Adelaide, SA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/05/2010 -- The growth of the solar energy system industry has been rapid, as more and more people realise the financial and environmental advantages of using solar power.

But many of the solar energy suppliers to recently join the market have been attracted by the influx of buyers and the money to be made, and are not experts in solar power.

At ZEN Home Energy Systems, we are experts, and we know the importance of using only the best quality solar power systems and installing them correctly. Solar power is still electricity and, if systems are installed incorrectly, it can put the safety of families and businesses at risk.

``Unfortunately for consumers, there are still some low quality systems in the market place as well as poorly trained installers,’’ ZEN Home Energy Systems Chief Executive Officer Richard Turner said.

``The Government recently announced tighter safety controls around the installation of rooftop solar panels, which is a welcomed move for the industry.

``ZEN actively participates in the improvement of these safety standards and sets a benchmark for solar energy installations in Australia.’’

As Australia’s first fully integrated solar home energy system provider, ZEN each year safely installs thousands of grid connected solar power systems on homes.

ZEN uses only the highest quality solar panels, made by the industry’s leading manufacturers.

But the best solar energy systems require more than the best components. They must also be expertly installed.

The right installation not only maximises solar energy production, therefore saving home and business owners more on their electricity bills, but it ensures the highest level of safety.

ZEN’s commitment to safety extends to employing only licensed electricians with Clean Energy Council qualifications. All ZEN installers are put through a rigorous program at the ZEN Solar Academy, training them to well above industry standards.

With ZEN, safety is in everything we do.

Our custom made roof mounting systems are designed to maximize efficiency and ensure clearance of leaf matter and debris. Whilst our concealed wiring systems and earthing of every individual panel prevent any chance of electrocution.

These are not industry standards - they are ZEN standards and they come with every system we install.

``It’s prudent for householders to go with a trusted company, and not one that cuts corners,’’ Mr Turner said.

If you choose ZEN for you home energy system, you can rest knowing we don’t cut corners, and your family is safe.
