About solar

At ZEN Home Energy Systems we strongly believe Home Energy will be the future of Energy Generation as a sustainable, self managed solution.

The cost of Home Generated Power (Blue Energy) is continually coming down as opposed to the cost of buying your Power, which continues to go up and up. Even "Green" Energy which is relatively cheap to produce at the source, such as the large wind farms at around $0.04c/kWh, is very expensive by the time it gets through a rapidly ageing power grid and to your door it will add approximately a further $0.19c/kWh and then mixed in with the dirty black power.

In Australia we have such a small sparse population, we live in houses with big roofs and in a country with the best sunshine in the world, so you don't have to be Einstein to work out that Solar Home Energy is our future.

Even our manufacturing facilities, which consume much more power, also have much larger roofs, and as the cost of Solar Energy continues to decrease the potential for economically responsible Commercial Solar Energy is increasing dramatically. The ZEN Commercial division are installing large installations around South Australia and leading the way in this arena as well.

ZEN have produced two ranges of Grid Connect Systems (Offset Systems and Whole Home Systems) and our "ZEN Freedom System" range if you are living off the power grid (Viewed under the Commercial System pages).
