Immediate savings from renewable power
The benefits of using solar power to generate energy are becoming increasingly evident as more and more homes and businesses harness this natural resource.
With the huge increase in power bills, the cost reductions and savings using solar power generation are undeniable. Depending on the size and type of system, reliance on energy companies can be reduced by thousands of dollars a year.
The savings are immediate. As soon as the solar system is switched on, it starts generating power for your home. Some customers can become totally self-sufficient within a few years of installing solar panels.
Small-scale Technology Certificates
Under the Australian Government Renewable Energy Target legislation, solar systems can qualify for credits in the form of STCs. These STCs have a cash value and can be used to pay for some of the installation costs.
- The current market value of STCs
- The size of the solar system
- The location where the system is installed
Energy Assist can calculate this during a site inspection and recommend the best system for the maximum incentive. The value of the STCs is then deducted from the installation price.
Environment and property value
Solar is renewable. The sun will always shine and there is no environmental impact in harnessing the sun's energy to generate power.
Houses with good solar panel installations have been proven to sell faster and for more money, making solar a practical investment as well as a sustainable one.
