How do solar panels work?
Solar panels allow you to harness the sun’s energy to efficiently power your home or business. The energy collected during the day can be stored and used when you need it. This minimises your reliance on grid electricity and the nasty prices that come with it. Solar energy is also renewable and has a lower carbon footprint than Australia’s non-renewable electricity grid.
This means that not only is solar power more environmentally friendly, but In the long term, it will save you money by reducing your electricity bills.
At Coughran Electrical, we’ll inspect your property and advise you of the best system to suit your lifestyle and budget. Our team will work with you from the initial consultation, through to the ongoing maintenance of your solar system.

Advantages of using solar energy
- Solar energy has the lowest negative effect on the environment in comparison to other energy sources. It doesn’t pollute water, nor does it produce greenhouse gases. It also needs minimal water to maintain.
- Solar energy does not have any noise pollution – another impressive benefit since many solar panel installations take place in relatively urban areas.
- Minimise your energy bill: Since you’re generating your own electricity, you’ll be using a lot less electricity from an official energy supplier. This means that you’ll automatically save on your spending. In other words, the more energy your solar panels produce, the less you’ll need from the suppliers.
- More energy production during peak hours: We’re lucky here in Australia that we get plenty of sun in the summer. This means that you will produce more energy during the day.
- Everyone can use solar energy: Solar energy is infinite, and it can reach anywhere the sun touches.
- No running costs: After installation, you won’t need to worry about operating costs.
- Low maintenance: Besides making sure that your solar panel gets enough sunlight, you’ve got nothing else to do.
