FAQs
Star Plus Electrical services provide a wide range of electrical installation services including:
Out-dated switchboards are highly prone to short-circuits and older fuses can be more susceptible to catching fire. Also there is a chance of electrical shock with older boards. We keep you safe.
Henry in Greenacres - "We really appreciate your electrician calling beforehand confirming that he will be attending the job and stating how far he is from our home"
Kate in Parafield Gardens - Electrician Installed New Light Fittings "As I was advised over the phone, your electrician Anthony was fantastic! Arrived on time and I was most certainly impressed when he wore blue covers on his shoes to keep my house clean!"

Solar power systems use photovoltaic (PV) cells to produce electricity. When sunlight hits a solar power system, direct current (DC) electricity is produced. This is converted into 240V alternating current (AC) using an inverter. This electricity can be used immediately within the home or fed into the National Electricity Grid.
An inverter is an electronic device that converts the DC power generated by the modules into AC power at the correct voltage for supply to the grid. It also provides equipment protection and safety features.
Electricity generated by a solar power system is used to offset or replace the power that would normally be purchased from your electricity supplier - thereby reducing your power bills and saving money. This solar generated energy also avoids the harmful pollution caused by generating electricity from the burning of fossil fuels.
The savings on offer are very attractive and will go on for years. The amount you save will depend on your household's current electricity usage, the size of the solar system being installed, orientation and inclination of the modules and the feed-in tariff offered by your electricity supplier. Your local STAR PLUS consultant will assess these factors and give you an estimate of your savings.
To encourage households to install energy efficient technologies the government introduced Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STC's). A STC for a solar power system is the equivalent of 1 MWh of renewable energy produced over a fifteen-year period. Once created STCs can be sold, thereby making a solar power installation cheaper for the owner. The value of STCs is not fixed and varies from time to time. Check out the STC calculator on our website.
Yes, because the inverter will only produce power when it is connected to the grid supply.
A grid connected solar power system does not store energy. When you generate more power than you need, you supply the extra power into the grid. At times when you need more energy than you are producing, you draw the extra you need from the grid.
Our smallest system requires a roof area of around 11 square metres. This will generate around 30% of the average family's energy needs each year. Our system sizes go up to approximately 5kW. The more powerful the system, the more solar modules and roof space are needed.
Solar power systems work best on an unshaded north-facing roof. It is also possible to install a solar power system on an east or west facing roof, however this will reduce the performance of the system.
