Ever looked at solar panels and thought, “How does that even work?” You’re not alone. There are plenty of interesting facts about solar energy that most people don’t know – and some of them are a bit mind-blowing.
Here’s the gist: solar energy comes from the sun (no surprises there). Solar panels grab that sunlight and turn it into electricity you can actually use at home – for cooking, charging your phone, or watching footy on the telly.
Living in Australia, where the sun’s out more often than not, solar power just makes sense. It can slash your energy bills and help the environment at the same time. Even better, there are government rebates that make the switch more affordable. In fact, many people find the long-term savings far outweigh the upfront cost.
Plus, you don’t need to be an expert – a good installer will guide you through it and make the process simple. As a result, going solar has become one of the easiest ways to upgrade your home without much hassle.
