How Solar Energy Works

The energy from the sun is captured through photovoltaic cells (solar panels) that are typically mounted on the side of your roof that has the most exposure to the sun (north or west).

With a Hearn's solar system, your home or business remains connected to the main electricity grid that powers your area. Any electricity that your system generates above what you use is fed back into the grid.

When you require more electricity than you are producing, your system imports it from the grid automatically.

What you’ll save!

To install the 1kw solar system, Come into the store and discuss your requirements for a tailored Solar solution).

But then the savings just keep mounting. For example:

  • A standard home that produces 4,500kg of greenhouse gas would fall to 2,500kg
  • Electricity consumption would drop from 4,500kWh to 3,000 kWh
  • Each kWh of coal fired electricity takes 2.5litres of water, so you save the environment 3,750 litres of water each year
  • And an annual energy bill of $720 would drop to around $450.
