Powering your home with ZEN Home Energy Systems
In a world where conserving energy and resources are a growing concern, ZEN Home Energy Systems have introduced a must-have home appliance that can power your home.
"The price difference between a home with solar power and one without can be more than the cost of the system," says Toop and Toop, Managing Director, Anthony Toop. Anthony chose a ZEN System 5 for his new residence. "From a sales point of view, it can make one property more desirable than the other." He says.
The ZEN Home Energy Systems start as low as $3,945 (fully installed) subject to Government rebate eligibility, and as ZEN Chief Executive Officer Richard Turner points out, "While many properties are sold with branded kitchens and home theatres as key selling points, I can see a ZEN Home Energy System becoming a must-have home appliance in the future,". ZEN has designed five standard systems based around the average Australian home which consumes about 20kWh of energy a day. Power a quarter of your home with a ZEN System1 or your entire home with a ZEN System 5.
High efficiency Monocrystalline technology has been used in all Zen's solar modules so customers can achieve the maximum amount of power per square metre of roof space. "Suitable, north facing roof space is limited on residential homes and the 
vast majority of clients have a desire to expand their systems in the future, so allowing room can be a critical consideration up-front," says Richard. Another key component is the ZEN Solar Control Centre, normally mounted inside your garage or near your switchboard. "It's like a ‘smart' inverter, regulating and optimising all the power from the modules, logging the data and wirelessly transmitting it to the ZEN Home Monitor", Richard says.
The ZEN philosophy focuses on producing energy at home from renewable resources, this means reduced power consumption can be achieved through the use of smart appliances and lighting to enable a home to reach its balance of energy.
