Grid connect systems enable you to reduce your electricity costs during daylight hours.
Most solar systems installed in Australia are grid connect and include solar panels wired to an inverter which feeds the solar electricity produced in to the electricity meter.

Our quotes are all inclusive so that once we’re finished the solar system will be connected to the grid and up and running. Our installation includes a digital net meter which means that solar electricity from your solar system will supply electricity to the house first. If there is an excess of solar electricity produced such as in the middle of a sunny day then the excess will be exported back to the grid.

A grid connect solar system will save you money on your electricity bill but not eliminate it completely.

New England Solar Power has developed their own Ground Mount Framing system which is now available for other Solar Installers to purchase and use.

The NESP Ground Mount Frame System has been engineered to accept modules from 6 major manufacturers. It is made from galvanised steel, engineered for AS 1170.2 and is easily adjustable from 5 degree to 45 degree lift angles, to optimise output.

There are different “Bay Frame” sizes – up to 7 modules between each 2 posts, dependent on the modules. Suits system sizes from 4 to 40000 modules.

One of the big limitations of a typical grid-connect solar system is that it doesn’t produce electricity at night.

Solar hybrid systems include battery storage so that excess solar energy can be stored in batteries and used later when the sun goes down.

Solar hybrid systems include solar panels connected to an inverter, an energy management device (or inverter-charger), batteries and the electricity grid.

The following diagram shows how the addition of batteries to a solar system can maximize the use of energy generated by a solar system.

Let’s start with what are you trying to achieve
Specifically:

• Do you already have an existing solar PV system and is that generating enough energy to meet your average daily energy consumption?
• What proportion of energy consumption occurs at night?
• If net metered, how much energy is currently exported to the grid?
• Is back-up power during grid outages a ‘must-have’ or a ‘nice-to-have’?
• Is the ultimate aim to one day leave the grid?
• Is it more important to have a short payback period or a high level of independence from the grid?

Never pay another electricity bill with an off-grid solar power system!
Off-grid solar systems typically include solar panels connected to an inverter, an energy management device, batteries and a back-up generator.

New England Solar Power has over 15 years experience in design, installation and maintenance of off-grid solar systems. We use quality equipment to deliver power and reliability.
The key to the longevity of any off-grid solar system is the battery system. Maintaining batteries in good condition will enable them to last around 10 years.

Our off-grid solar systems are tailored to your energy needs. That’s why we ask you to tell us what electrical appliances/equipment you want before we design a system for you. This enables us to ensure that there is sufficient solar power being supplied (i.e. enough panels) and sufficient battery storage to last you during consecutive days of overcast conditions.

Complete a power demand profile (found just below) and send it to: info@newenglandsolarpower.com.au so we can quote you on an off-grid solar system to meet your needs.

This is an example of a Power Demand Sheet which you can use to determine how much power you need.

Solar pumps are a superior alternative to diesel in locations far from the electricity grid where water isn’t required 24-hours a day.

We install built-to-last Lorentz solar pumps for pumping from bores, dams and rivers to water storage tanks and watering troughs.
