Rooftop Solar Systems

A rooftop solar system has three main components, each playing a vital role in harnessing the sun’s energy:

For those who want more energy independence, batteries like Tesla Powerwall or LG Chem can store excess solar energy for use at night or as backup power during outages. Class A Energy Solutions is a leader in battery integration, helping you get the most out of your solar investment.

While batteries provide valuable backup power and greater independence, it’s important to note that adding a battery can extend the payback period of your hybrid solar system due to the higher upfront costs.

Quality Matters

Not all solar systems are created equal. The quality of components and installation workmanship affects your system’s performance, safety, and lifespan.

At Class A, we stand by our products and our work. All installations are done by Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited electricians, and we back our systems with industry-leading warranties.

Feed-in Tariffs and Selling Excess Energy

One of the great advantages of installing solar panels is the ability to earn money from the excess energy your solar system generates. Through feed-in tariffs, any surplus electricity your solar panels produce and don’t use is sent back to the electrical grid, and your electricity retailer pays you for it. These payments can significantly reduce your electricity bills and help offset the upfront cost of installing solar.

Feed-in tariff rates vary across Australia, depending on your state and electricity retailer, typically ranging from 2 to 12 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). To maximise your solar savings, it’s important to choose a solar panel system that matches your energy needs and to compare offers from different electricity retailers. By generating more electricity than you consume, you can take full advantage of feed-in tariffs and government rebates, increasing the financial benefits of your solar investment.

Selling excess energy not only helps you save money but also supports the wider community by contributing clean, renewable energy to the grid. Whether you’re installing solar for the first time or expanding your existing system, understanding how feed-in tariffs work is key to getting the most value from your solar power.

Integrating Solar with Other Energy Sources

Modern energy needs often call for more than just solar panels. By integrating your solar panel system with other energy sources—such as battery storage or additional renewable energy options—you can create a hybrid solution that delivers reliable, cost-effective power around the clock. Adding a solar battery allows you to store excess energy generated during the day, so you can use it at night or during a power outage, increasing your energy independence and reducing reliance on the grid.

Hybrid systems are designed to optimise energy generation and storage, ensuring your home or business always has access to affordable, renewable energy. With the right grid connection and battery storage, you can lower your electricity costs, shrink your carbon footprint, and enjoy a low-maintenance, sustainable energy solution. Reputable solar installers can help you design and install a system tailored to your energy needs, making the process smooth and cost effective.

Whether you’re looking to add battery storage to your existing solar system or want to explore other renewable energy sources, integrating solar with hybrid solutions is a smart way to future-proof your energy supply and maximise the benefits of solar power.

Troubleshooting Common Solar Issues

While solar panel systems are built for reliability and low maintenance, occasional issues can arise. Common problems include reduced energy generation, inverter errors, or battery storage concerns. If you notice a drop in your system’s energy production, start by checking your monitoring portal for alerts or unusual data. Sometimes, a simple reset or software update can resolve minor issues.

If the problem persists, consult your system’s user manual or reach out to the manufacturer’s support team. For more complex issues—such as persistent inverter faults, battery malfunctions, or unexplained drops in solar savings—it’s best to contact a professional solar installer or solar expert. They can quickly diagnose and fix the problem, ensuring your solar system continues to operate efficiently.

Regular maintenance, like cleaning your solar panels and inspecting the inverter, helps prevent many common issues and keeps your energy production at its best. Staying proactive not only maximises your solar savings but can also help you meet eligibility criteria for government rebates and incentives. Trusting experienced solar installers for troubleshooting and maintenance ensures your investment in solar power remains secure and effective for years to come.
