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 lots of elements like 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 on. One REC unit is equal to one 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.

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