Step into WA’s intelligent energy future
Solar power is a renewable form of energy and known as a cleaner, greener type of electricity.
Using solar energy means you can reduce the demand for other types of electricity generation, as you put the sun’s energy to work for you.
You could see some considerable savings in your electricity costs, especially if you can shift more of your power use to the sunniest parts of the day when your solar system is generating solar energy.
How solar power works
Solar panels catch the sun’s rays and transform the sun’s energy into electricity through your inverter.
Rays of sun hit the solar panels.
This causes electrons to vibrate within the PV cells in the panels generating electricity.
The electricity is converted from Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) in the inverter.
This energy is then used to power your home's appliances.

Complete the form above to request a quote.
You’ll receive a call from a member of Solargain’s solar team. They’ll arrange to visit your home and create a quote based on their assessment of your roof, electricity use and other factors. Once you’ve accepted your quote, the Solargain team will arrange everything on your behalf - from applying for network approvals and rebates† to installing your system.
Once your system has been connected, we’ll help you to manage your account and find ways to make the most of your new solar solution.
- How much energy will my rooftop solar panels generate?
-
The amount of energy your solar system generates depends on the sunny conditions, the type and number of solar panels and the invertor capacity of your system.
- Do I need to cover my rooftop in solar panels?
-
No, and it’s not simply a case of the more solar panels, the better. The Solargain solar team will help to make sure your solar package matches the amount of electricity you use at home, based on your Synergy account. This is more effective than exporting a lot of excess energy back to the grid.
- Does having solar mean we won’t need to draw any power from the grid at all?
-
No – and it’s worth being wary of any solar supplier who promises this, or says that you will have no electricity bills. Your household will still draw power from the grid at various times, including at night, on cloudy or rainy days - and network fees will still apply.
- Does solar energy mean zero carbon emissions?
-
No. The processes of manufacturing, transporting and installing solar panels and solar technology involves creating carbon emissions – but solar is definitely a cleaner, greener form of energy, especially when compared with other ways electricity can be generated.
- How do I know where to put solar panels?
-
When you get in touch for a quote, a Solargain solar team member will arrange to visit your home to work out the best solar solution and positioning for your needs. Generally, north and west-sloping rooftops are the best orientations to catch the sun’s rays.
- How is solar energy better for the environment?
-
Traditional electricity generation involves the burning of fossil fuels. This process sends greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Using solar energy means you can reduce the demand for other types of electricity generation, which can help you to reduce the overall impact your household has on the environment.
- What is Synergy’s partnership with Solargain?
-
Synergy no longer provides solar PV systems for residential customers. As of 4 December 2020, Synergy entered a partnership with Solargain to give customers access to specialised expertise and their range of products.
If you bought or are buying a solar PV system from Solargain, they will handle every aspect of the solar installation process for your home, including customer service enquiries related to your solar PV system. Synergy will still manage your electricity account as usual and is able to assist with your account enquires.
