Use more of your own power
Electricity generated on your roof can help offset the power you would otherwise buy from the grid. Savings depend on your usage and system output.

Why Solar
THE SOLAR ADVANTAGE
Why consider rooftop solar?
Solar turns available roof space into a source of electricity. Learn where it can help, what affects the results and which questions to ask before choosing a system.
SOLAR, EXPLAINED
Use sunlight to produce electricity where you need it
Rooftop solar panels generate electricity when sunlight reaches them. An inverter converts that power into electricity your property can use. The arrangement for power from the grid, surplus generation and backup depends on the system type and applicable rules.
A good starting point is your electricity bill, usable roof area and when your property consumes power. These details help determine whether solar is suitable and what size of system to discuss.
Sunlight → Solar panels → Usable electricity
Actual performance varies by site and system.
PRACTICAL BENEFITS
What rooftop solar can offer
The value of each benefit depends on your roof, electricity usage, equipment and local regulations.
Support cleaner energy
Solar panels generate electricity without fuel combustion during operation, helping reduce reliance on conventional power sources.
Make use of roof space
A suitable, sufficiently strong and relatively unshaded roof can host a system without taking up additional ground space.
Plan for long-term use
Solar is a long-term purchase. Compare equipment specifications, warranties, maintenance and expected output before deciding.
Explore grid export options
Depending on the applicable utility rules and approvals, eligible grid-connected systems may have a way to account for exported electricity.
Consider solar beyond panels
Depending on your needs, solar water heating and suitable lighting products may also be worth exploring.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Questions that shape the right solar plan
A system recommendation should be based on your particular property, not a one-size-fits-all estimate.
How much electricity do you use?
Recent bills and your daytime usage help you discuss system size and possible savings.
Is your roof suitable?
Space, shade, orientation, condition and structural suitability affect the installation plan.
Do you need backup power?
A standard grid-connected solar system generally shuts down during a grid outage. Discuss battery or hybrid options if backup is important.
Which rules apply to your project?
Grid connection, export arrangements and any subsidy depend on current eligibility, technical requirements and approvals.
Actual bill savings, system performance and payback vary. We can discuss these only after reviewing your property, consumption and proposed equipment.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Do solar panels work during cloudy or rainy weather?
They can still generate electricity in daylight, but output is generally lower than in strong, direct sunlight. The amount varies with weather, shade and equipment.
Will solar power my house during a power cut?
Not automatically. For safety, a typical grid-connected system shuts down when the grid fails. If backup is a priority, ask about a suitably designed hybrid or battery-based system.
How do I know what system size I need?
Your electricity bills, daytime consumption, usable roof area and project goals provide the starting information for a recommendation.
Is a government subsidy available for my property?
That depends on the current scheme and your project's eligibility. Requirements and amounts can change; we can help you identify the documents and rules to check.
Can I use rooftop solar to charge an electric vehicle?
It may be possible if the system, charging equipment and available generation suit your vehicle and charging schedule. A site-specific assessment is needed.
