You probably already know solar power is good for the planet and your wallet – but did you know there’s a solar-powered rubbish bin that squashes your waste to make more room?
Yep, solar can be pretty fun. These solar fun facts aren’t just interesting – they’ll show you why going solar in Australia just makes sense.
Wait – What Even Is Solar Power?
Solar panels go up on your roof and just sit there soaking up the sun. That sunlight gets turned into electricity you can use around the house. No noise, no fuel, no fuss. Once they’re in, they pretty much look after themselves. You can run your lights, appliances, even your air con – with nothing but sunshine.
Why Solar Works So Well in Australia
We’ve got some of the highest sunshine hours in the world. That means solar panels here perform better than in most other places. So, while you’re enjoying a sunny afternoon, your roof could be powering your home – and saving you money on power bills.
