Why Solar Power?
FREE power from the sun - it couldn’t be simpler.
Install a FreeSolar system, and start reaping the rewards. Not only will the system pay for itself in no time, but you’ll also be doing the earth a favour! Here’s some good reasons to call FreeSolar today:
Save money, slash your power bills.
Protect you and your family against the rising cost of power by generating your own - FREE from the sun, one of our greatest natural resources. Your FreeSolar panels and inverter will convert the suns rays into 240v electricity, ready to help run the appliances in your household.
Become an energy magnate - sell your excess power.
Not only will you save money by installing a FreeSolar system, but depending on the size of your system, and the power you use, you could potentially make money! Your system will be connected to the power grid, and any excess energy will be fed back to the grid. The Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme pays eligible households for this excess power - not just the balance at the end of the quarter, but whenever generation exceeds consumption at any point in time during the day.

Contribute to cutting greenhouse emissions.
While saving money is great motivation to switch to solar, you can also make a positive impact on the planet. At present, around 90% of Australia’s power is generated through the burning of fossil fuels which contribute to greenhouse gasses. Solar energy is the largest zero-emission energy resource available to us. Consider that one hour’s worth of energy from the sun exceeds what all 6.9 billion of us consume in a year!
Sustainable houses
Increasingly, home buyers are looking for sustainability when buying a new house. Under the Building Code of Australia, all new houses and major renovations are required to be built to a minimum energy rating which measures the energy efficiency of the house’s building shell. If you intend to sell your house in the future, having solar power could increase the value of your property, and make it more attractive to potential buyers looking to reduce their power bills and contribute to a sustainable future.
