Solar Power Rebates in Perth

Solar Power Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more popularity and more and more folks are using this alternative source of energy partially or fully. The benefits of using solar power are countless as you will make savings on your power bills, you will scale back your carbon emissions footprint as the amount of energy that you use 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 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). This is calculated using a number of factors like 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're able to get.

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

This is simple in Perth as the weather is typically bright.
