Did you know that in 2022 <\/span>32%<\/span> of Australia’s total electricity generation came from renewable energy sources?.<\/span> Let\u2019s take a look at some of the ways O\u2019Brien electricians and plumbers are using eco-friendly solar technology.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/b>Solar Power<\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>Electricians commonly promote sustainability through solar power, offering customers the chance to enhance their energy savings with solar storage systems.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>When utilising solar panels, surplus solar power typically goes back to the grid when the sun sets<\/span>. Utilising solar batteries or self-consumption is a clever method to make the most of the power generated during the day. Solar batteries enable you to store unused power for use at night or during adverse weather conditions. Many O\u2019Brien Electrical businesses specialise in solar installations and can help you from the initial design to the completion of solar projects.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/b>Solar Powered EV Chargers<\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>Now, more than ever we are opting for eco-friendly solutions to help reduce our carbon footprint. An example of this is sustainable EV Charging stations that are solar powered. You may be able to power your EV Charging stations using your home solar panels. Using self generated solar electricity can save you on energy costs.<\/span> If you’re interested in learning more contact your <\/span>local <\/span>O\u2019Brien Electrician<\/span><\/a> today.<\/span>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>Solar thermal heaters<\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>How are you heating your household water? Not only can you use solar power to heat your home, you can also use it to heat your water. If you are using gas or electric heating sources for this, you may want to consider solar. Using solar to heat your water uses less <\/span>natural resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solar thermal heaters heat water using the sun\u2019s thermal energy, conducted through solar thermal panels. The panel consists of tubes filled with a liquid, often glycol with antifreeze. The Sun heats the liquid, which then warms your hot water tank.<\/span>
\n<\/b>
