The temperatures in your roof cavity can reach between 50 to 70°C during an Australia summer. This heat is transferred to the ceiling in the home,  impacting living spaces. The best way to reduce these high temperatures is to install a MaxBreeze Solar Roof Fan.

How Does a MaxBreeze Solar Roof Vent Work?

The MaxBreeze is a new generation rooftop ventilation system that replaces the traditional wind driven (whirly-bird) vents. It works like a whirly-bird by removing heat and stale air however it operates using solar as the power source.

The compact MaxBreeze has a solar panel that generates, clean free electricity when the sun is shining. This power is used to run a brushless DC electric motor that is connected to the extraction fan.

The smart, efficient MaxBreeze is thermostat controlled. When the roof cavity heats up to about 30°C, the thermostat turns on the MaxBreeze allowing the fan to extract the warm air.

Just one MaxBreeze has been proven to replace 6-8 whirly-birds – making for a much cheaper and simpler installation, with more impressive outcomes.

Key Features of the MaxBreeze Solar Powered Roof Fan

By removing the hot air MaxBreeze keeps your roof space cooler. This results in a more comfortable home and reduces the load on the air-conditioner to help save on power costs.

Moves Air Efficiently

MaxBreeze has been proven to move over 20 times more air than traditional whirly-birds.

Saves on Energy Costs

Roof cavities can get extremely hot during the day making living spaces expensive to cool. MaxBreeze works effectively during the day to make your living spaces comfortable and reduce your air conditioning costs.

Reduces the Risk of Moisture to Prevent Mould

The MaxBreeze ensures that air is continuously and efficiently circulating through the home reducing the condensation to help prevent mould.

Turns On and Off Automatically

MaxBreeaze uses a smart thermostat to turn the unit on when the heat builds up inside the roof cavity. It turns itself off after removing the heat. Unlike the old fashion whirley birds on a cold day, the MaxBreeze will not turn on. This keeps the warm air inside your roof cavity to help warm your home.

Made for Harsh Australian Conditions

MaxBreeze has been designed and tested in our harsh Australia conditions. On a stifling hot summer day with no breeze, the MaxBreeze will work quietly and efficiently to extract the hot air from the roof cavity helping to cool your home.

Australian Designed and Owned.

The MaxBreeze is designed and owned by SolarBright.

Can Solar Roof Vents Work at Night?

Standard solar roof vents can only operate when the sun is shining. However, there are MaxBreeze models that can operate night.

The MB400 Zephyr is a model that can run at night. During the day when the sun is shining the units works like a standard solar roof vent removing the hot air.

However, it features a second solar panel with a built-in battery. During the day the sun charges this battery. At night the battery powers the MaxBreeze solar roof vent, allowing the fan to continue cooling the roof cavity.

There are also models available that can be plugged into a power point to provide power to run the fan at night.

***********

Australian summers produce some of the most hot and harsh conditions and home-owners want to make their homes as comfortable as possible.

With power companies forecasting a 35% rise in power prices over the next year, this means running air-conditioners will become more expensive. The MaxBreeze solar roof fan is an easy, cost-effective solution to help make your living spaces cooler.

It helps reduces the workload on the air conditioner on hot days by removing hot air from the roof cavity. It has the added benefit of helping protect your home from moisture build up in the roof.

Let the free power of the sun do the work for you while you become more energy independent!

Understanding your energy use

When trying to find ways to reduce your energy consumption, it can be useful to understand how much energy your home actually uses. Knowing exactly where in the home the most energy is consumed can help you determine the focus of your energy-saving endeavours. 

The average Australian home consumes energy: 

•         Heating and cooling – 40%
•         Appliances – 33%
•         Water heating – 21%
•         Lighting – 6%

With these figures in mind, it’s easy to see that heating and cooling have a significant impact on your power bill, with appliances and water heating close behind. Therefore, making some changes in these areas can have a positive effect on your overall energy costs.

