If not Clean P.V Watts Calculator = $432 per Year Savings, for Age of System
If you add in the cost of savings of not having to use Power that she has to pay for during the day!
Her cost to maintain this savings = 8.6% of what she is getting back each year
She gives me $1 and I help her save $2 !!!!
I spoke to her neighbours, who I did start cleaning, but have since been using another Solar Cleaner
They are Paying
$3.75 and getting back $2 in Return?
Can you say it is worth it?
Do you want a Return on your investment or just make money for Businesses?
I want to make money, but also want you to make money on your investment!

Her cost to maintain this savings = 8.6% of what she is getting back each year
She gives me $1 and I help her save $2 !!!!
I spoke to her neighbours, who I did start cleaning, but have since been using another Solar Cleaner
They are Paying
$3.75 and getting back $2 in Return?
Can you say it is worth it?
Do you want a Return on your investment or just make money for Businesses?
I want to make money, but also want you to make money on your investment!

So I have organised to get it fixed, as the Installer is not longer available!
We do not know how long it has not been working as He does not check it.
My advice would be to at least make a date each month to just have a look at your Inverter!

Battery Back Up
I had my First Clean Customer Today, in Muwillumbah, that is still on the $0.60/Kwh FIT till the end of the Year. But has chosen to be ready for the big switch and has already installed Panels and Battery Back up Bank.
I asked him Why he chose to set it up this way?
He replied - This way they Batteries will last approx 10 years, Gel Batteries, and they cost me Approx $1500 to replace a row/bank.
This Gentleman had investigated lots of the different systems available on the market and chose this way. So I just thought I would share it out there for those that maybe looking into Battery Back up and still are not sure if others have started to set them up.
Cheers and have a Great Weekend :)

Green Electricity and Carbon Offsets
With our Election on the way, all the talk seems to be around what is our Government going to do about Alternative Energy to BROWN/COAL Energy?
My Question is WHAT ARE "YOU" Doing about it?
Do we really need a Government to do something about it?
What is we all do our little bit?
We have events like - EARTH HOUR
- CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA
- TREE PLANTING
- RECYCLING BINS
But What is something YOU can do? The old saying I was told, just switch off!!
Do we really need all of those Appliances on? All the Time?

But What is something YOU can do? The old saying I was told, just switch off!!
Do we really need all of those Appliances on? All the Time?
How green is Australia’s electricity supply?
So you already know that 14% of energy in the grid is already green. That comes from renewable generators feeding the electricity they produce into the NEM, just like traditional power plants do.3
Of this 14%, over half of it (about 60 per cent) is from hydropower plants.4 The Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme is Australia's largest hydro-electric generator.
The remaining green energy in the grid comes from a combination of wind, biomass and solar energies.
I Rent, so over the last two years I have been trying to come up with a way to make up like a portable Solar so I can take it with me. I am close. But this will only help me offset about 12% of our Daily Energy Use, and would have cost me About $1500, SO will take me a little over 5 Years to get my money back!
Lucky the money I have used to get the materials was mainly bartering my labour, and recycling copper, brass and cans. So really didn't cost me that money after all.
But my business is about Cleaning Solar to Help make the Most Solar Produced! from your System. So if I in return are not using as much GREEN energy as I can, to me that makes me a Hypocrite!
So I looked into switching to Green Power with Origin Energy, our Electricity Retailer.
How much does it cost?
GreenPower charges depend on your energy plan or agreement. Here’s some estimates based on an average household’s quarterly electricity bill.*
Charges effective from 14 March 2016
| 25% GREENPOWER | 50% GREENPOWER | 100% GREENPOWER |
|---|---|---|
| Charge (inc. GST) | Charge (inc. GST) | Charge (inc. GST) |
| $2 extra per week | 2.81c extra per kWh | 5.61c extra per kWh |
| Estimated extra cost | Estimated extra cost | Estimated extra cost |
| $2.00 per week or $26.00 per quarterly bill | $2.70 per week or $35.13 per quarterly bill | $5.39 per week or $70.13 per quarterly bill |
*based on annual electricity usage of 5,000kWh and a 13 week quarterly bill.
For Predictable Plan customers, we'll fix your GreenPower charges for the 12 month period. We'll base the charges on your estimated usage over 12 months.
So to go 50% GREEN Energy it is going to cost me an EXTRA $359 per Year!! That would take up my GREEN Energy use to 62% costing me $1859 in the First Year :( I should have just bout a 2KW Solar to put on the roof of the house we rent?
It seems so expensive to help the Environment! I can see why most people do not, or can not afford to do it!
I also found out the our household Electricity adds up to 12.01 Ton per year, to offset this at $10 per Ton = $120.10 if I was to purchase Carbon offset credits! this would work out better and cheaper! but honestly what is $120.10 going to do to help the environment from me every year?
So what I have chosen to do is SWITCH to an Electricity Retailer that is going to provide me with 50% GREEN Electricity, Guaranteed!
http://sca.viridianenergy.com.au/index.asp?CO_LA=AU_EN
And with my business of Solar Cleaning with an average of 1000 panels cleaned every year i have calculated i am also helping those with Solar produce an extra 213087 KWH per Year = 200.30178 Ton of Carbon offsetting, minimum every year. Equal to if I purchased $2003 of Carbon offsets each year!
So again WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?

