Government Incentive Programs
What is the Solar for Apartment Program?
What is Next Gen Battery Program? The ACT government offers the $25 million Next Gen program, initially set up in early 2016. Registered residents will be able to enjoy up to $3500 rebate off batteries if joining the program before 31 August 2022. This program aims to stimulate the implementation of distributed solar energy storage in the ACT, as well as to extend the influence of ACT’s world leadership position in renewable energy. What is the eligibility criteria for a rebate on solar batteries? Paired with solar panels Connected to the grid Not received a rebate from the Next Gen scheme previously Within the ACT (This includes Hall, Tharwa and Oaks Estate, but not Jervis Bay Territory) For more information, please visit the Next Gen Energy Storage Program What are the benefits of taking part in the program? It is a new way to electrify and store renewable energy, and move it to where it’s needed in order to unlock a green and sustainable future of the ACT. This often means you don’t need to buy so much electricity from the grid as they are generally more expensive. You could still have power during an outage or when the sun isn’t shining.

The ACT government’s Sustainable Household Scheme is a fantastic endeavor to make solar accessible to everyone. However, there are a lot of questions about this plan. The following are some frequently asked questions that can assist you in learning more about the scheme.
Renewable Energy Source
What can be a better benefaction for Mother Earth other than healing it from the debasement that it has undergone? We can adopt many ways to unchain our mother Earth from the chaos. Indeed, cutting our carbon footprint and going solar can be one of them. One of our primary concerns is the budget when deciding to go solar, right? For instance, companies are often selling solar panels at exorbitant prices. And it can be out of budget for quite a few people who want to go solar but don’t have enough resources to do so. The governments wish to aid such people, which is to their advantage in the long run as well. It can help the countries to become power-independent and increase their economic stature. ACT’s government also spends a lot in bringing such solar schemes that are very helpful for the residents. These government initiatives can aid individuals to install the solar system in their residential setting without worrying about the cost. Sustainable Household Scheme is one such initiative that can help people go solar without thinking about their pockets.
Act’s Government initiative of giving interest-free loans is a great help for people. The individuals who want to have a solar system ensconce in their residential areas but could not do so due to budget constraints can benefit themselves through Sustainable Household Scheme. Mondiaux can help its customers to attain interest-free loans for their solar needs. The following lines will elucidate how our team works once you select us for getting your solar system.

Normally the number of solar panels installed on the roof is matched to the solar inverter size. The total number of panels is calculated by dividing the inverter power rating by the chosen solar panel power. This was often the practice carried out by some solar designers in the past. If you have been in the solar industry, you probably heard of the idea of “inverter oversizing“.
1. Do solar panels work in the winter? Yes, solar panels do work in the winter. It doesn’t matter how hot or cold it is. In fact, they can be more efficient in colder temperatures as long as they receive adequate sunlight. 2. Will snow cover affect my solar panels’ performance? Snow can affect solar panel performance if it covers the panels completely, but most modern solar panels are designed to be self-cleaning and will shed snow and ice on their own. Even a small amount of sunlight can generate enough heat to warm up a solar panel and help it in melting the snow. This is because solar panels are designed to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. As they absorb sunlight, they also absorb heat, which can help raise their temperature and melt any snow or ice that may have accumulated on them. Additionally, snow can reflect sunlight back onto the panels, which can increase their output. 3. How much energy can I expect my solar panels to produce in the winter? The amount of energy your solar panels produce in the winter will depend on factors such as location, weather conditions, and the angle and orientation of your panels. However, in general, you can expect your panels to produce less energy in the winter than they would during the summer months. 4. Do I need to make any adjustments to my solar panel system for winter? In most cases, you do not need to make any major adjustments to your solar panel system for winter. However, you may want to clear any snow or debris from around your panels to maximize their exposure to sunlight. 5. Can I still use solar power during a winter power outage? Yes, if you have a solar power system with a battery backup, you can still use solar power during a winter power outage. However, if your solar panels are grid-tied and do not have a battery backup, they will not provide power during a blackout. 6. Will my energy bills be lower if I use solar power in the winter? Your energy bills may be lower if you use solar power in the winter as long as your solar panels are generating enough energy to meet your household’s needs.
