Solar Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more popularity and more and more folk are using this alternative source of energy partly or absolutely. The benefits of using solar electricity are numerous as you will make savings on your power bills, you may cut back your carbon emissions footprint as the amount of energy that you use will significantly decrease 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 excessive and also for increased incentive to make use of this cleaner form of power, there is a system of solar rebates in Perth available.

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

You must also note that REC prices change like the exchanges. To get the most from your REC units, you can cling on to them when the costs are low then sell when they are higher.

To avoid all this altogether, you can take a standard discount from your solar system installer so that you are not impacted by changing costs. You may also trade your RECs on the exchange. The best way to gain from solar rebates is to seriously cut back your electricity use.

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