Do Solar Skylights Work At Night?

Posted on by James Marcialis

Yes, SolarBright’s solar skylights can work round the clock to provide day and night light. A battery-model solar skylight like SolarBright’s MaxBeam24 or MaxLED24 will supply you with 24 hours of light, ensuring your home or business is illuminated during the day and at night and protect you against blackouts.

Brightening Your Space with Skylights

Skylights are an excellent means of bringing natural light into your space. Traditional skylights are regarded as roof-built windows to increase natural light in the home, reduce the need for artificial lighting, and potentially cut energy bills. Thanks to their higher efficiency over traditional skylights, modern homes and businesses find value in tubular skylights. To learn more about tubular skylights read our blog An Excellent Alternative to Traditional Skylights.

A tubular skylight, like the MaxLight Tubular Skylight, collects natural sunlight through a dome installed on the rooftop and transmits the light through a metal tube designed for optimized reflection.

MaxLED24 Solar Skylights

It feels good to know that your skylight can brighten your home or business not only during the day but also at night. This is one advantage MaxLED24 solar skylights offer.

MaxLED24 solar skylights feature a solar panel, battery, and LED light. While a conventional skylight can only transmit sunlight into the home during the day, MaxLED24 solar skylight provides 24-hour light by powering the LED lights through the PV-generated energy stored in the battery.

  6. Incredible Warranty: MaxLED24 skylight offers a 10-year warranty on the solar panels and 3 years on the battery and light to protect your investment.

MaxBeam24 Day and Night Skylight: the skylight without equal

The MaxBeam24 converts a MaxLight tubular skylight into a true 24-hour source of light. It acts as a tubular skylight during the day and thanks to it’s solar panel with integrated battery it will light up your room at night or even in a blackout.

The solar panels are mounted on the rooftop to charge the battery, and the LED lights are installed in the skylight diffuser mounted on the ceiling.

A few reasons you want to consider MaxBeam24 Solar Skylights include:

  1. Continuous Light: MaxLight and MaxBeam24 combination are able to provide continuous light in the home or business by beaming natural sunlight into the space during the day, while it functions as an LED light at night by supplying power from the battery to the LED light.
  2. Controlled Light Level: MaxBeam24’s remote control gives you the option of controlling the level of brightness of your room, meaning you are in total control of your room’s illumination at night.
  3. Motion Sensor: The motion sensor integrated into MaxBeam24 can sense when anyone enters the room to trigger the light on and off when they leave.
  4. Blackout Protection: since the system is not grid-connected, it is not affected by grid blackout, meaning you can continue to enjoy free light during blackouts.
  5. Australian Trusted Brand: MaxBeam24 is a product from Solar Bright, a reputed Australian supplier of solar and skylights, with a track recording running back to 2008.

How MaxBeam24 Works

The principal mechanism behind MaxBeam24 is a combination of MaxLight skylight and solar LED light. This ensures homes and businesses enjoy uninterrupted light.

The MaxLight skylight supplies the room with light during the day, while illumination comes from the LED light powered by the solar battery at night and during cloudy days.

How MaxBeam24 Functions During the Day

During the day, the MaxLight tubular skylight works by capturing sunlight through the dome from the outside and sending it into the space through a metal tube with a highly reflective property. This arrangement ensures maximum light flows from the outside into the inside.

How MaxBeam24 Functions During the Night

At night, the MaxBeam24 take control, as the system switches to the LED light mode. This time, thanks to the AC adapters or battery storage (depending on the model), the LED light installed in the skylight diffuser illuminates the room.

Blackout Protection

One feature of MaxBeam24 is the protection against blackouts that ensures your space remains illuminated during blackouts. The system leverages natural brightness during the day and a solar system at night and doesn’t rely on the grid to serve you.

Movement Sensor

MaxBeam24 comes with a movement sensor, a sensor that monitors human presence in the room. With the sensor, your skylight switches on automatically when you enter the dark room, preventing you from walking into obstacles. The sensor triggers the light to go off 10 minutes after leaving the room for efficient energy consumption.

