Turn Your Roof Into A Source Of Clean Energy
Solar power gives Australian households the opportunity to generate electricity directly from the sun.
A residential solar PV system uses photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity for everyday household use. Depending on your system and energy requirements, excess electricity may be exported to the grid or stored in a compatible home battery for later use.
With the right system design, your home can make greater use of renewable energy while reducing the amount of electricity it needs to purchase from the grid.
A Residential Solar System Designed Around Your Home
Every home uses electricity differently.
At Cosmic Solar, we take these factors into consideration when helping you explore your residential solar options.
The size of your household, your daily energy consumption, roof orientation, available roof space and future energy plans can all influence the type of solar system that may be suitable.
Our aim is to help you choose a system that aligns with how your household actually uses energy rather than simply choosing a standard package.

RESIDENTIAL SOLAR FAQs
What size solar system does my home need?
The appropriate system size depends on factors including your household electricity consumption, available roof space, system orientation and your energy goals. A suitable system should be assessed based on the individual property rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Is residential solar worth considering in Australia?
Solar can allow households to generate electricity on-site from sunlight and potentially reduce the amount of electricity they purchase from the grid. The financial outcome depends on factors such as system cost, electricity usage, solar generation, tariffs and available incentives.
Can I add a battery to my solar system?
In many cases, a battery can be added to a residential solar system, provided the existing system and electrical setup are compatible. The suitability should be assessed before installation.
What happens to excess solar electricity?
Depending on your system configuration and electricity arrangements, excess electricity may be exported to the grid or stored in a compatible battery.
Can solar work when the weather is cloudy?
Solar panels can still generate electricity in cloudy conditions, although their output is generally lower than under strong sunlight.
How long does a residential solar system last?
Solar components have different expected operating lives and warranty periods. The lifespan of a system depends on the individual products, installation quality, environmental conditions and ongoing maintenance.
