Solar Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more renown and more folks are using this alternative source of energy partially or fully. The benefits of using solar power are numerous as you will make savings on your power bills, you will cut back your carbon footprint as the amount of energy that you use will be decreased and you'll find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it does not 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 is a system of solar rebates in Perth available.

When you install a solar system in your home you will qualify for solar rebates in Perth using Green Energy Certificates (RECs). This is calculated using a lot of factors like the size of your solar system and the amount of energy it produces, the position of your house and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree upon. One REC unit is equal to one hour of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you can generate using your solar system the more the savings you can get.

You need to also realize that REC prices change just like the stock exchanges. To get the most out of your REC units, you can cling 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 are not affected by fluctuating costs. You may also trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The best way to gain from solar rebates is to considerably scale back your electricity use.

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