Models

It is important to note that MaxBeam24 comes in three models, so you can choose an option that best suits your lifestyle. When shopping for MaxBeam24, you can choose from MaxBeam24AC, MaxBeam24ACSO, and MaxBeam24BAT, each with unique specifications.

While MaxBeam24AC and MaxBeam24ACSO use AC adapters to power the LED lights at night, MaxBeam24BAT draws its power from a Lithium Battery. The 6.4Ah battery only takes 6.4 hours to charge and can power the LED light for up to 11 hours and does not require mains power, so it will work in a blackout.

Common features of the three models include two sizes (250mm and 400mm) and an LED rating of 50,000 hours.

Additionally, regardless of the model, the light produces 1500 or 2000 lumens, depending on the size. Plus, each model features a remote control for ON/OFF switching and light dimming.

Solar System for a House: A Beginner’s Guide

Posted on by Thomas Yako

With rising electricity costs and a growing focus on sustainability, I see more homeowners are looking to switch to solar. However, navigating the world of panels, inverters, and installers can be overwhelming for a person starting to think about solar.

If you are considering a solar system for your home in Sydney or greater NSW and unsure where to start, we have put together this beginner’s guide. We’ll look at everything you need to begin installing a solar system for house energy consumption and cutting power bills.

What makes a Solar System?

A solar system is made of several key components that work together to bring you clean and affordable energy.

When looking at a solar system for your house you’ll begin with solar panels, these are what converts sunlight into energy. Next you need an solar inverter, which converts that DC power from the panels into AC power that you can use in your home. The panels need to be attached to your residence, whether that be on the roof or ground. You’ll need a mounting system for this. Usually, it’s a metal framework. This system keeps your panels secure and helps them get the most sunlight. You might also decide to get a solar battery, allowing you to store excess energy.

While the hardware is important, the installer is the most crucial part of your solar system. The technician you hire to install and connect your system is what will make or break your solar system. Quality solar installation will ensure that your system provides you with years of solar power. Unfortunately, we often see cheap, poorly installed systems that need to be replaced after just a few years. A quality installer and a reliable system will keep you generating energy for years.

What size solar system do I need for my house?

When picking a solar system for your home in Sydney or across NSW, your first question will be “What size do I need?”

The size of a solar system is calculated by multiplying the number of solar panels by their wattage.

Number of Panels × Panel Wattage ÷ 1000 = Solar System Size (kW)

For example, if you install 15 panels, each rated at 440 watts, your system size would be 15 × 440W = 6.6kW.

To estimate how much electricity your system will generate, the solar industry uses Clean Energy Council (CEC) zones. A solar system in NSW is in CEC Zone 3. This means that for every 1kW of solar power, you can expect an average daily production of 3.9kWh. A typical 6.6kW solar system in Sydney would produce about 25.74kWh each day. Over a year, that adds up to around 9,395kWh.

The right sized system depends on your household’s energy consumption and available roof space. At SolarBright, we analyse your electricity bills to see how you use energy all year, then, we suggest the right sized solar system for your house.

How much does a solar system cost?

At present a 6.6kW solar system in Sydney is around $3,400. This will get you a professionally installed system with premium panels.

Choosing the Best Solar System

When setting up a solar system for your house, you want each element, from the panels to inverter, to be the very best. Here we’ll look through what you should be considering for each part of your solar system.

Choosing Solar Panels

When choosing a solar system for your house, premium solar panels will ensure your system has a long life. Keeping in mind that the industry standard for panel size is now 440W, also look for the best panel technology.

Consider N-Type panels, which are made with negative silicon cells. N-Type panels are more efficient, work better in lower light, higher temperatures and harsher conditions, and have lower degradation rates than traditional P-Type panels.

You may also want to look at bifacial cells. They allow panels to capture sunlight from both the front and back, increasing energy output. Dual glass panels are also an advanced panel technology. They offer better protection against the elements and prevent panels from delamination.

Also consider the longevity and lifespan of your solar system. Panels should have a minimum 30-year product and performance warranty, guaranteeing long-term energy production.

At SolarBright, we recommend using Max Power Solar 440W Maximum panels as the basis for a solar system for your house. These premium panels have superior features, a 30-year warranty and a friendly price tag.

