowers noise levels
Safeguards against rising electricity and diesel costs
Helpful in Utility/Large scale pumping
