Solar Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more renown and more and more folk are using this alternative source of power partly or completely. The benefits of using solar energy are numerous 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.

Because 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 Green Energy Certificates (RECs). This is figured 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 upon.

One REC unit equals 1 hour of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you can generate using your solar system the more the savings you are able to get.

You must also be aware that REC prices change like the stock markets. To get the most out of your REC units, you can cling on to them when the prices 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 you are not affected by fluctuating costs. You may also trade your RECs on the exchange. The best way to gain from solar rebates is to seriously scale back your electricity use.

This is straightforward in Perth as the weather is typically sunny.
