What is the lifespan of residential solar panels?

Most residential solar panels should last around 25-30 years. We offer a 25-year warranty on most of our solar panels, giving you peace of mind that your new system will last.

Can solar panels power a home during a blackout?

Yes. As long as your solar panels can produce energy, a blackout won’t affect your home’s power. However, if a blackout occurs in the evening when you draw power from the grid, you’ll still be affected by a power outage. If you are considering battery storage solutions, you can power your home anytime during the day or night.

Are solar panels effective in cloudy weather?

Many solar panels are still effective in cloudy conditions; however, their output generally decreases when the weather is overcast. Solar panels work best in direct sunlight, so if anything blocks the sun’s rays, such as clouds or nearby trees, your panels won’t produce as much energy.

How does solar energy reduce environmental impact?

When you draw your electricity from the grid, you mostly use power generated by burning fossil fuels. Using clean, green solar energy produced by solar panels reduces your carbon footprint by not relying on coal burning caused by burning fossil fuels.

What are the financial incentives for installing solar panels in Perth?

There are plenty of ways to offset the cost of your solar panels. The biggest incentive is the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), a federal government initiative to reduce the upfront cost of installing a solar system. Each state has its own incentives, but they are usually targeted to more specific needs, such as low-income households or solar hot water system upgrades.

Can I install solar panels on a leased property?

In some cases, yes. However, the decision lies with the property owner. If you’d like to install solar on a rented or leased property, submit a request to your property manager or landlord.

How much will I save with solar in Perth?

Average Perth households save $1,200–$2,000 per year with a 6.6kW system. With Perth's high solar irradiance and current incentives, most systems reach payback in about 3–4 years.

What size solar system do I need?

The right system size depends on your energy usage, roof space, and budget. During our free consultation, we assess your electricity consumption and recommend a solar package that maximises your savings.

Quality Tier 1 solar panels maintain more than 85% performance after 25 years and can continue producing clean electricity for 30 years or more. Perth's sunny climate supports long-term efficiency.

Do I need council approval to install solar panels in Perth?

Council approval is rarely required for residential installations. Vista Electrical Controls handles all Western Power applications and grid connection approvals on your behalf.

Yes. Installing solar improves energy efficiency and lowers running costs, which can help homes sell faster and at higher prices.
