A solar battery is a storage device that stores energy generated by solar panels. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, and this electricity can either be used immediately or stored in a solar battery for later use. This allows homeowners and businesses to use solar energy even when the sun isn’t shining, like during the night, on cloudy days, or during power outages.

We have even more examples and reviews from hundreds of customers living in Newcastle who now use solar energy to reduce their power bills.
Michael’s energy bills are around $800-$900 in Spring and in Summer they are around $1,400. After having Solahart Newcastle install solar panels at his property, Michael expects to receive a bill with zero balance with part of their gas bill paid off due to the arrangement that’s been set up with their provider where any surplus from the electricity will pay off the gas.
Rod had solar panels installed to help with he cost of his heater pump for his pool along with saving money on his electricity bill. After the first quarter Rod didn’t have to pay anything on his bill and received money back from AGL.
Nathan no longer wanted to pay large energy bills and was really impressed that the Solahart Panels were slick and blended straight into his roof. Nathan calculated that he would pay off the cost of his solar panels in two to four years with the savings from his current bills.
Jackie is one of our happy customers who heard about Solahart Newcastle from her neighbour.

With Solahart Newcastle, every solar panel installation is a meticulous process of planning, execution, and support. We walk with you from the initial consultation, through the customisation of solutions, to installation and beyond.
Solar panels that are installed on the roof of your property can generate electricity from sunlight. Each solar panel is made up of photovoltaic cells which collect the light from the sun that is converted into DC current. Solahart also installs an inverter that can convert this to 240V AC so the energy can be used to power your home.
The amount of electricity you can produce from your solar panel installation depends on the number of panels, their efficiency, the size of the inverter, the orientation of your roof and the amount of sunlight you receive at your location.
A solar power installation does keep your home connected to the public power grid so that when you generate more electricity than you need it can be fed back into the grid.
Alternatively, you can purchase more electricity when your solar panels aren’t able to generate as much electricity as you need.
To work out how much solar power you need the first step is to understand how much electricity you use and when you use it during a normal day.
So for example a typical home uses 20kWh of energy a day, so a 5kW solar system could meet most of the daytime power needs in that situation.
Although you may use more than that in any given day or want to store power for use at night time (or cloudy days) which would require battery storage systems that are charged by the solar power panels during the day.
We also get asked how many solar panels will be needed, but it is important to remember it is the power output of your whole solar system that is more important than the size or number of panels you have.
The higher each panel’s nominal power rating (and actual power output), the fewer panels you’ll need (or the more power you’ll generate). If you have plenty of roof space, you might find it more economical to buy cheaper panels with lower efficiency and just use more of them.

There are a number of different special offers, rebates and package deals that are available on solar powered products. Different brands, local government or even federal governments will help Australian’s make the switch to solar to reduce their power bills.
We can sell to home owners or businesses as well as install and set up a system that suits your requirements. Take a look at some of the current solar offers on panels, hot water systems and more.
Solar PV systems generate electricity from sunlight. The solar panels are made up of many photovoltaic (PV) cells which collect the light from the sun and convert this into DC current. This is fed through an inverter and converted to 240V AC to power your home. The amount of electricity you can produce depends on the number of panels and their efficiency, the size of the inverter, the orientation of your roof and the amount of sunlight in your location.
This electricity can be used immediately within the home or fed into a battery or the National Electricity Grid (grid).
An inverter is an electronic device that converts the DC power generated by the solar panels into AC power at the correct voltage for supply to the grid. It also provides equipment protection and safety features.
The National Electricity Grid is the network of wires that delivers electricity from generators to homes and businesses around Australia. When you install a solar power system you become a generator of clean renewable energy.
Depending on the size of the system and site constraints, it can take one of our teams half to a full day to install a system. Once our work onsite is complete, we send off your paperwork to your energy provider on your behalf to have your net-metering undertaken. This process is controlled solely by the energy provider.
Yes. Solahart Newcastle can supply you with a Battery Ready PV system which enables a Tesla Powerwall to be installed at a later date.
For residential installations, we currently offer a finance plan which makes the switch to solar easier with flexible payment plans. We also accept cash, cheque and credit card payments.

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 solar panels and the feed-in tariff offered by your electricity supplier. We will assess these factors and give you an estimate of your savings as part of a free in-home solar assessment.
Yes, because the inverter will only produce power when it is connected to the grid supply.
Solar panel technology has improved significantly over the past few years. Many manufacturers that were selling panels of questionable quality are no longer in business.
Solahart only uses PV components of the highest quality — including the Solahart Silhouette panel which are covered by our 25-year Australian product warranty.
Payback periods may vary depending on the applicable feed-in tariff, householder electricity usage profile and size and cost of the PV system installed.
We will assess these factors and give you an estimate of your payback period as part of a free in-home solar assessment.
A feed-in tariff is the rate paid by the electrical utility for each kilowatt-hour of electricity your solar power system feeds into the grid.
STCs are part of the government’s commitment to renewable energy. STCs are created when you install and commission qualifying solar hot water, solar/wind power systems or residential solar power systems.
Each STC represents 1 MWh (Megawatt hour) of energy produced. The number of STCs you are eligible for varies
depending on the size of the system you install and your location.
STCs have a market value (which may vary over time) and are tradable; they can be sold, or used to get a discount or cash. Solahart offers an up front discount on the price of a solar power system in return for the STCs.
With solar hot water, heat is captured directly from the sun through collectors installed on the roof and is transferred to the fluid circulating inside. Water is then stored in an insulated tank for future use.
Solar power (PV) converts light from the sun into electricity. The amount generated depends on the number of panels and size of the inverter. Any excess power can be sold back into the grid or stored in a battery, while additional electricity can be bought from the grid when the sun is not shining
