Solar Energy Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more renown and more and more folks are using this alternative source of energy partially or fully. The advantages of using solar electricity are countless as you will make savings on your power bills, you will reduce your carbon print as the quantity of energy that you use 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 prohibitive and also for increased motivation to make use of this cleaner form of energy, 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 position of your house and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree on.

One REC unit is equal to 60 minutes of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you are able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you can get.

You must also note that REC prices change just like the stock markets. To get the most from 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 the standard discount from your solar system installer so you aren't affected by changing prices. You may also trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The most effective way to gain from solar rebates is to greatly scale back your electricity use.

This is straightforward in Perth as the weather is generally bright.
