– This page talks about the information that True Value Solar may provide you from time to time about our products and services.

– ‘Information’ could be information that is on this page, as well as drawings, measurements, dimensions, graphs, tables, illustrations, specifications, calculations, data and other information.

– We may provide you with Information in a variety of mediums, including over the telephone, in advertising materials, offers, our solar calculator, our website, an order summary, technical and other documentation.

Our Commitment

We will always take due care in the preparation of Information. However, you should make your own assessment of the Information and our products and services to make sure that they are right for you and suit your individual requirements.

 

Sometimes, we may need to update the Information. This could be for a variety of reasons including that the assumptions or parameters that have become outdated or an element contained within an assumption or parameter is no longer accurate. It could be because of changes in technology, environmental conditions and other factors. It could also be because we introduce new products and services or there are updates or modifications to our existing products and services. For all of these reasons, the Information is subject to change at any time without notice.

 

Other than any guarantees required to be provided by us under the Australian Consumer Law:

 

– we make no representation, statement, warranty, guarantee, express or implied, concerning the accuracy, content, reliability, legality or completeness of the Information, or, that the Information is fit for you or your business or operation’s purposes

 

– we will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense, whether it arises directly or naturally in the ordinary course of events, or indirectly from the events, such as special or consequential damage, loss of opportunity, profit, revenue or good will that you and/or your firm and/or your company may suffer arising out of or in connection with any reliance on the Information.

Our representation that we are Australia’s largest solar company is based on deemed solar certificated installations between 1 January 2014 and 30 November 2016.

Solar Calculator and Solar Savings Assumptions

Please note that this calculation is an estimate and does not guarantee actual system production or savings. The system design may change based on a detailed engineering site audit. Actual system production and savings will vary based on final system design, size, configuration, utility rates, applicable rebates and your energy usage. Utility rates, charges and fee structures imposed by your utility are not affected by this proposal and are subject to change in the future at the discretion of your utility.

 

Feed in tariff rates per state used:

 

‘NSW’ => 11.1, cents,

‘QLD’ => 10.6, cents,

‘SA’ => 16.0, cents,

‘VIC’ => 11.3, cents,

‘ACT’ => 11.3, cents,

‘TAS’ => 8.929, cents,

‘NT’ => 25.67, cents,

‘WA’ => 7.135, cents.

 

The Standard Test Condition rating (STC) assumes a standard set of optimal operating conditions (25°C cell temperature, irradiance of 1000 W/m² and an air mass of 1.5). The STC rating is most often used by manufacturers to classify the power output of PV modules. To calculate the system’s energy production for any future year, the expected degradation in system performance is included. Energy Output is calculated based on historical solar irradiance at the given location. A typical meteorological year is selected using statistical methods. Factors including panel tilt, orientation (azimuth), and system efficiency are considered.

 

System efficiency is estimated to account for losses caused by a variety of factors. These factors include intermittent shading, cable losses, dirt, scheduled downtime, manufacturer tolerances, inverter efficiency for DC to AC conversion (this does not affect off-grid DC only systems), battery round trip efficiency, and other factors.

 

Utility electricity price inflation is adjusted based on the given location. (Figures from NATIONAL ELECTRICITY FORECASTING REPORT June 2016 by AEMO.)

Australian Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are an incentive provided under the Renewable Energy Target. One certificate is equal to one megawatt hour of eligible renewable electricity either generated or displaced by the installed system.
