Homeowners who already have solar panels installed on their rooftops are often on the lookout for ways to make the most out of their solar systems, and one of the best ways to do so is by investing in an energy storage system. The LG Chem lithium-ion solar battery is a residential energy storage solution […]
What is an inverter and how does it work in the solar system? A solar system is made up of several key components, with inverters being one of them. When your solar photovoltaic (PV) system absorbs the sun light, it produces direct current (DC) energy. However, as most homes use alternating current (AC) energy, DC […]
What is a solar panel? A solar panel is a device that is made up of solar cells, which work to convert solar energy into usable electricity. A solar power system consists of multiple solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, and an inverter. In Australia, these panels are usually fitted on the roof, […]
Whenever we at Total Solar Solutions advise our customers looking to purchase a solar system, we take a good look at their current energy consumption, but we always ask if they have any reason to believe their energy usage will rise in future, or conversely, any reasons why their energy usage might fall in future.

When choosing a solar system, one of the key things you have to decide on (or get advice on from an expert) is the type of inverter to install. The inverter is a critical component of the solar system, as it not only converts direct current (DC) energy generated by the solar panels into usable […]
The Victorian state government is set to provide half price solar batteries for 10,000 households from 2020, as part of its Solar Homes initiative.
Most people turn to solar systems because they want to cut down on their electricity costs. But then they become disappointed when they receive the bill only to find out that it is still relatively high. Firstly, you need to understand how solar power works. The solar cells generate electricity when the sun is out, […]
