There are many reasons why so many Australians go solar, but improving the environment and cutting energy costs are most common. Our most popular packages at Hello Solar are also great investments. Some promotional systems have even shown a return on investment of up to 30% per annum - Compared to bank interest rates of ~4% per annum, it only makes sense why there is a huge uptake of solar.

Simply put, Solar PV cells generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and using that light energy to create an electrical current. A solar inverter will be installed to convert this current to useable electricity.

By installing a solar system you will be using solar energy and purchasing less electricity from your retailer during daylight hours. You will also be paid a feed-in tariff for any excess solar generation your home does not consume. A combination of these two factors will reduce your electricity bills.

A federal government incentive (STC Discount) is available to PV solar installations below 100kW around Australia. There are also some state specific incentives available to eligible home-owners. To find out more call our helpful solar specialists on 1300 070 786.

Most grid-connected solar systems are eligible for a feed-in tariff. A feed-in tariff is the rate an electricity retailer will pay for excess solar generation that is sent back to the grid. The current minimum feed-in tariff in Australia is 9.9cents/kWh.

A solar installation can take anywhere between 3-8 hours to complete depending on the complexity of the system design.

At Hello Solar we strive to help you transition over to solar seamlessly and swiftly. To start the process, simply call your local Hello Solar office on 1300 070 786 and speak to a friendly solar specialist.
