The advantages of using solar energy are countless as you will make savings on your power bills, you may cut back your carbon print as the amount of energy that you use will significantly decrease and you will find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it does not produce any pollutants.

As the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitory and also for increased inducement 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 lots of elements like the size of your solar system and the quantity of energy it produces, the position of your home and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree upon. 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 are able to get.

You need to also note that REC costs change like the stock markets. To get the best from your REC units, you can cling 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 you aren't influenced by varying prices. You may also trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The best way to gain from solar rebates is to seriously cut back your electricity use.

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