Solar Energy Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more renown and more people are using this alternative source of power partly or fully. The advantages of using solar electricity are many as you will make savings on your energy bills, you'll cut back your carbon footemissions footprint as the amount of energy that you use will be decreased and you will 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 is a system of solar rebates in Perth available.

When you install a solar system in your house you will qualify for solar rebates in Perth using Eco-friendly Power Certificates (RECs). This is worked out using lots of elements such as the size of your solar system and the amount of energy it produces, the position of your home 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 can generate using your solar system the more the savings you are able to get.

You need to also note that REC costs change like the exchanges. To get the most from 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 that you aren't influenced by changing costs. You can also trade your RECs on the exchange. The best way to benefit from solar rebates is to seriously scale back your electricity use.

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