24-Oct-2009 Demand for a brand new highest efficiency solar electricity panel now available in Australia is booming, coinciding with the introduction of the new solar electricity rebate or “Solar Credits Scheme”.

This may partly be due to the abolishment of the $100k taxable income means test that governed the previous solar electricity rebate opening the rebate to a wider market.

The brand new 300W solar panel is 18.4% efficient rather than the standard 13-14%. This means more output from your system while taking up less roof space as a 1.5kW SunPower system takes up less area than a normal 1kW system. This will become even more important with the introduction of the improved solar buy-back scheme in just two months in January 2010. For those wanting to be installed and ready to take advantage of the new “feed-in-tariff”, of 60c per kilowatt hour for excess electricity fed into the grid, now is the time to order your system.

“Northern Beaches company SolarSwitch is proud to be the master dealer for this brand new highest efficiency 300W panel. It is proving extremely popular in the local area where people seem to be interested in the best quality available” Said Adam Tesoriero, Director of SolarSwitch.

The new panel is also designed to work more efficiently in hotter climates like Australia’s, where as standard solar panels perform less efficiently when temperatures become extreme. They are also specially designed to maximise energy production in low-light conditions.

The panel’s product warranty is at least double the standard panel product warranty, 10 years as opposed to 5 years, on top of the 25 year output warranty.

SolarSwitch has successfully installed over 1000 systems using quality equipment from reputable manufacturers and licensed, insured and BCSE accredited electricians.
