Is Spring The Best Time To Install Solar Panels? October 1, 2019 No Comment 2379 Views Share on As we head towards the end of not only another year but a decade, this is now the best time to install solar panels ! But don’t just take our word as solar installers (with over 10 years experience)

If you’ve been researching a solar power system for your home, you may have heard about the government STC rebate

STC stands for Small-scale Technology Certificate, which can be claimed when  an eligible solar power system is installed, to receive a rebate

What Do STC’s Have To Do With The Best Time To Install Solar? One of the reasons now is the best time to install solar panels is this government rebate is in the process of being phased out

Your eligible rooftop solar system would receive one STC for every estimated 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity it would generate until 2030

However, the STC rebate is being gradually phased out with a reduction to the rebate coming into effect every January

So while the scheme is planned to be in place until the end of 2030, the earlier you take up the rebate, the more money you could save

When Is The Best Time To Get Solar Panels Installed? Did you know spring is actually one of the best times for your Solar Power System Installation? Firstly, solar panels work on light not heat

In Spring here in South East Queensland and the Northern Rivers Region we have incredible sunny days with lower temperatures

These well sunny days without the scorching temperature can actually give you more power from your solar panels

While we specifically sourced our range of panels such as LG NeON solar panels as they are designed for the harsh Australian climate, that simply means they are more durable

However, it is the months before and after summer that are the best time for your panels’ production

Secondly, your panels are producing good amounts of energy as the weather warms up, but during spring your electricity output is lower

Again, without the scorching temperatures of summer, you have the longer days  without air conditioners, extra fridges, holiday cooking or entertaining over the summer months

In Conclusion Getting installed before the new year ticks over will mean you are benefiting from a higher STC rebate

As solar panels work on light not heat, a sunny Spring day with lower temperatures can give you more power
