FAQ
Solar power systems convert sunlight into electricity through a two-step process involving panels and inverters.
How it Works
Solar Panels: Sunlight hits the photovoltaic cells in the panels, creating an electrical charge that generates Direct Current (DC) electricity.
Inverter: This DC electricity is sent to an inverter, which converts it into Alternating Current (AC) so it can safely power your home’s appliances.
Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, after which they continue to function but at a slightly reduced efficiency. While the panels themselves are long-lasting, other system components like the inverter and battery storage usually require a replacement every 10 to 15 years.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on a flat roof using specialized mounting systems that tilt the panels at an optimal angle for sunlight absorption and rain runoff. These systems often use weighted ballasts or mechanical attachments to ensure the panels remain secure without compromising the roof’s integrity.
Once approved, most solar installations are completed within one day. The overall process—including approvals and scheduling—typically takes a few weeks depending on your location and system size.
To provide an accurate quote, we typically need your property details, average electricity usage, roof type, and location. IMS Energy Solutions offers obligation-free solar assessments to guide you through the process.
Absolutely. IMS Energy Solutions offers post-installation support, system monitoring guidance, and warranty assistance to ensure your solar system continues to perform efficiently.
A solar power system works by converting sunlight into electricity. Solar panels, typically installed on rooftops, contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that absorb sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity is then sent to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC)

Savings depend on your energy usage, system size, and location. Most Australian households see a noticeable reduction in electricity bills after installing solar, with long-term savings increasing as energy prices rise.
Yes. Eligible customers may benefit from Australian government solar rebates and incentives, including Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). Our team at IMS Energy Solutions helps you understand and apply any rebates you qualify for.
Battery rebate availability varies by state and eligibility criteria. IMS Energy Solutions can assess your location and energy requirements to determine whether you qualify for any current battery incentives.
