Solar Panel Installation Hobart – Reduce Your Electricity Bills and Boost Property Values

Image
Hobart and Tasmania are STC zone 4. This means you receive a significant amount of money upfront that will help offset your solar system installation costs. Sophisticated commercial solar systems in Hobart can provide businesses with significant savings on their energy costs. With electricity prices volatile and on the rise, business owners are seeking ways to protect their operational budgets. Save Money on Energy Bills A well-installed solar system will generate power throughout the day to offset your home energy consumption. When it generates more than you need, you can also send the excess electricity into the grid and receive a feed-in tariff. This will further reduce your energy bills and shorten your payback period. Whether you’re a business owner or homeowner, the switch to renewable energy can help reduce your overheads and save you money on your utility costs. Many businesses can see a reduction in their electricity expenses within months of switching to solar power ...

Battery Point – A Quiet Suburb of Hobart

Image
Battery Point is an up-market yet quiet suburb of Hobart, south of the city center. Visit this historic neighborhood to soak up Tasmanian culture and sample scallop pies at the waterfront Salamanca market, climb Kelly’s Steps (a clever inner-city shortcut hacked into a cliff), or explore Arthur Circus. Visit R&J Batteries in Hobart to find car batteries, deep cycle batteries, RV batteries, marine batteries and more. We also offer free battery testing and expert advice. High Energy Density High energy density is the ability to store a large amount of electrical energy in relation to the battery’s mass. It is not to be confused with power density, which refers to the ability of a battery to deliver a fixed amount of power over time. Nichicon batteries offer exceptional gravimetric and volumetric energy densities. This allows customers to increase the energy content of their battery packs without increasing weight, or to reduce battery pack size to achieve a given energy content....

Hobart Solar Panels – Why You Should Consider Installing Solar Panels in Your Hobart Home

Image
Solar energy reduces your reliance on fossil fuels and is an excellent way to save money on electricity bills. It also reduces carbon emissions, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional power sources. Prices for solar systems have been on a downward trajectory in Hobart and Tasmania for several years. This makes them an affordable option for many households. Reduced Carbon Emissions Unlike fossil fuel energy, solar panels produce little carbon dioxide. According to the IPCC, rooftop solar has a carbon footprint of 41 grams per kWh of electricity produced, and the figure could come down even further with advances in technology. Additionally, solar panel systems help to reduce household energy bills. If the system generates more energy than it consumes, homeowners can choose to send the excess power back into the grid for bill credits. In Tasmania, the average home with a solar system saves up to $45,000 over its lifespan, and the savings are compounded w...

Solar Australia Feed-In Tariff

Image
Hobart solar system installation owners can get paid for surplus energy sent back into the grid with a feed-in tariff. However, it’s important to understand how the tariff works so you can make informed decisions about your solar system size. Like most places in Australia, north-facing solar panels are the way to go for maximum output. But in Tasmania, east-facing systems can also produce well. Reduce your power bills With 3.8 to 4 hours of peak sunlight on average, a typical Hobart home can produce between 20 and 30 kWh a day with a 7 kW system. Combined with lower electricity consumption in winter – due to reverse cycle air conditioning – homeowners can achieve great savings on their power bills. In the 7000 postcode area, households with solar systems are currently generating $2,225,320 of energy at retail prices a year! This is a significant reduction in carbon emissions and helps to make our homes cleaner and greener. Depending on your location and the size of your solar...

Battery Point in Hobart, Tasmania

Battery Testing Battery testing is essential for a wide range of commercial industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical devices. Rigorous testing ensures that batteries are safe, durable, and long-lasting before they end up in the vehicles, devices, or energy storage systems that consumers use daily. A battery testing lab requires specialized equipment, such as a data logger or an environmental chamber. These specialized workspaces simulate different environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, to evaluate batter...
