Confused about solar energy?
Let us tell you all you need to know based on our industry experience and your individual needs.
THE BASICS
Solar energy, explained
01
What Is Solar Energy?
Solar energy is simply energy from the sun. By using solar photovoltaic panels, we can use this energy and turn it into green electricity for your home or business.
While the technology is complex, it's operation isn't. Modern solar systems are fully automatic and don't require any upkeep.
02
How Can It Save Me Money?
When you switch to solar with Solar Flex, there are no up-front costs, the switch is just a bill swap. We pride ourselves on complete transparency with our services. Contact us today to find out more about what we offer!

03
Why The Low Efficiencies?
You will see efficiencies of anywhere between 15-22% for modern solar panels. You're probably thinking that this is very low!
However, because of technical limits, the maximum efficiency any solar panel can ever achieve is around 33.3%, which makes that panel efficiency look a lot healthier.
THE SYSTEM
What's Included in a Solar System?
01
Solar PV Panels
The main part of any solar system is of course the solar panels. The number of panels you need depends on how much energy you use and the suitability of your rooftop for solar energy.
A south-facing rooftop will require fewer panels than an east or west facing. Our energy consultants will advise you on the best design for your home.

02
Microinverters
Solar panels produce DC (Direct Current) electricity. However, most of our appliances use AC electricity. The inverters convert solar electricity from DC to AC to be used by your home.
We only use microinverters, which means that every panel has an inverter attached. This is better when there is shading as each panel can operate independently.

03
Racking System
The solar PV panels and microinverters need to be attached to your rooftop. Racking systems are metal structures that are attached to your roof to secure the system in place.
We have different racking systems depending on the angle of your rooftop, which aim to maximize the amount of energy your solar panels receive.

What if my roof isn't suitable?
There is no cancellation penalty and your solar consultant will advise you through the whole process.
PAYING FOR SOLAR
What Payment Options Are Available?
Cash Payment
Pay for the whole system up front to ensure you get the most financial benefit. No loan fees and no interest rates. You pay the cost over several installments, with the final installment paid upon system installation.
Financing
You can finance your project through one of our financial partners. We have different loan terms suitable for every credit score. The loan payment is less than your monthly electricity bill and this difference is your savings by going solar!

Lease or PPA
If you do not qualify for incentives, or don't want to own your solar system, a lease or PPA might be for you. You rent the solar system and pay a monthly fee to use the electricity the system produces. After the term is finished, the system is returned to us.
