Solar Rebates in Perth

By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more renown and more and more folk are using this alternative source of power partly or fully. The benefits of using solar electricity are countless as you will make savings on your power bills, you may cut 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 incentive 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 the same as 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 are able to get.

You need to also be aware that REC costs change like the stock exchanges. To get the best from your REC units, you can cling on to them when the costs are low then sell when they're higher. To avoid all this altogether, you can take a standard discount from your solar system installer so that you are not influenced by varying prices. You may also trade your RECs on the stock exchange. The most effective way to profit from solar rebates is to seriously scale back your electricity use.

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