However, with potential savings on electricity bills and available incentives, solar panels offer a compelling long-term investment. Contact Flo Solar and Electrical for a customized quote tailored to your needs in Bega Valley, Merimbula, Tura Beach, and surrounding areas.

Solar panels are designed to be durable and reliable, with most manufacturers offering warranties of 20 to 25 years on performance. With proper installation and maintenance, solar panels can continue to generate electricity efficiently for decades beyond their warranty period. Flo Solar and Electrical provides high-quality solar panel installations built to withstand the test of time in the diverse climate of the Bega Valley, 

Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspections to check for debris, dirt, or shading that may affect performance are recommended. Cleaning panels with water and a soft brush can help maintain efficiency. Additionally, monitoring system performance and scheduling professional inspections can ensure optimal operation. Flo Solar and Electrical offers maintenance services to keep your solar panels performing at their best in Merimbula, Tura Beach, Bega Valley and surrounding areas. 

The size of the battery needed depends on factors such as your energy consumption, backup power duration, and battery type. Flo Solar and Electrical can help you determine the appropriate battery size for your home in Bega Valley and surrounds. We will assess your energy needs and recommend a battery storage solution that ensures reliable backup power during grid outages or periods of low solar production. 

While solar panels perform best in direct sunlight, they can still generate electricity under cloudy or overcast conditions. However, energy production may be reduced compared to sunny days. Additionally, battery storage systems can store excess energy generated during sunny periods for use during cloudy days or at night, ensuring continuous power supply. Contact Flo Solar and Electrical to learn more about how solar panels can work for you in the diverse weather conditions of Bega Valley and surrounding areas. 

 Off-grid electric solutions are independent energy systems that operate autonomously from the main electrical grid. These systems are designed to provide reliable power to properties located in remote or rural areas where grid connectivity may be limited or unavailable 

 Yes, off-grid electric solutions are particularly relevant for properties in remote or rural areas where access to the main electrical grid may be challenging. Flo Solar and Electrical specialize in designing and installing off-grid systems tailored to the unique requirements of properties in regions such as Bega Valley, Eurobodalla, and Monaro. 

 Off-grid systems typically consist of solar panels, battery storage systems, backup generators, and energy management systems. Solar panels capture sunlight to generate electricity, which is stored in batteries for later use. Backup generators provide additional power when renewable energy production is limited, and energy management systems optimize system performance and efficiency.
