Solar Energy Rebates in Perth

Solar Energy Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


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

As the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitive and also for increased motivation to make use of this cleaner form of energy, 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 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 position 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 the same as 60 minutes of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you're able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you can get.

You must also note that REC prices change like the stock markets. To get the best from your REC units, you can hold on to them when the costs 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 you are not impacted by changing costs.

You can trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The most effective way to gain from solar rebates is to seriously cut back your electricity use.

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