Solar Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more recognition and more and more folk are using this alternative source of power partially or completely. The advantages of using solar energy are numerous as you will make savings on your electricity bills, you may reduce your carbon emissions footprint as the amount of energy that you use will significantly decrease and you'll find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it doesn't produce any contaminants.

Because the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitive and also for increased inducement 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 Green Energy Certificates (RECs). This is worked out using a lot of factors like the size of your solar system and the amount 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 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're able to get.

You must also realize that REC prices change just like the stock exchanges. To get the best from your REC units, you can hold on to them when the prices 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 affected by fluctuating costs. You can trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The most effective way to benefit from solar rebates is to considerably cut back your electricity use.

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