Why Go Solar Today

As energy costs rise and environmental concerns grow more pressing, there’s never been a better time to consider switching to solar power. Choosing solar energy isn’t just an environmentally friendly move—it’s a smart financial decision that continues to pay off for years. So, why should you make the switch to solar, and why should you trust Dunton Group to guide you on this journey?

EMBRACING A SOLAR FUTURE

As we transition into a more sustainable era, fossil fuels are quickly becoming relics of the past. Embracing solar energy offers a renewable, reliable source that can significantly cut or even eliminate your energy bills. Additionally, it’s a choice that has a proven positive impact on the environment.

 

WhY choose DUNTON GROUP for your installation?

At Dunton Group, we take pride in being Mornington Peninsula locals with a deep-rooted passion for solar energy.

Furthermore, as accredited members of Solar Accreditation Australia (formerly the Clean Energy Council), we offer comprehensive solar system design, supply, and installation services.

Reasons to consider Solar Energy

REDUCE OR REMOVE YOUR ENERGY BILLS

One of the most compelling reasons to switch to solar is the potential to drastically reduce or even eliminate your energy bills. In fact, most solar systems we install across the Mornington Peninsula pay for themselves within 3-5 years. After that, the financial savings continue to grow year after year.

A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Solar energy is a clean, green alternative for powering homes and businesses. By choosing solar, you’re making a lasting contribution to environmental sustainability and protecting our planet for future generations.

GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES

The Australian and State Governments offer various incentives to encourage the adoption of solar power. Thanks to these incentives, now is an excellent time to explore your options for installing a solar solution.

INCREASE YOUR PROPERTY VALUE

Research in the real estate industry shows that properties equipped with solar systems are more likely to sell at higher prices than those without. Thus, installing solar not only saves on energy costs but also adds significant value to your property.

How does solar work?

Solar power uses Photovoltaic Cells to capture the sun’s energy as DC energy. This energy is then converted into AC energy via a solar inverter, which powers your home or business. The inverter is connected to your main switchboard, allowing AC energy to flow throughout your property. Any excess energy can be sent back to the grid in exchange for a feed-in tariff, which is determined by your energy provider.

If your system includes a battery, any excess energy will be stored for use at night, during heavy shade, or in a blackout. This is instead of being sold to the grid. Battery technology is rapidly advancing and is increasingly becoming a standard part of solar energy solutions across the Mornington Peninsula and throughout Australia.

what solar panel is best for me?

Choosing the right solar panel can be overwhelming. At Dunton Group, we specialise in top-quality SunPower and Longi panels. We can help you decide which is best for your needs.

Should I Choose a String Inverter System or a Microinverter System?

String Inverter System

A String Inverter System is the most commonly used option, known for its simple setup and lower cost. In this system, each panel is connected, and the DC energy produced is fed into a single inverter that converts it into AC energy.

Microinverter System

In a Microinverter System, each panel has its own small inverter installed underneath. Here, DC energy is converted to AC energy right at the panel.

At Dunton Group, we’re qualified to install both systems. We tailor our solutions to meet your unique needs, using only the best brands and products available.

why choose dunton group?

Our team consists of qualified electricians with extensive experience and specialised training in all the products we install, including those from top suppliers like Tesla, Fronius, SunPower, and Enphase. Unfortunately, too many ‘cowboy’ solar companies focus only on quick sales and move on, often outsourcing installation and dodging responsibility when things go wrong. This approach can lead to product failures, inefficient setups, and worse.

At Dunton Group, we do things differently. We supply and install high-quality solar panels, microinverters, battery storage, and more across the Mornington Peninsula and beyond. With over 10 years in business, we’re here to stay. Our team stands behind our work, consistently ensuring our standards are the highest around.
