Intelligent Life. The intelligent choice in solar.

Intelligent Life are committed to helping you live the lifestyle you want, while still doing the right thing by the environment. First we created the most energy efficient reverse cycle air-conditioning system in Australia. Now, we’re designing solar power systems to help offset energy consumption.

We work with the best products and the most experienced installers. Our team is hand picked for their professionalism and expertise.

We spend extra time up front analysing your energy needs and the orientation of your home, to ensure your solar system is positioned to receive maximum sunlight. Our attention to detail guarantees your system will be paying dividends for decades to come.

With energy prices continuing to soar, switching to solar is all about leading an intelligent life.

How a solar power system works

1 When solar cells are exposed to sunlight, silicon layers in the panels release electrons that produce electricity. It is sunlight, not heat, that generates electricity so it doesn’t have to be hot for panels to work.
2 Power generated by the solar panels travels to the inverter.
3 An inverter converts solar DC power into 240V alternating current (AC).
4 In a grid-connected system, any electricity that isn’t immediately consumed is fed into the main grid earning you credits.

Components that stand the test of time

Solar Panels

Solar panel quality directly impacts on the efficiency and longevity of a system. Our philosophy is to always use the highest quality components available. The panels will either come from Germany or China, and will have solar cells made of mono or poly crystalline silicon. The exact brand we use will be determined by your energy requirements and roof space.

The Inverter

The inverter converts the solar DC power produced by the panels into the AC electrical current needed to power your home and appliances. There are two types of inverters: transformer based or transformer-less. The latter is normally our preferred model as it is generally smaller, lighter and more efficient. We continually review new inverters as they become available to ensure we are always supplying you with the best product available.

The Mounting System

The perfect roof for solar panels is between 20 – 28 degrees pitch, north facing and never covered in shade. Obviously not everyone has the perfect roof, so we use racking systems to ensure your panels are positioned for optimum efficiency. All our mounting systems are designed for Australian conditions and ensure your panels stay safely and securely positioned.

An intelligent consultation process

While you’d be delighted to never see another power bill again in your life, realities like budget and roof space will ultimately determine if this is possible.

Meet with client

Our trained consultant will conduct a load analysis to determine your power consumption. Next, they’ll discuss the type of system you can install based on your roof’s size, orientation and shading. They will then give you a quotation with multiple options to suit your needs and budget.

Accept quotation

When you have decided on the solar solution that best suits you, we’ll arrange a deposit and finalise the agreement.

Lodge application forms

We’ll help you fill in all forms and submit them to the relevant authorities to obtain approval for your PV system installation and meter change over. Once approval is obtained installation can begin. This process takes 1-6 weeks depending on your electricity provider.

Change meter

Upon approval, your electricity provider normally arranges to change over your meter before the installation of your solar PV system.

Install system

Installation usually takes 1-2days and is done by Clean Energy Council accredited designers and installers. They’ll call to arrange an installation date and time that suits you. If your meter is changed over, your system will be up and running straight away.

Calculate system rebate and finalise payment

We will help you fill in the forms for the relevant federal and state government grants avaliable to obtain the upfront discount provided by Intelligent Life.

Sit back, relax and enjoy electricity powered by the sun.

Intelligent energy saving tips

Of course the easiest way to reduce your power bill is to reduce your energy consumption. Here are some ways to get you started:

Choose the most energy efficient appliances
Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs, they’re 80% cheaper to run
Turn off lights when you leave a room
Switch off all your appliances at the socket so they don’t draw standby power
Install a solar water heater, preferably with gas boosting
Set appliances that consume a lot of electricity, like pool pumps, washing machines and dishwashers, to operate at off-peak tariff times

Install motion sensors, timers and home automation systems
Keep your home cool in summer by shading west facing windows
Insulate your home on hot days by keeping your curtains drawn
Wash clothes in cold water and dry them naturally in the sun
If you have a second fridge, only turn it on when needed
If you are a building a new home, try and incorporate passive solar design
