Solar Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more renown and more and more people are using this alternative source of energy partially or completely. The advantages of using solar power are many as you will make savings on your energy bills, you may reduce your carbon print as the amount of energy that you use 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 excessive and also for increased incentive to make use of this cleaner sort of energy, there's 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 calculated using a number of factors such as the size of your solar system and the quantity 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 on.

One REC unit equals 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 are able to get.

You need to also realize that REC costs change just like the stock exchanges. To get the most 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 a standard discount from your solar system installer so that you are not impacted by changing prices. You can also trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The best way to gain from solar rebates is to seriously scale back your electricity use.

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