Solar Power Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more recognition and more folk are using this alternative source of energy partly or fully. The benefits of using solar energy are countless as you will make savings on your energy bills, you will reduce your carbon footprint as the amount of energy that you use will be decreased and you'll find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it does not produce any pollutants.

As the installation costs of solar energy system can be excessive and also for increased motivation 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 home you will 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 is equal to 1 hour of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you are able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you can get.

You should also be aware that REC prices change just like the exchanges. To get the best 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 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 exchange. The most effective way to benefit from solar rebates is to greatly cut back your electricity use.

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