Solar Energy Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more renown and more and more folks are using this alternative source of energy partly or completely. The benefits of using solar power are many as you will make savings on your electricity bills, you'll reduce your carbon print as the quantity of energy that you use and you will find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it doesn't produce any contaminants.

Because the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitory and also for increased motivation to make use of this cleaner sort of energy, there is 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 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). This is calculated using lots of elements such as the size of your solar system and the quantity of energy it produces, the situation of your home and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree on. One REC unit is equal to 1 hour of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you are able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you are able to get.

You need to also be aware that REC prices change just like the stock exchanges. To get the most out of your REC units, you can cling 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 are not affected by varying costs. You can also trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The most effective way to gain from solar rebates is to seriously scale back your electricity use.

This is easy in Perth as the weather is generally bright and sunny.
