Get the most out of your solar energy
The inverter is the brain that makes your solar system work! The inverter’s job is to take the electricity that is produced by your solar panels, and turn this into electricity that your home can consume. Your solar inverter will be working hard every day of the year, even in the worst weather conditions. If the inverter fails through component failure or blackout (unless backed up by a battery), your entire system will stop. That’s why it is important to choose a quality inverter that will stand up to the test of time and power your home for decades to come, together with getting professional advice.
Goulburn Solar offer a number of inverter brands including Fronius, Enphase and Sungrow. All of these inverter brands are well established in Australia, have great warranties and offer a wide range of product options to suit all system sizes.
In addition to your solar inverter, Goulburn Solar install a consumption monitor as standard with every solar system. This consumption monitor operates on WIFI or the 4G network, and allows you to view your solar production, household consumption, imports and exports all in real time via a mobile app or website. Online monitoring maximises electricity savings by providing data on production and use, allowing you to take full advantage of how your property is using power. Monitoring also provides true peace of mind that your system is performing on your smart phone or computer.
