Solar Power Consumer Guide v2.9 Available For Download

Solar Consumer Guide - v2.9

Energy Matters has released the latest version of its popular Solar Power Consumer Guide.

First published in PDF format by the award-winning company in 2012, the comprehensive free guide has been updated regularly since and downloaded more than 23,000 times.

As with previous versions, the latest edition aims to assist consumers in selecting a solar power system and help them avoid potential pitfalls. Installing solar is one of Australia’s best performing investments – but as with any investment, there is a degree of due diligence required.

In addition to general updates, the latest edition has added information relating to home energy storage, and touches on residential solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs).

Topics in the revised 26 page guide include:

  • How a grid connect solar panel system works
  • How off-grid solar power works
  • Solar components
  • Solar panel installation factors
  • System lifespan
  • System sizing
  • Home battery systems
  • Solar incentives, rebates and financing
  • Selecting a solar installer
  • Knowing what questions to ask

As the world of solar can be a confusing place to newcomers, the guide provides quality information without being too heavily bogged down in technobabble.

Energy Matters has been providing comprehensive solar power information since 2005 and is one of Australia’s most popular online destinations on the topic. The site has welcomed millions of visitors over the years and assisted many Australian households and businesses along the path to acquiring solar panels.

SunEdison is the world’s largest renewable energy developer and holds more than 700 patents relating to everything from the silicon in solar cells to how a solar panel system integrates into roofing. The company is changing how energy is generated, distributed and owned around the world.
