Townsville Solar Panel Installation Specialists
Solar panels are the most critical part of any solar power installation. Choosing the right panel brand and inverter for your circumstances is just as important as choosing the right solar installer. You need someone who knows the best angles, the optimal directions. Someone who is known for their reliable and quality installations.
As a long standing member of the Clean Energy and Smart Energy Councils, Housing Industry Association and Master Builders Association, SuperGreen Solutions is the accredited and experienced team you have been looking for.
We supply and install industry leading solar panel brands, including Canadian Solar, QCells, and JA Solar. For solar inverters we rely on Sungrow, and Fronius technologies.

When the sun hits the solar panels, the sunlight particles are converted into electrons of direct current (DC) electricity. Once this power is converted, the electrons begin to flow from the solar panel and into the inverter, ready to be used in your home.
Given most homes and businesses are connected to (and wired for) an electricity grid that supplies alternating current (AC) electricity, power generated by solar power systems needs to be transformed from DC electricity into AC electricity. We achieve this by using an inverter.
Homes and businesses with solar PV systems utilise solar power before acquiring electricity from the grid, meaning less electricity purchased and lower electricity bills.
We have a more detailed overview of How Solar Panels Work in our knowledgebase.
Solar panel system sizes are measured in kilowatts and are dependent on where you live, which direction your roof faces, and how clear your access is to the sun.
Taking this, we calculate how many solar panels you need by multiplying your household’s hourly energy requirement by the peak sunlight hours for your area and dividing that by a panel’s wattage.
Each kilowatt of your solar panel system will produce between 3 and 5 kWh of clean, renewable energy per day.
Generally, industry-leading solar panels made from suitable components can last at least 25 years if properly maintained.
Over time, they lose efficiency as they suffer degradation from their ongoing exposure to the sun and outdoor weather.
A solar inverter is an appliance, about the size of a small medicine cabinet, commonly installed close to the metre box.
Input feeds are run from the solar panel system to the inverter. An output feed directs energy to the meter box, where it can be separated into power needed inside the household and excess energy that can be sold to utility companies.
Given solar panels capture and generate electricity in Direct Current (DC) form and appliances in the premise use 240V Alternating Current (AC), a solar inverter ‘inverts’ one type of power to the other, protecting your devices and grid connection in the process.
Some inverters can be powered by solar PV systems, meaning they can continue to run in extended blackout situations.
A solar feed-in tariff (FiT) is a credit you receive for any excess solar energy your PV system generates and exports back to the power grid. Feed-in tariffs are typically between 8 – 16c per kilowatt-hour (kWh) however can vary in each state depending on your retailer.
Your feed-in tariff is a critical component in determining your solar savings and payback period.
Many utility companies incorporate ‘time of use’ billing, also known as ‘flexible pricing’. This is similar to the peak/off-peak price of energy many will be familiar. These pricing plans are the opposite of a ‘flat’ or ‘fixed’ pricing per kWh pricing model.
By incorporating solar battery storage, solar power can be captured and sold back to the grid during peak times, thereby maximising the return on your investment.
In business for over 25 years, SuperGreen Solutions has become one of the most well known, trusted and respected solar installers in Townsville.
