- [Derek] Some of the areas of the Central Coast have quite a beautiful outlook with lots of gum trees. The downside to that is that we do also have shade on the rooftop.
- [Derek] Some of the homes that we come to have partial shading and it might just be in the morning. But the middle of the day and the afternoon is optimum for solar. Some of the way we can overcome that shade is using individual panel management. Where every panel works independent from the next.
- [Derek] Being so close to the coast line, means that we have got some rugged conditions. We have high wind, we have sea spray and we want to have a panel that's going to be able to keep up with those environments. So having salt mist declaration on our product warranty is a huge win and that's covered for all 25 years. Having quality panels installed means that you're going to get decade of usage out of those panels by selecting the right product from the start.
- [Derek] High quality solar panels not only give you better benefits by being resistant for the coast, having better product warranty. The big plus for you is that you get more performance per Watt out of these panels. You're getting high-yielding heat on hot weather. You're getting better low light performance on those overcast and cloudy days. All of the LG panels are always positive tolerance. So even though they're labeled 345 Watt, they're always a little more than 345 Watt. They never drop below what they've been rated for. So you're always getting more than what you paid for.
- [Derek] The quality of the actual products, there's so many products out there at the moment. It's so hard to navigate and pick from. What is the differences out there? Choosing quality, looking for things like brand names. We're selling LG panels which are a quality brand, proven performance.
- [Derek] The whole system from start to finish, we've gone through and we've hand- selected over time, quality components to be able to offer the best quality equipment to last the test of time on the Central Coast.
