How can we help?

Can I get Solar Panels installed at my property? There are many benefits of having solar panels installed at your home. Environmental Impact - renewable generation reduces CO2 emissions that would otherwise be produced from fossil fuel generators. Reduce your energy bills - by generating your own power you simply end up buying less from us.  If you live in an Apartment Building (High Rise) you will not be able to have Solar Panels installed due to the logistics of metering and placement of the solar panels. If you live in a Townhouse or a single dwelling, solar panel installation will be possible.

What do I need to do?

• Check with your Owners Corporation, Strata, or Building/Property Manager to obtain for permission to install Solar panels on your roof.
• Once approval has been received, contact your preferred solar installer for a quote.
• Once a quote has been accepted and solar panels have been installed, your solar installer will need to submit the required solar installation paperwork through to the seene team at hello@seene.com.au and the applicable Distributor.
• One of the seene team will contact you regarding what solar feed-in tariff is available and have this added to your plan.

Solar Feed-in Tariffs

If your solar system generates more power than what you consume, typically the energy is exported to the grid and a Feed-in Tariff (FiT) may apply.

Please be aware that the FiT c/kWh rate you can receive varies depending on where you live and is reviewed annually. Please get in touch if you'd like to know what FiT your property is eligible for.

Battery If you have a battery it will start to store the surplus energy that would have otherwise been exported to the grid. The battery will typically dispatch that energy reserve during the evenings when the solar panels are not generating, to further reduce the amount of energy you buy from the grid. Depending on the size of your battery and the output of your panels, once the battery is fulled you may still export surplus to the grid and receive a FiT.

Handy Tips

An optimized Solar (and Battery) system is the key to sustainable energy and reducing costs at your home. Try to avoid buying a system too big for your needs, or consider a battery to store that excess.

Rooftop Solar is creating an oversupply that local infrastructure was not built to maintain. There are some areas around Australia that are now introducing limits, removing FiTs, or will charge customers when they export too much solar to the grid during certain times, which has been dubbed the Sun Tax.
