By Ian Milne


Solar energy has gained more recognition and more and more folks are using this alternative source of power partially or fully. The benefits of using solar energy are numerous as you will make savings on your energy bills, you'll scale back your carbon footemissions 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 contaminants.

As the installation costs of solar energy system can be prohibitive and also for increased motivation to make use of this cleaner form of energy, there's 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 a number of factors such as the size of your solar system and the amount of energy it produces, the location of your home and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree on. One REC unit is the same as 60 minutes of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you're able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you are able to get.

You must also be aware that REC prices change like the exchanges. To get the best from your REC units, you can hold 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 impacted by changing costs. You can trade your RECs on the stock market. The most effective way to gain from solar rebates is to greatly cut back your electricity use.

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