Choosing an Inverter

Most solar systems in NSW use string inverters. These inverters change the DC electricity from your panels into AC power that your home can use. To choose a good string inverter, look for trusted brands like Sungrow or SolaX. This way, you’ll get a reliable and efficient product. Additionally, picking a passively cooled inverter, which doesn’t use motorised fans, boosts durability. It’s a smarter choice for long-term performance.

As with panels, your inverter’s warranty is also crucial. A 10-year warranty is the standard. Some manufacturers offer a 5+5 warranty, meaning parts and labour are covered in the first five years, while only parts are covered in the last five years. Consider which is the right warranty for you.

Choosing a Solar Installation Company:

As we’ve said, choosing a solar installer is crucial for getting the best solar system for your house. Choosing the right installer is much more than choosing the most affordable. Choose an installation company with at least 12 years of experience. Look for one that has industry awards and accreditations. Aim for a company with over 500 online reviews and a rating above 4.5 stars. This way, you can steer clear of unreliable operators.

Check to see that your chosen solar installation company is an NETCC Approved Seller and ask them to come and do an on site inspection prior to the install. If they aren’t willing to check out your site, they aren’t worthy to install your solar system.

Do I need a Solar Battery for my house?

In Sydney, solar panels generate the most energy at midday. So, if your household uses power mainly during the day, a solar system without a battery should cover your electricity needs and bills. However, if you use more energy at night, you’ll rely on the grid instead of your solar panels. So, investing in a solar battery could be a smart choice for you.

Power companies have a “time-of-use” electricity tariff. This means you pay different rates at various times of the day; in other words you pay more for electricity during peak times. These are usually in the evenings when your panels aren’t generating power. Because of this the economics of battery storage have improved significantly. Many homeowners see payback periods as short as five years. Choosing a battery is a great option for maximising solar savings.

Investing in a solar system for your house in Sydney, or anywhere in NSW, is a smart way to reduce energy costs, increase energy independence, and contribute to a greener future. Now that you’ve got a grasp on system size, panel technology, inverters, and batteries, you can choose the right solar system for your home.

Solar Roof Ventilation or Whirlybirds?

Posted on by James Marcialis

Experience has taught me that good roof ventilation is a key factor in controlling your home’s temperature and helping to lower your electricity bills. Roof ventilation will extract hot air in the summer keeping your roof space cooler and lightening the load on your air conditioner. It also removes moisture from the roof cavity and prevents mould.

When it comes to roof ventilation systems for your home, solar or wind powered are the most sustainable choices. But is one option better than the other? In my experience one works much better than the other.

Let’s compare the two.

Active vs Passive Roof Ventilation

When it comes to hardware, solar roof ventilation uses the latest technology. Solar roof ventilation works efficiently, consistently and cost effectively, no matter the time of year. Whirlybirds ventilate your roof cavity passively, meaning they need a windy day to work. On a hot day with no wind, a whirlybird roof vent simply won’t work. This can allow your roof cavity to reach up to 70°c and will have your air conditioner working overtime. On the same day, solar powered roof ventilation will work all day long to extract hot air from your roof and cool your home.

When trying to keep your home warm in cold and windy weather, a whirlybird will spin frantically, sucking all warm air out of your roof. This will have you turning the heater up. But solar powered roof ventilation will turn off on cold, windy days. This ensures that warm air stays in your roof cavity, keeping your home warm.

Which is the Most Efficient Roof Ventilation?

Both solar and wind roof ventilators rely on natural resources to run, effectively making them free to operate. However, there is a difference in set up costs and maintenance. Being powerful and highly efficient means that solar roof ventilation can achieve 20 times more air changes in your roof cavity than a wind powered whirlybird. Because the whirlybird is less efficient at moving large amounts of air, sometimes more than 10 need to be installed to achieve an adequate air change in your roof. This can make upfront installation costs quite high.

Once installed, solar powered roof ventilation is free to run. Its flexible installation and injection moulded roof flashings make the system is waterproof. Unlike whirlybirds which typically rely on general universal flashings rely on silicon for waterproofing, solar roof ventilation is easy to install and less likely to require maintenance.

