Is it still worthwhile installing solar power in winter?
Just like Ned Stark is famous for saying, “winter is coming”, that doesn't mean you should stop thinking about solar energy! In fact, Queensland winter is still a great time to invest in solar panels for your home in Brisbane, Ipswich, Sunshine Coast, or anywhere in Queensland.
Here are just a few reasons why you should consider installing solar in your home or business this winter:
Winter sunshine is still strong
Although the winter days are shorter, the Queensland sun is still strong enough to power your home. Let's face it, there's nothing better than snuggling up in a warm, energy-efficient home during those long chilly winter nights (especially if you add a solar home battery). Don't let winter rain on your parade - solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or overcast days, so you can enjoy the benefits of solar energy all year round.
Solar panels still work in extreme winters - unlike the winter we experience here in Queensland! This solar farm is in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Increase your energy savings.
Winter can also be the season of higher energy bills, especially if you're cranking up the heating to keep warm or taking those extended hot showers.. let's be fair, we are all guilty of doing it. While we’re on the topic of hot water, CATCH Power has created a device that turns your solar energy surplus into hot water.
With solar power, you can reduce your reliance on energy companies and save money on rising energy costs. Even better, the money you save on those energy bills can be used for other winter essentials like hot chocolate, ugg boots, or even a cosy new blanket to snuggle up in. And the best part? By installing solar panels, you can expect to save up to 70% on your energy bills throughout the year.
Prepare for summer.
Winter is a great time to get a head start on your summer plans. Installing solar now means that your home will be ready to take advantage of those longer days and stronger sunshine that summer brings. Plus, you can avoid the busy summer installation period where demand is high. You can have your solar panels up and running before you can say "solar-powered pool party".
It's still good for the environment.
Reducing your reliance on fossil fuels is a big win for the environment all year round. By installing solar power, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner, greener future. It's time to shine a light on your commitment to the planet and make a difference to Queensland’s future with solar energy.
Government incentives.
Incentives are still available for homeowners and business owners who install solar panels even in the winter months! By taking advantage of these incentives, you can offset the cost of installation and enjoy the benefits of solar energy for years to come. It's a win-win situation - you save money on energy bills while reducing your carbon footprint, all with a bit of help from the government.
So, there you have it! Even in the colder months, solar power in Queensland can still be a great investment for your home. Whether you want to save money on energy bills, prepare for the Australian summer, or help the planet, solar energy has got you covered.