Hi All
Results From Yesterday Mornings Clean.
This Customer Requested a Standard Clean 12 Monthly @ $9 Per Panel
I did explain that 12 Monthly Clean do not Produce much results if Any, This is Also found on my Website. So we can see That This Customers Solars Performance is Dropping Steady by around 2.2-3% each Year, Not the Estimated 15-20% loss per Year. (or should I say 35-40% That some Cleaner Claim!)
So myself here at Solar Cleaner Australia, Not Happy with these Results for my Customer, Have Decided to Put him on the Alpha Eco Solar Treatment Program. Aiming to get to at least what the CEC tell us is the Average for our Area, of 9.24Kwh/Day
Challange is "ON" :)
12 Monthly Clean Program, Standard Clean Only.

I though I would Share some Points From a Consumer Guide from the Clean Energy Council.
The Link is Below if you would like to Read the Whole thing.
http://www.solarchoice.net.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/Solar-Choice-Clean-Energy-Council-Solar-PV-Consumer-guide.pdf
A system manual that provides operation, maintenance and safety information should be provided by your installer. This must also include a system energy output (kWh) estimate.
What angle should the solar panels be on?
Solar PV panels produce most power when they are pointed directly at the sun. In Australia, solar modules should face north for optimum electricity production. The orientation of the panels will often have a greater effect on annual energy production than the angle they are tilted at. A minimum tilt of 10° is recommended to ensure self cleaning by rainfall. For grid-connected solar PV power systems, the solar panels should be positioned at the angle of latitude to maximise the amount of energy produced annually. Most Australian homes have a roof pitch of 20° to 30°. If your roof’s slope is not ideal, your accredited designer can create an appropriate mounting frame to correct the orientation and elevation of your panel. Failing this, the designer can advise you on the difference in energy output for different tilt and orientation.
Shading / Dirt Solar PV
panels should ideally be in full sun from at least 9am to 3pm. They should not be placed in shaded areas and be kept free from dust and dirt. Even a small amount of shade - from things like trees, roof ventilators or antennas - will have a large impact on the output of a panel, as it changes the flow of electricity through the panel. Shading or dirt on just one of the cells in a solar panel results in a loss of power from many cells, not just the one that is shaded.
Temperature
The amount of electricity a solar PV panel can generate is reduced as temperatures increase. Solar panels operate best at ambient temperatures up to 25°C. However, if the ambient temperature is higher, the panel’s output declines.
Warranties
o What kinds of warranties come with the products? o Which warranties are your responsibility and which are the manufacturer's? o How long have the equipment manufacturers been in the PV industry? Long warranties are meaningless if the manufacturers aren't around in five years. o If you have to deal with the panel or inverter manufacturer in the future, do they have an Australian office?

