Every system significantly reduces your electricity bills and carbon emissions, depending on your home’s location, energy usage, and solar system quality. Get helpful advice on the best options available by talking to a Solahart expert who can offer recommendations on the best residential solar power solution for your needs and budget.
Highly efficient residential solar panels (like Solahart Silhouette N-Type monocrystalline cells) generate extraordinary power output using much less space. Enphase microinverters optimise power generation, significantly improving performance on partly shaded roofs and during periods of low radiation intensity, like early morning or late afternoon.
State-of-the-art bifacial solar panel technology also allows our Silhouette panels to generate solar power from both the front and the back, maximising energy yield and efficiency.
Combine these with energy storage options from the latest in lithium-ion home batteries (like the Tesla Powerwall 3 or Solahart PowerStore), which store large amounts of excess energy for night use or back up protection.
Microinverters from leading brands like SolarEdge and GoodWe boost solar performance, ensuring safer low-voltage operation and allowing panel-level monitoring. Microinverters radically extend your system’s life through reduced stress and equipment failure.
Further, your storage can be matched to periods of highest demand with a home energy monitoring and management system, bringing greater energy independence and savings to your household.
We have a range of payment & finance options available that make it easier than ever before to stop paying for electricity!

Solar energy is a popular option for many EV owners, and residential solar panels are becoming more common in Australian homes. However, many homeowners don’t utilise this energy to its full potential. Without a solar battery, any excess energy is usually sent back to the grid. There are several reasons why investing in a solar […]

Certified installers of residential solar typically take 1-2 days to mount panels, connect the inverter, and ensure compliance with safety standards. After installation, grid connection approval and meter updates may take 1-3 weeks. There is usually minimum disruption to your home during the install process. On activation you’ll receive a personalised demonstration on how to use your equipment and system monitoring.
Solahart provides a 30 year warranty on our premium residential solar panels. Regular panels can last 25-30 years but they may continue to produce power at a reduced level of efficiency after that time. Regular maintenance helps maximise both lifespan and efficiency. Inverters tend to last 10-15 years and may need replacement during the system’s lifespan – and, if you have a storage battery, it will last between 5 and 15 years depending on the brand and its level of usage.
You can monitor your solar power system’s performance using a mobile app or online dashboard provided by your inverter or battery system (e.g., Enphase, SolarEdge). Real-time and historical data on energy generation, usage, and grid exports help you manage your power generation and storage requirements. Some systems will also send alerts when there is a fault or output failure, helping your system to run more efficiently over time. Your Solahart technician will show you how to access and make the most of these tools when your system is activated.
Space permitting, you can easily add more solar panels or energy storage to your system later on. A system expansion requires sufficient roof space for additional panels and an inverter with the capacity to handle the extra power generation. It’s important that your power system is created in a modular format (especially battery storage) so that expansion can be easily installed using the right equipment. Talk to your installer about future-proofing your investment if you expect your needs may change over time.
As a Clean Energy Council Accredited Installer, Solahart gives you access to government incentives and rebates on solar power for residential properties.
The Australian government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) provides purchase price rebates for eligible properties, depending on factors like system size and location.
Eligible homeowners with an annual household income below $180,000 can receive up to $4,000 to offset the cost of installing solar battery storage. Homeowners also earn credits for any excess solar energy exported to the grid with feed-in tariffs. Rates vary by energy retailer.
In addition, landlords can apply for grants up to $3,500 to install solar panels on their rental properties.
To find out about eligibility for any of these schemes, visit the Queensland Government’s official solar information page: Solar power for your home | Homes and housing – Queensland Government.
