Solar Energy Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more popularity and more and more folk are using this alternative source of energy, partly or fullybecaus of the benefits of using solar energy are countless as you will make savings on your electricity bills, you will reduce your carbon print as the amount of energy that you use will derease and you will find that solar energy is cleaner energy as it does not produce any pollutants.

Because the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitory and also for increased incentive 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 home then you qualify for solar rebates in Perth using Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). This is worked out using a lot of factors such as the size of your solar system and the amount of energy it produces, the situation of your house and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree on. 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 can get.

You should also realize that REC costs change just like the stock markets. To get the best 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 you aren't affected by fluctuating costs. You can also trade your RECs on the stock market. The best way to gain from solar rebates is to greatly scale back your electricity use.

This is straightforward in Perth as the weather is typically sunny and sunny.