When choosing roof ventilation, controlling roof temperature and reducing moisture, are the most important factors. And when choosing between solar powered ventilation or a whirlybird, it’s clear that solar power outperforms wind power. MaxBreeze is the most advanced solar powered rood ventilator in Australia. With advanced technology such as thermostat control and day and night functionality it is the superior choice when choosing roof ventilation. For more information on installing solar roof ventilation, call SolarBright and talk to one of our consultants.

 

Solar Battery Rebates in NSW

Posted on by Thomas Yako

Solar batteries are becoming a game-changer for NSW households, and generous rebates are making them more affordable than ever. Here is the summary on available and proposed battery rebates, and how to make the most of them.

How many solar battery rebates are there available in NSW?

For NSW residents there is one existing battery rebate backed up by the NSW government, plus a second rebate promised by Labor Party if elected on 3/5/2025.

Let’s break them down:

1 – NSW Government Battery Rebate

NSW Government Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) is an initiative program used to lower the peak electricity demand. NSW PDRS home battery program started on 1/11/2024

How it works?

  • When a battery is installed, it generates PDRS credits based on its capacity (kWh)
  • These credits can be offered to customers as a point-of-sale discount to offset the price of the battery
  • The current value of each PDRS unit is approximately $1.80 (subject to market fluctuations)
  • For example, a premium battery like the Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh) can generates over $2,000 in rebates through this program

2 – Proposed Federal Government Battery Rebate

Proposed Federal battery rebate starting 1/7/2025 (should Labor win on 3/5/2025)

The Labor Party has announced a very generous new battery rebate for the cost of $2.3 billion. This rebate programme to be modelled on the highly successful Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (STCs) that has governed solar panel incentives across Australia since 2011.

Key details:

  • Expected to begin 1 July 2025 and run until 2030
  • Rebate value: about $370 per kWh
  • Example: a Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh) = approx. $4,995 in rebate
    The rebate amount quoted is approximate and will be confirmed once full policy details, regulatory guidelines, and any applicable registration fees are officially released.

Qualification criteria and conditions apply for both rebates programmes.

Total value of solar battery rebates!

If the promised rebate comes to fruition, residents in NSW will be able to access over $7,000 in battery rebates covering over 50% of the cost of a premium battery like Tesla and making solar battery installation more affordable than ever.

Is it worth installing solar battery?

Simple answer: Yes, more than ever.

While solar battery has always offered benefits like energy independence and back up power, the financial case for installing one was difficult till recently.

That has changed in the last couple of years where batteries becoming significantly more attractive to homeowners and businesses due to:

  • Drop in the costs of solar and batteries in general
  • Rise in cost of energy
  • Declining feed-in tariff rates

NSW rebates kicking in November 2024 further boosted the demand for batteries. We have witnessed a surge in the installation of batteries across NSW.

How to purchase Solar and battery package?

To make the most of your investment and ensure eligibility for rebates, choose a reputable, accredited solar retailer.

Here are some important things to look out for when purchasing your solar and battery packages:

  • Avoid too good to be true deals, too cheap deals normally come with other regrettable costs
  • Avoid retailers with no physical presence, an office with showrooms that open during standard business hours (9am-5pm) is a good sign of legitimate customer focused business.
  • Avoid retailers that refuse to do site assessment and consultation, if they don’t want to come before the sale, don’t expect them to come and fix any problem after they have taken your money.
  • Avoid retailers that don’t have a proven history of quality customer service, be aware of business that seem to have thousands of fake 5-star reviews

Conclusion

Investing in solar batteries is already an attractive investment for residents of NSW.

If the Labor rebate is introduced in July 2025, installing a solar battery could become a “no-brainer” investment for households seeking energy independence.

For more information, contact a reputable solar retailer like SolarBright today to explore your options and secure these game-changing rebates.

6.6kW Solar System: All You Should Know

Posted on by Thomas Yako

In my years of experience installing solar systems in Australia, I have noticed many homeowners recently ditching their 3kW and 5kW systems, which used to be the common size, for 6.6kW systems.

This is not surprising as the 6.6kW solar system, coupled with a 5kW Inverter offers a larger capacity than the previously common systems. Plus, since the prices of solar system components are declining, larger systems are much more affordable.