1. Only heat the rooms you use the most

Consider which rooms don’t get much use during winter and keep the doors closed as much as possible. Drawing heat into unused areas is a huge drain on energy, so save on heating costs by only providing heat to the rooms you need.

2. Optimise the efficiency of your heat pump

Your heat pump runs most efficiently between 18°C and 20°C. Blasts of high-temperature heat may seem like the most effective way to heat a cold room, but in fact, using your heat pump in this way won’t heat your room any faster and will increase your energy use dramatically. 

For the most economical results, use the timer function on your heat pump to pre-heat your space for 15 minutes before you intend to inhabit the room and set it to turn off automatically when it’s no longer required.

3. Maximise heat retention

During daylight hours, your windows allow winter sun to heat your home. However, once evening falls, those same windows can also let more than 40% of the warmth escape. That’s why it’s important to close your curtains as soon as the sun disappears to retain the heat. 

Additionally, draught-proofing your home can be extremely effective in keeping your home warm. Use weather strips to block off gaps under external doors and ensure the seals around your windows are sound.

4. Take advantage of free clothes drying

Whilst clothes dryers are a convenient and fast way to dry your washing, they are also costly energy consumers. An alternative to using power-hungry dryers is to hang your clothes outside on a clear winter’s day. 

If you don’t have access to an outdoor line, think about hanging your washing on a clothes airer located in a sunny window.

5. Install a water-saving showerhead

With water heating accounting for 21% of your home’s energy consumption, changing your showerhead to a water-efficient model will not only save you water but will reduce your hot water costs considerably.

6. Make the change to energy-efficient light bulbs

During the winter months, we become more dependent on artificial lighting to illuminate our homes. Making the switch to energy-efficient LED light bulbs can save you money in both energy and replacement costs.

LEDs use around 75% less energy and last between 5-10 times longer than traditional incandescent light bulbs.

7. Replace mechanical whirly-bird roof fans with a MaxBreeze solar roof fan

The old whirly-bird mechanical roof fans suck the air out of your roof cavity any time the wind is blowing. On a windy, cold winter’s day, you will be trying to warm the inside of your home with heating. Meanwhile, on the roof, the old whirly bird will be turning in the wind sucking this warm air out of the house and roof, making your heater work harder and increasing your heating costs.

The SolarBright MaxBreeze solar fan is a smart modern version of the old school whirly-bird. It is solar-powered and thermostat-controlled. On a sunny, cold winter’s day, it won’t start to operate until the roof cavity temperature is about 37°C, helping preserve the warmth in your home. And in summer, it works to help cool your home.

8. Make the most of your solar

If your home is fitted with solar, you have the advantage of energy-saving benefits thanks to your ability to harness the power of the winter sun (or, more specifically, ultraviolet light). To get the best results from your solar in winter, however, the following factors are useful to consider: 

•         Most solar energy is generated throughout the day, so it’s best to operate appliances during daylight hours.
•         Schedule high-energy appliances, such as your dishwasher and washing machine, to run at different times. Again, daytime is always best.
•         Charging your electrical devices should be done through the day when energy generation is at its peak.
•         Switch off any appliances or devices that are not in use and replace any older appliances with energy-efficient models.

The post 8 Tips to Keep Your Energy Bill Lower During Winter appeared first on SolarBright.

Explaining on-grid solar systems

Most solar installed in Australia is “on-grid” solar. When you have an on-grid solar power system, you are still connected to the main electricity grid. Solar energy produced from your panels needs to be used immediately, as your inverter converts it to standard electricity. If you produce more than you use, the excess is exported back to the main electricity grid.

This means at night, or other times when your system isn’t producing enough solar energy, you’ll draw electricity from the main grid. Your electricity retailer will charge you for the electricity provided.

Tips for reducing your power usage at night

Needless to say, it’s wise to use more power during the day – when it’s free from the sun – and decrease your consumption at night when you need to pay for it. Here are some tips to help you get the most savings out of your solar energy system.

