Solar Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more recognition and more folks are using this alternative source of energy partly or fully. The benefits of using solar power are numerous as you will make savings on your power bills, you will scale back your carbon print as the amount of energy that you use will significantly decrease and you'll find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it doesn't produce any contaminants.

Because the installation costs of solar energy system can be excessive 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 home then you qualify for solar rebates in Perth using Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). This is calculated using a lot of factors like 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 is the same as 1 hour of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you're able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you're able to get.

You need to also realize that REC prices change just like the stock markets. To get the most out of your REC units, you can cling on to them when the costs 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 are not impacted by varying prices. You may also trade your RECs on the stock market. The best way to profit from solar rebates is to greatly scale back your electricity use.

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