Solar Energy Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more popularity and more and more folk are using this alternative source of power partially or completely. The advantages of using solar electricity are numerous as you will make savings on your electricity bills, you'll reduce 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 contaminants.

As the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitive and also for increased incentive to make use of this cleaner sort 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 Green Energy Certificates (RECs). This is calculated using a number of factors such as 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 on. One REC unit is the same as one hour of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you're able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you can get.

You must also realize that REC costs change just like the stock markets. To get the most from your REC units, you can hold 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 affected by changing costs. You can also trade your RECs on the exchange. The best way to benefit from solar rebates is to seriously cut back your electricity use.

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