An EcoSmart Solar Power system converts the suns light into electricity to help you generate clean, environmentally friendly energy for your home. The Inverter converts the DC power from the panels into AC power, which your home can use or send back to the grid. It is vital to get a high quality inverter using the latest technology, to maximise the energy your panels produce.

Inverter

All inverters feature a large, easy to read screen so you can instantly observe and see performance history of your energy system. Whether it be looking at this minute or this year, the inbuilt memory ensures you’ll always be in touch with your system. This enables you to maximise the energy you feed back into the grid.

Inbuilt smarts also include a sophisticated self diagnosis which conveniently displays messages on the screen.

  • Dual input section to process two strings with independent MPPT (3000W models and above)
  • High speed, advanced MPPT controls for maximum energy collection
  • LCD graphic display with integrated data logger*
  • Transformerless operation for highest effi ciency - up to 96%
  • True sine wave output
  • Embedded RS232 and RS485 serial links and remote communication options (PLM, dial-up modem, GSM and ethernet)

*Data logger on some models only

Smart controls

All inverters feature a large easy to read LCD screen so you can instantly observe and see performance history of your energy system. Whether it be looking at this minute or this year the inbuilt data logger ensures you’ll always be in touch with your system enabling you to really maximise the energy you feed back into the grid. Inbuilt smarts also include sophisticated self diagnosis which conveniently displays messages on the screen.

Best in class communication capabilities

Easily link your home computer to your inverter by the built in RS232 & RS485 serial ports so you can view and record your power generation.

Moreover the Easy control system (on demand) allows remote monitoring of the installation through Internet, analogic or GSM modems.

How does solar power work?

EcoSmart How Does Solar Work

How do I make money from solar?

What is a feed-in tariff?

A feed-in tariff is offered by each of the State Governments and utility suppliers. They pay you a premium rate for electricity generated by your solar PV system that is fed back into the grid and offsets the need to generate it at the power stations.

Net Tariff

A net feed-in tariff is when you’re paid a premium rate for any excess electricity (whatever you don’t use) that’s fed back into the grid. The less power you use during the day the more gets fed back into the grid.

Net Tariff: Solar generation supply and demand

Ecosmart Solar Generation

 

Surplus electricity generated during the day is exported (sold) and credited to your account at a premium rate.

How much power does it actually make?

Data Source: PV-GC spreadsheet based on the CEC GC Design Guidelines.

PV Array 1kWp facing true north and a tilt angle of 20° with an average inverter / wiring effi ciency – 0.92, using long term average solar irradiation and temperature data from the Australian Solar Radiation Data Handbook. A typical Australian house consumes around 18 kilowatt hours (kWh) per day so a 1-2kW system displaces an average of 25-40% of your average electricity bill. Solar panels produce more energy in summer than they do in winter.