Schedule appliances to work during the day

Many household appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines can be programmed to start at a future time. Coincidentally, these appliances are some of the most power-hungry in the home. So, rather than putting the dishwasher and washing machine on in the morning or night, set them to start during the middle of the day. That way, solar energy will power them completely, as long as weather conditions are optimal.

If you’re concerned about not generating enough power during the day, make sure your scheduled appliances aren’t running all at the same time. This should ensure you don’t pay a cent for power during the day.

Turn off non-essential appliances at night

If you’re not using appliances during the night, turn them off. It sounds simple, but so many people neglect to do this, and they’re missing out on energy savings. Remember, you pay for all the electricity you use at night, so being careful with consumption can save plenty of dollars.

If you don’t need to run something during the evening, don’t. Wait until daylight when your solar panels can give you all the free power you need.

Use showers earlier in the day

Hot water is always a killer when it comes to the monthly energy bill. Many people love having a shower in the evening before bed, but this is the least economical way to use your shower. The same goes for early in the morning when your solar system isn’t producing energy yet. Of course, when you shower is largely guided by your work schedule. If you work from home, try to wait until after 10am.

If you’re a fan of the evening shower and you get home from work around 5-6pm, in summer, your solar system may still be producing energy. Take that evening shower as soon as you get home, and the hot water may be powered with free solar energy.

Turn off air conditioners at night

It’s always tempting to leave heaters or air conditioners on overnight. It’s nice to wake up to a warm home in winter or a cool home in summer. But unfortunately, even the most economical air conditioners are likely to be the most expensive appliances in the house.

One smart way to manage cooling and heating is to leave the systems running through the day and turn them off when the sun goes down. That way, you’ll come home from work to a nice warm house, and assuming you have good insulation, your home should stay at a comfortable temperature overnight.

Make the solar switch today

If you want to start saving money, there’s no better time than now to switch to solar energy. The Federal Government offers the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, which can drastically reduce the upfront cost of an NSW solar installation. SolarBright can give you all the advice you need, and we only stock the most reliable, high-performing solar energy products.

Does Daylight Saving Help Us Reduce Energy Consumption?

Power Bills Doubling

The post How to Reduce Your Power Usage – and Your Bill – at Night appeared first on SolarBright.

Solar energy can be similarly confusing unless you have a quality monitoring app at your disposal – mySolarEdge is changing the way we use solar.

What is mySolarEdge?

The mySolarEdge app allows users to easily track and manage the performance of their SolarEdge solar system. You get valuable, easy-to-read, real-time data on not just their solar energy consumption, but also production from solar panels.

Linked to your SolarEdge inverter the app lets you see what really happens with power consumption in your home. Plus, you’ll also be able to see how your system is performing in any weather condition. Because it’s remote, you don’t even need to be home to monitor your household’s energy.

If you install a SolarEdge Energy Bank solar battery you can monitor the battery as well. The battery can be configured to provide backup power with the addition of the backup unit. This allows the battery to provide power to the home in a blackout. The home backup is also controlled through the mySolarEdge app.

To monitor energy consumption in the home you will need to make sure that a SolarEdge energy meter and CT unit is installed.

Real-Time Visibility of Energy Production

One of the best features of the mySolarEdge app is being able to watch your energy production in real-time. You’ll be able to see what times of day your system produces the most energy, giving you an incredible advantage. Once you know when your system generates the most power, you can start scheduling appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers to operate during those key periods.

Monitor Your usage

You can also track your power usage with the app in real-time. You can see your self consumption – that’s when you are using power produced by the panels. You cab also see the power you are consuming from the electricity grid.

For this to happen you need to have an energy meter connected. We recommend this to all customers who are considering installing a SolarEdge system.