Great news Yesterday - Again!
Was told that a Customer of one of my Cleans/Treatments who was getting approx $30 Rebate on their quarterly electricity bills.
Just recently after the Treatment of their Panels got a $300 Rebate on their electricity bill
Asked this morning for an official review, will add to this once i get it.
Great News though, not that I didn't expect it, getting great news off all my customers slowly :)

Alpha Eco Self-Cleaning Solar Panel Treatment is a nanotechnology-based application that protects glass surfaces from being tarnished and helps prevent the accumulation of dirt and other contaminants.
The applied sealant forms an invisible film on the surface that, when triggered by sunlight / UV rays in what is called a photocatalytic process, breaks down “muck” and dirt to the point that they are easily carried away by rain or water.
The compounds in Alpha Eco Self-Cleaning Solar Panel Treatment have powerful hydrophilic properties, meaning they attract water and push other substances – such as bird droppings, dirt and other organic pollutants – aside, subsequently forming a self-cleaning membrane that keeps surfaces clean and functioning longer. (Self-cleaning effects are obtained after 15 - 24 Hours and last up to 3 years.)
The treatment is perfect for Windows, Solar Panels, Skylight windows, Mirrors, Shower Screens etc...

So what did I find out this week? mmmmmmmmmmm
Well again I found another Solar Owner that did not know their Panels needed Cleaning?
What is happening, it is on Adverts on the TV? Does no one take notice any more?
I am only trying to help out those with Solar Panels to make more money!
I worked out this week that with my #cleanswitch&save deal you, the customer only pays 1.5% of what you are guaranteed to make over the 3 year Program.
1.5%, that's $1.50 to make your self $100 in Electricity savings?
Any way, My Partner keeps telling me that I calculated things out more than others.
I guess I do, but how else would you know if you are getting enough return on the money you are investing into your Solar?
Any way have a great weekend all, and if you are interested in finding out more about my new #cleanswitch&save deal then don't wait too long, call me or email me or Text me to book in an appointment to sit down and go through it to see how much "Extra" saving you are going to produce from your Solar!!

I am getting some great information this week.
I was just informed by one of my Bidet Customers today in Tweed Heads
That he has a guy that cleans his Panels (2Kw System) for $25 every year
I asked him could i have a look at his latest bill to see how much the $25 clean was improving his Solar ?
Bill was from Origin Energy
Dec till Feb 2016
Solar Generated was 632 kwh over 90 Days = 7.02 Kwh / Day
CEC Average is for a 2 Kw System - 8.4 KWH / Day
This guy is on $0.60 Rebate
All of my Customers Generate at minimum CEC Average!!
This guy has missed out on $74.52 extra worth of saving just from his last bill!!!
So for paying a guy to clean his Panels $25, he has not gained anything! he is not even getting his average!! over summer!!!
I ask you?
Is it worth the $25 he paid to get nothing (actually he got a negative!)
He should have given his $25 to a charity?

Hi All
Still people out there confused as to why to chose my Alpha Eco Solar Cleaning Program.
So I tried to explain the Price Differences on my Website this week.
Still people out there confused as to why to chose my Alpha Eco Solar Cleaning Program.
So I tried to explain the Price Differences on my Website this week.
Cost Differences of Cleaning Choices - Example of 5 KW System with 24 Panels (Lowset)
12 Monthly Clean (if your Panels have not been cleaned for at least 12 Months)
- 24 Panels x $9 per Panel = $216 (Results show Increase of 5-10% Better)
6 Monthly Clean (Once your Panels are Cleaned you can chose 6 Monthly Cleans)
- 24 Panels x $6 per Panel = $144 (Results show increase of 15-28% Better)
Over a 3 year time frame this would cost you $936
Alpha Eco Solar Program (Zero Voc Clean) Cleans and Protects your Panels for 3 years!
- 24 Panels x $35 per Panel = $840 (Saving of $96)
- Results show increase of 15-35% Better
Also Still getting the Forms and confirmation through for the Extra $0.10 on top of your current Rebate, so be patient please it wont be long, but still click the link on my website, and some one will contact you as soon as it is all sorted!!
So as I have mentioned before
With the Extra $0.10 Rebate on top of what you are already getting, be it $0.06, $0.08, or $0.44
and with my Alpha Eco Solar Cleaning Program
You will be effectively gaining between 40 - 80% increase on your Solars Performance!
For those thinking money terms
For $35 per Panel, you will be nearly doubling your Savings on your electricity bill, against Thousands of Dollars on either more Panels, or Battery Back up.
My Estimate is for every $1 you invest i can get you a return of $1.80 - Not sure if you can find anything else that will get you those sort of returns?
If you can let me know :)
Have a great weekend!!
