Solar Power Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more recognition and more and more folks are using this alternative source of power partially or fully. The advantages of using solar power are countless as you will make savings on your electricity bills, you may scale back your carbon emissions footprint as the amount of energy that you use and you will find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it does not produce any contaminants.

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's a system of solar rebates in Perth available.

When you install a solar system in your home then you qualify for solar rebates in Perth using Renewable Energy 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 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 60 minutes of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you can generate using your solar system the more the savings you're able to get.

You need to also note that REC prices change just like the stock exchanges. To get the most out of your REC units, you can hold on to them when the costs are low then sell when they are higher.

To avoid all this altogether, you can take the standard discount from your solar system installer so that you aren't influenced by changing prices.

You can trade your RECs on the stock market. The most effective way to benefit from solar rebates is to greatly cut back your electricity use.

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