Tracking energy is particularly valuable during high consumption periods, offering a real idea of which appliances cost you the most money. If you know you’ve set the washing machine to run during a certain time, simply check the app and see how much your consumption increases as a result. With this information, you can get smarter (and more sustainable) about the way you use energy.

We’ve all been guilty of leaving the lights on while out. But now, thanks to mySolarEdge, you’ll be able to see just how much impact that has on your daily energy consumption.

When it comes to saving energy in the home, knowledge is certainly power, and that’s what the mySolarEdge app delivers.You get real time insight to help lower you power bills and know when its time to expand you system if needed.

Charts to Make Analysis Easy

The mySolarEdge app delivers easy-to-read charts, making analysis easy. You don’t need to watch everything in real-time if you don’t want to, because that’s impossible. Simply check your daily, weekly or monthly reports to find out when you use more power and when your system produces more energy. The charts are extremely user-friendly, so anybody can learn more about their household energy production and consumption.

Control Smart Home Devices

Televisions, fridges, washing machines…the list goes on. Almost every home appliance is available in a ‘smart’ version these days. Essentially that means they’re connected via WiFi, allowing users to control them remotely.

Let’s say you’ve gone to work and you know the dishwasher is fully loaded. You can now use the mySolar Edge app to identify a big difference between production and consumption during the day, and start your dishwasher remotely. You can also remotely control lights and other appliances that are needlessly drawing power while you’re not home.

Maximise Your Savings with mySolarEdge

Ultimately, the mySolarEdge app is all about maximising the potential of your SolarEdge solar system. From controlling smart devices and saving power to identifying peak periods of production, there are countless ways for families to save money. If free energy from the sun wasn’t already good enough, you can now also make that energy go further.

By spreading power-hungry appliance usage throughout the day, or focusing on peak energy production periods, you can decrease your reliance on the main grid even further. mySolarEdge is changing the way families monitor and manage energy consumption, reducing costs along the way.

But no matter your personal viewpoint on the issue, ultimately, the intention of daylight saving is to do just that: save daylight and, in turn, reduce energy consumption. The jury is still out on the usefulness of the concept, however, some studies have shown that in today’s landscape, daylight saving may no longer be having the impact on energy consumption that was originally envisioned.

Origins

Tasmania was the first state in Australia to observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 1916. The concept was initially introduced in Germany during WWI with the goal of reducing the use of artificial light to save fuel. Other countries, including Australia, soon followed and used DST until the end of the war. With WWII, DST was once again introduced as a fuel-saving measure, where it was used from 1942 to 1944.

It took another 20 years until DST was implemented again. Once more, Tasmania was the first state to readopt daylight saving in 1967 while experiencing a severe water shortage. The drought had a dramatic impact on the state’s water storage resulting in power rationing. The state has continued with the process ever since.

Most other states joined Tasmania in reintroducing DST in 1971, however, the Northern Territory outright rejected the idea. Queensland trialled DST during 1971 and again between 1989 and 1992, along with Western Australia, who tried it out between 2006 and 2009 before both states abandoned the concept completely.

Saving power?

Few studies have been conducted that are specific to Australia. However, one notable research experiment in 2007 investigated the effects of DST during the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. The Australian government extended DST by two months to facilitate the Games, moving the start date to August rather than October. The report found that, when comparing this period with previous years, DST reduced power usage in the evening, but it actually increased demand in the morning. The overall outcome of this particular study showed that DST, in fact, failed to reduce electricity demand.

Changes in lifestyle and technology have also impacted the effectiveness of DST. While there may be longer daylight hours, for those warmer parts of the country, this requires longer periods of cooling – in particular, air conditioning. It’s a considerable convenience, for sure, but also a significant drain on energy consumption. So, where there may have been light-saving benefits during the early days of DST, this is now overshadowed by power-hungry air conditioning.

While the positive effects of daylight saving on energy consumption overall may be difficult to quantify, for you specifically, it really comes down to your individual circumstances if DST is of benefit to you. Where you are located, the weather, and your personal power usage, especially when it comes to air conditioning, will all impact your energy consumption during DST.

