Now is the time for change
Modern Group
With all the media hype surrounding global warming at present it is time for the current generation to start looking towards the future and what impact our actions will leave for our kids and their kids and so on. You all would have seen, or experienced the extreme and erratic weather patterns of late and it prompts you to ask that question which is on the tips of everyone’s tongues at the moment – “What have we done to this Planet?” and then the natural question to follow – “What can we do to fix this?” Unfortunately the damage we have done so far is irreversible but what we can do is slow the process down and hopefully bring it to a screeching halt, but this is going to take time and effort; effort from everyone who calls this beautiful place home. Sure there are going to be the sceptics who shrug global warming off like it was an ex-partner coming to say hello, but the truth is we are damaging our home, and jeopardising the quality of life we have come to enjoy, for our future generations. The threat is very real and if we don’t start embracing green technology and instigating change now the results could be catastrophic. Australian’s have one of the highest rates of greenhouse gas emissions, per capita, in the world! With this in mind now is the time for Australia to leap to the forefront on the fight against global warming and start looking at alternative sources of power such as Solar Energy, drive hybrid vehicles and place emphasis on the recycling of goods which can be. The first steps in this long road to recovery were the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol which will provide measurable goals for us to strive for and secondly the Governments support of “green energy” solutions such as Solar Power.
One organisation who is giving “solar power to the people” is The Modern Group (known as Bramalco in Adelaide ). An Australian-owned company established in 1979, Modern has defined itself as a leader in the home improvement industry. Modern specialise in a wide-range of products including Window roller shutters, roof restorations, alarms, rainwater tanks and garage doors and with over 300,000 satisfied customers Australia-wide, and branches in every state, you can rest assured your home is in the best of hands when you are dealing with Modern. More recently The Modern Group has joined the fight against global warming and has added Solar photovoltaic Energy to its existing eco-conscious product range such as window roller shutters and Kool Kote reflective roof paint, both specifically designed to reduce the temperature in your home thus reducing your energy consumption. Modern Solar offers a wide range of solar powered solutions suited for everything from a caravan right through to a modern mansion. Modern Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Grid Systems provide a high quality solution to the World’s energy problem.
There are many different benefits of installing a solar energy system on your home. Firstly there are the financial benefits. Installing a system on your home will add value to your home or business and is an extremely attractive asset to potential buyers. Another great benefit is the fact that you will obviously be able to produce your own power saving money off your electricity bill. An initiative by the Federal Government has seen them commit to an $8,000 rebate available on the installation of a 1kw system. This offer is ‘for a limited time’ but should be a big enough carrot for the public to get on the global warming band-wagon and start making a difference. As well as the obvious financial benefits of installing a Solar PV system on your house there are the benefits to the environment which a lot of consumers feel far outweigh the cost savings. By reducing the amount of fossil-fuelled electricity you need to import from the grid, your Modern Solar PV Grid System will significantly reduce the amount of harmful greenhouse gas emissions resulting from your day-to-day energy use. Therefore, by installing a Modern Solar PV Grid System on your home, you will be investing in the sustainability of Australia ’s long term energy future and also in the health of the environment for coming generations.
Solar Energy is the clean, silent energy alternative, helping the environment. Now is the time to switch to this clean energy source and leave a lasting legacy for our children.
Now that we have investigated the benefits of installing a Solar Energy system to your home the next step in the process is finding out which system is suitable for you. Modern have a wide range of Solar PV Systems available with their most basic package being a 6 panel system capable of generating approximately 1Kw (kilowatt) of power, suitable for most single story dwellings with standard appliances.
The installation process is quite simple and only takes about half-a-day. The solar panels are installed on your roof in a non-corrosive support frame, an inverter box is fitted on or near your existing power box and before you know it you are helping save the planet!!!! It is that easy!!!
Modern use only advanced and proven manufacturing processes for each of its solar systems which provides only the very best in supply of monocrystalline panels to you, the home owner. Stringent quality control in the Modern supply chain ensures that the quality of product installed on your home is reliable, durable and of the highest quality standards.
With partnerships both locally and globally, Modern Solar will endeavour to continue and improve the Solar industry in Australia . Via our sales and service network around Australia , we can supply you with a complete, professionally installed Solar PV System backed up by a 25 year manufacturers warranty offering you the peace of mind to invest in a solar system today.
