Solar Power Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more renown and more and more folks are using this alternative source of power partly or completely. The benefits of using solar energy are many as you will make savings on your energy bills, you will cut back your carbon emissions footprint as the quantity of energy that you use will be decreased and you'll find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it doesn't produce any pollutants.

As the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitory 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 house then you qualify for solar rebates in Perth using Green Energy Certificates (RECs). This is worked out using a number of factors such as the size of your solar system and the amount of energy it produces, the location of your house and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree upon. One REC unit equals 60 minutes of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you can generate using your solar system the more the savings you can get.

You should also be aware that REC prices change just like the stock exchanges. To get the best from your REC units, you can cling on to them when the costs 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 that you are not impacted by changing costs. You may also trade your RECs on the exchange. The best way to profit from solar rebates is to seriously scale back your electricity use.

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