Conclusion

The debate regarding DST and the benefits, or lack thereof, rages on with no foreseeable end. However, there is one definitive way to ensure you make the most out of daylight saving and harness the extended hours of the sun: Solar.

Solar produces clean, free energy directly from the sun. A typical household solar system in Australia can reduce your electricity bill by, on average, around $2,000 each year. SolarBright is dedicated to helping you achieve these savings.

From solar panels and power, solar hot water, and solar battery storage, SolarBright provides solar solutions which help you take advantage of daylight saving and ultimately save you money in power costs.

How to Reduce Your Power Usage – and Your Bill – at Night

The post Does Daylight Saving Help Us Reduce Energy Consumption? appeared first on SolarBright.

With unprecedented numbers of Australians working from home, cooking more meals, and not going on holidays, household energy usage across the country has more than doubled. In fact, since stay-at-home restrictions began in March, energy bills have shot up by 105% on average.

According to Domain, “in March 2019, the average household used 513kWh of power across the month, or 16.5kWh per day, which shot up to 1052kWh in March this year as lockdown measures were implemented around the country. It rose again in April with an average use of 1094kWh over the month, or 36.4kWh a day. As a result, the quarterly average bill of $406.75 is expected to rise to over $800, with those who routinely have much higher bills facing at least a doubling too.”

Now, as families receive their power bills from the past several months in lockdown, many are facing bill shock as they learn that they owe double the usual amount to their energy providers. And unfortunately, these exorbitant energy costs may stick around for some time, since some coronavirus restrictions will be here to stay for an unknown period of time. These increases are particularly troubling for individuals and families who are already facing tough economic times as a result of COVID-19.

The painful truth is that there isn’t much you can do to lower a pricey energy bill that you’ve already racked up. But the good news is that you can make changes at home to reduce your future energy costs. In particular, switching to solar power is a smart and affordable way to lower your electricity bills and reduce energy usage.

Many Australians are recognising the advantages that come with solar power, including cost savings and environmental benefits. As a result, more households are investing in solar panels, skylights and solar hot water systems. In fact, more than 2 million households across the country use solar panels at home, a number that is increasing each day — and it’s easy to understand why.

Once installed, solar pays for itself. For instance, if you were to add a 6.6kW solar system to your home and used 65% of the power it generate and exported the rest back to the grid, you would recover the initial costs in about 2 and half years. With electricity costs at record highs in Australia, a solar system is a savvy investment that will pay off soon after installation and put money in your pocket for many years

It’s clear that now is the right time to protect your family with an investment in solar power. SolarBright is an Australian-owned family business and CEC Approved Solar Retailer that offers affordable and efficient solar solutions to help homeowners and businesses save money on their energy bills. We will work with you to create a solar power system that is right for your home and suits your budget.

Circulation is absolutely vital for our houses. Heated air can be trapped in ceiling spaces, warmed by the roof shingles, leading to a crawlspace feeling more like a Turkish bath. This heat radiates through the ceiling and walls, and can make the house a sweatbox. This is felt especially acutely in the upstairs bedrooms, where you’re trying – and often failing – to sleep.

For these reasons, engineers developed a method of drawing the heated air out of your crawlspace. You’ve no doubt seen the classic Whirlybird on roofs Sydney-wide: a round, cylindrical vent, driven by the wind. As it spins, the blades on the whirlybird draw out the warm air in the roof crawlspace and disperses it. Because heat rises, it is best to locate yours as close to the peak as possible, which is conveniently the best spot to catch the strongest breeze.

Meanwhile, ceiling vents, typically located underneath the eaves of your home, draw in cooler air to replace it. Other options include using an in-house vent to move air through the upper floors and out via the whirlybird.

