FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you’ve been Googling solar and feel more confused than when you started, you’re not alone. Here are straight answers to the questions we’re asked every week by Canberra homeowners.
How does solar work?
Solar panels generate clean power by converting the sun’s energy into electricity via the modules and special material within the panel. It’s a pretty simple process that requires no moving parts. Most homes in Australia are connected to the electricity grid, which uses alternating current (AC) electricity. But solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity. So, an inverter transforms the DC electricity into AC electricity so that the energy you generate can be used in your home.
Why is NETCC accreditation so important?
The New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC) accreditation sets clear standards for solar providers, and Econ Energy is proudly NETCC accredited. It means our team is properly trained, follows industry best practice, works to Australian standards, and keeps our knowledge up to date as technology changes.
For you, it’s simple peace of mind. You know you’re dealing with qualified professionals, the work is done properly, and your solar system is eligible to create STCs under the current requirements.
What are Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs)?
Also known as “STCs”, Small-scale Technology Certificates help subsidise the cost of your solar system. But why? As part of the Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (also known as the RET scheme. The level of subsidy you receive depends on how many STCs your system is entitled to create, along with the market price of STCs at the time. Australia is divided up into various zones based on how much renewable energy a solar panel can generate. STCs are traded on the STC market, so the price varies according to supply and demand.