A 6.6kW solar power system normally comprises of 15 x 440W solar panels and a 5kW inverter.

As a homeowner planning to invest in a 6.6kW solar system, you want to know what to expect from your system and need answers to a few questions.

This article addresses the most common questions about the 6.6kW solar energy system so you can determine if it is a good fit for your home energy needs.

6.6kW Solar System Price

Investing in a solar power system is an excellent decision towards being energy independent and cutting your energy bills, but how profitable a system can be depends on the upfront cost. Hence, it is important to know how much a 6.6kW solar system costs.

Determining the price of a 6.6kW solar system is not straightforward, as a few factors come into play. Variables like your state of residence, your solar system brand, and your choice of installer all contribute to the cost of your solar system. Plus, adding a battery backup system will raise the price of your solar power system.

However, it is worth noting that choosing the right brand and installer for your system is crucially important if you want a quality system that comes with peace of mind.

I have recorded that Australian homeowners spend an upfront cost of between $3,000 and $6,000 installing a 6.6kW system.

Did You Know?

On Average, a 6.6kW solar system in Sydney can achieve payback in a space of 3 years.

6.6kW Solar System Output

Ideally, a 6.6kW solar system can generate between 23kWh and 33kWh, depending on the state it is installed.

A 6.6kW solar system installed in Sydney can churn out 26.4kWh.

When determining how much electricity a 6.6kW solar system should generate in winter, keep in mind that your system will experience reduced sunlight, which will reduce the expected electricity generated. Hence, expect your system to generate less energy during winter.

Do I Need A Battery For a 6.6kW Solar System?

One misconception about solar power systems is that a battery is a compulsory component to run your system. While you need a battery to maximise the value of your system, you can run your 6.6kW solar system without a battery.

Whether you need a battery for your 6.6kW solar system, like other solar systems, depends on how much value you would like to derive from your system.

A battery functions as energy storage in your system. It helps store excess energy generated by your panels during the day for later use later in the evening when the sun is no longer around. This ultimately saves you money on energy bills.

Without a battery in your system, your solar panels will generate energy during the day to power your appliances, but you need to switch to another source of energy once the panels stop capturing sunlight in the evening.

Overall, while you don’t necessarily need a battery for your 6.6kW solar system, investing in a battery lets allows you to get the most from your solar system.

Did You Know?

The Federal Solar Rebate can reduce the upfront cost of a 6.6kW solar system by up to 30%.

Is 6.6kW Solar System Enough To Run A House?

In the past, a 3kW system used to be the most common system among Australian homes, but homeowners now find value in 6.6kW systems for their higher energy capacity.

Regardless, the important question remains if a 6.6kW system is enough to power your home’s appliances, and the answer is “it depends”. Whether you can rely on a 6.6kW solar system to run your house depends on your energy needs.

For a home with low energy needs, a 6.6kW solar system can be enough to run small appliances without depending on other energy sources.

On the other hand, a large family with high energy needs will need a bigger system to power all appliances.

However, regardless of your choice of solar system, it is crucial to choose a reputable Australian solar system installer for your system installation. Choosing a professional, experienced solar installer means your system is properly installed and you can have the best value of your investment.

Should I Consider a Larger System?

As highlighted above, while a 6.6kW solar power system can be a suitable choice for a household with low energy demands running a few low-power appliances, it is not the best choice for large homes.  Hence, it is a good idea for a large family to shift its gaze to a higher system that can power more energy-demanding appliances.

In my experience installing thousands of systems over the years, larger systems like 10kW systems and 13.2kW systems have more value to offer mid-large electricity consumers.

Take advantage of the ongoing battery rebate on our 13.2kW Mega SolaX Battery & Solar Package.

Need a Customised Solar System?

Considering a customised solar power system is not a bad idea. A customised solar system offers the benefit of flexibility to suit unique applications. Since you can choose the shape, size and configuration of your system, a customised solar system is suitable for applications where a standard system is not feasible.

By discussing your needs with a professional solar installation expert like SolarBright, you can work on which system is the best for your home based on your family size and installation requirements.