These innovative little units draw air through your house whenever there is a breeze, so the air continues to flow regardless of the time of day. This can lead to a cooler ‘starting point’ for your houses temperature in the morning, as it will be less likely to retain heat from the prior day’s onslaught from the sun, keeping it cooler throughout the day. They aren’t a cure-all, but if you’ve found your house in Sydney to be less comfortable than you would prefer, whirlybirds can be an inexpensive and efficient solution.

Adding free sunlight into your home and workspace has been proven to have both psychologically and physiologically benefits. Pure sunlight, rather than electric lighting, provides the full visible spectrum of light, which helps reduce eyestrain and makes colours in our belongings, decor and clothing look their true colour. This can be particularly important in retail environments where you are trying to make your goods look as attractive as possible, and at home where you want your carefully selected furniture and decor to look exactly as it did in the store or magazines.

Many people initially are concerned about harmful UV rays doing damage to their interior, but today the majority of quality skylight manufacturers ensure their domes or glazing are UV resistant and this simple is not a problem anymore. Yet the rays allowed into your indoor space still help indoor plants thrive. But our plants aren’t the only ones that benefit healthwise.

Daylight has been proven to significantly impact on productivity and health. Our eyes and brains simply function better when working, or relaxing in natural light versus artificial lighting and Vitamin D, gained from mainly from exposure to sunlight, is an essential mineral, as this vitamin has numerous benefits to our health. From a more practical standpoint, natural light also reduces the amount of mildew and mold growth inside, keeping the air in our homes and work spaces healthier, more breathable and reducing the risk of asthma and other breathing conditions.

Ultimately healthier and happier staff all equate to a more productive workforce, less prone to sickness leading to a reduced number of sick days staff are likely to take. And of course happier, healthier families live richer, fuller lives, every day.

Aside from all above advantages, Natural light is FREE and living in a country like Australia, we benefit from so many days filled with sunshine than others, so installing skylights can significantly reduce your electricity bills, because there is simply no reason to turn the lights on from dawn to dusk any more.

You’ll need all the energy you can get to make it through the day. When it comes to your home, it’s all about cutting back. Being a green-minded homeowner, you already know and exercise some of the basics, including keeping the thermostat a bit lower, using energy-saving light bulbs and unplugging appliances when not in use. These small fixes are great ways to start, but there are other activities that can really make a difference and ensure your home runs on less fuel.

Start with a Home Energy Audit

First things first, you need to know exactly where you can conserve energy. By getting an energy audit, you’ll get an analysis on how much energy you’re saving, where you can conserve, and how much you’ll save in the long run. If you’re thinking of a major home improvement, search for a local and certified professional who can assess your needs.

Save up to 80% of your Heating Energy Cost with Solar Hot Water

Water accounts for an estimated 35% of the energy bill if you have an electric hot water system. Save on this cost by replacing your system with an Edwards Roof Top Frost Free System. This uses the highly efficient heat transferring properties of Glycol, a special anti-freeze fluid, to transfer the absorbed energy to heat water indirectly. Not only does this save on home energy costs, but it is also made from stainless steel, making the systems virtually maintenance-free and last a lifetime.

Reduce Air Conditioning Costs with Room Ventilation

Reduce air conditioning running costs, prevent mould in winter, and cool your home in summer with Room Ventilation. It will operate to ventilate the room when the sun shines on the solar panels. This unit is ideal to ventilate any room. This also prevents stale air smell in rooms and promotes fresh air circulation. The ventilation assists room dampness and mould problems, and eliminates cooking smells and fumes in kitchen spaces.

Bring Daylight into Your Home with Skylights

Bring soft, natural daylight into any room in your house, even in small spaces, with Skylights. These high-grade product harnesses natural light, allowing you to reduce daily energy consumption. These skylights are easy to install and require little to no maintenance. We even have skylight installers who are more than glad to help.

With all these solutions available, you can be more energy efficient while helping conserve the environment. Contact us for more information on how we can assist you in refurbishing the greenest home on your block.
