Why consider Solar?
- Renewable energy resource. Solar energy will be available for millions of years, and there is more than enough to supply all of the world’s energy needs. Australia has the highest solar radiation per square metre of any continent!
- There are now over 1.4 million roofs in Australia with Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels installed, with the vast majority having been installed in the last 3 years.
- Australia has a Federal Government’s Solar Credits Scheme which provides a subsidy for the installation of a system
- Solar energy is free and solar panels have a long life – Therefore they are a good long term investment
- Large rooftop areas can be put to good use: minimise your exposure to rising electricity costs that can save you hundreds of dollars every quarter as energy prices have risen by over 80% in the last 5 years!
- System prices have reduced due to technology improvements in recent times
- Works to protect you from any rise in electricity prices in the future
- Can be stored in battery, and used at night, further reducing or eliminating your energy bill all together
- As you create your own energy, you use less from the grid which should lead to savings on your power bills.
- Solar panels can be a real estate selling point and potentially add market value to your home.
