Frequently Asked Questions
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels typically last between 25 and 30 years, with most maintaining around 80% of their original output by year 25. The quality of the panels, correct installation, and environmental conditions all influence longevity. While performance may decline slightly over time, well-maintained systems continue to generate power efficiently. Inverters and other system components may require replacement earlier, usually every 10 to 15 years, to ensure the system continues to operate effectively.
Do I need council approval to install solar panels?
In most cases, council approval is not required for rooftop solar panel installations on residential properties. However, exceptions may apply if your property is heritage-listed, located in a conservation area, or the panels significantly alter the appearance of the building. It’s important to check with your local council for any specific guidelines or restrictions before beginning an installation to ensure full compliance with local planning and building regulations.
What affects the performance of solar panels?
Several factors impact solar panel performance, including roof orientation, tilt angle, shading from trees or buildings, temperature, and cleanliness of the panels. North-facing roofs with minimal shade typically yield the best results in Australia. Dirty or obstructed panels can reduce energy output, so periodic cleaning and professional inspection help maintain optimal efficiency. Quality of installation and the type of inverter used also play a role in long-term performance and energy yield.
