Geographe Green supplies and installs solar panels for energy-conscious homes, businesses, schools and local government. We service the south west including but not limited to Busselton, Capel, Bunbury, Australind, Margaret River, Yallingup, Dunsborough and Donnybrook.

Four of our preferred brands of solar panels are Sharp, SilexSolar, Solarfun and Astronergy, and we can source other brands if requested.

What is the cost?
Most people want to know how much it's going to cost them to go solar. It is difficult to work out payback times as each individual household uses differing amounts of electricity, but with the RECs multiplier and the WA State Government net feed-in tariff (see rebates), you can expect a 5-9 year payback time, depending on how much electricity you use. 

A 1.5kW system (at today's RECs value, and if you are eligible for Solar Credits -) starts from $2553 (February 2012). Please note that RECs values change weekly and so we cannot guarantee this price. 

This is using quality European inverters and Asian panels.

How do solar panels work?
Solar panels, photovoltaic cells, or solar PVs are a renewable form of energy that converts light energy to DC electricity. Solar PV modules, or solar panels, are made up of individual cells, have no moving parts, do not rely on non-renewable fossil fuels to create energy and produce no pollution/greenhouse gases.


What are the benefits of renewable energy?
The benefits of renewable energy, including solar panels, are far-reaching. Renewable energy is inexhaustible and will never run out, unlike fossil fuels that have taken millions of years to be created by natural processes and have taken only 100 or so years to come close to exhaustion. The negative impacts of fossil fuels are well known - they are polluting and cause human health problems, create greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change; mines damage landscapes, require huge areas of cleared land and use a lot of water; and transportation impacts including oil spills, to name just a few. Also, once oil, gas, uranium and coal runs out, it's gone forever!

Renewable energy is non-polluting and doesn't create greenhouse gases, is free once installed, isn't dependent on fluctuating oil prices or vulnerable to political instability, and best of all, you can be assured that you are contributing to the ongoing wellbeing of our planet and future generations! Installing solar panels on your roof will have the added benefit of reducing your electricity bills.
