Maximize your roof space with Solar Power Panels
Every inch of that 9.9 kW home solar power system is used. Love it

SunTech solar panels test vs SCHOTT solar panels test
The consumer products test foundation Öko Test in conjunction with Photon examined all major panels available on the biggest solar power market.
Here is the score:
1. SCHOTT test result: "very good"
2. SunTech test result: "insufficient", later revised to "good".
The panels examined were SunTech STP205-18/Ud and SCHOTT POLY 220
Key findings will be explained in the coming blog post.
The full test can be downloaded here. Not for free unfortunately, and in German.

Why i chose Schott solar panels
SCHOTT solar have a positive power tolerance only.
The weakest panel in the string defines the total capacity.
Ergo: With SCHOTT solar, I get what I pay for. Most solar panels have a negative power tolerance of up to -5%.
If you pay for a 1.5 kW system, it's very likely you'll end up with a 1.42 kW system. The bad thing, you'll never find out, unless you test each panel individually under standard test conditions.....
The difference with SCHOTT solar is, you have a positive power tolerance only. If you buy a 1.5 kW system, you will get a 1.5 kW system or potentially 3% more.

How does the Feed in Tarrif work in Victoria?
Victoria is on a net feed-in tarrif.
That means, the energy that's generated by the solar power system is fed into the house first. Whatever is not used, is fed into the grid.
For example: My 2.8 kW solar power system generates on average around 11.2 kWh of electricity per day.
During the day, me and my partner are at work, i.e. appliances like our fridge are using only 1.5 kWh.
That means, I can feed back 9.8 kWh into the grid, every day.
My total earnings/savings are then:
9.8 kWh x $0.66 = $ 6.47 per day
+ 1.5 kWh x $0.19 = $ 0.29 per day
Makes a total income of $ 6.76 per day or $ 2,467 per year.

Whats good about the Schott panels?
first of all - the fantastic look. Dark blue, light absorbant, anti-reflective, texturized tempered glass.
Cadmium-free! therefore environmentally friendly.
