Solar Energy Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more popularity and more folks are using this alternative source of energy partly or absolutely. The advantages of using solar power are numerous as you will make savings on your electricity bills, you'll reduce your carbon print as the quantity of energy that you use will be decreased and you will find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it doesn't produce any pollutants.

Because the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitive and also for increased motivation to make use of this cleaner form of power, there's a system of solar rebates in Perth available.

When you install a solar system in your home then you qualify for solar rebates in Perth using Eco-friendly Power Certificates (RECs). This is figured out using a number of factors such as the size of your solar system and the amount of energy it produces, the situation of your house and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree on. One REC unit is equal to one hour of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you are able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you can get.

You must also realize that REC costs change just like the stock exchanges. To get the best from your REC units, you can cling on to them when the prices are low then sell when they are higher. To avoid all this altogether, you can take the standard discount from your solar system installer so that you aren't impacted by fluctuating costs. You may also trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The best way to profit from solar rebates is to seriously scale back your electricity use.

This is simple in Perth as the weather is generally sunny.
