Five Compelling Motives to Adopt Solar Energy

The transition to solar energy is often driven by various personal or commercial reasons. Whether it’s a desire to foster environmental sustainability or an effort to trim down on energy expenditures, solar power offers attractive advantages. Here’s a compilation of five compelling motives for considering this transformation.

Crafting a Zero-Dollar Electricity Bill

Not every solar solution provider has the expertise to guarantee a zero-dollar electricity bill, but a tailored approach that combines precise calculations with individual needs can make this attainable. By evaluating your historical energy consumption and discussing your habits and potential feed-in tariffs, a personalized solar system can be designed to genuinely wipe out your electricity bills.

Bid Farewell to Bill Surprises

Extreme weather fluctuations in Australia sometimes prompt the extensive use of appliances like air conditioners, leading to unexpected surges in electricity bills. By opting for solar energy, you liberate yourself from the fear of unanticipated high bills, aligning your energy consumption with comfort and necessity rather than financial constraints.

Financing Solar: A Thrifty Alternative to Utility Bills

The decision to finance a rooftop solar system might seem daunting, but opting for specialized Green Energy Loan options can be a financially savvy choice. Although it’s vital to consult with financial experts, loan repayments for solar installations can often be less burdensome than regular electricity bills, enabling quicker financial benefits and tangible value for your investment.

Contribute to Environmental Preservation

The relentless depletion of Earth’s natural resources has far-reaching implications for our climate and lifestyle. By embracing solar power—a 100% renewable source that doesn’t rely on water, gas, oil, or coal—you actively participate in the global effort to mitigate environmental degradation.

Join a Growing Trend

The year 2020 witnessed unprecedented challenges, from natural disasters to a global pandemic. Amidst the turmoil, a positive trend emerged as people became more conscious of their environmental impact. Solar power played a significant role, with an estimated 6.6 gigawatts of installations expected in Australia by the start of 2021. This record attests to a widespread commitment to reduce carbon footprints, making solar an increasingly popular choice.

Adopting solar energy is not just a step towards financial prudence or ecological stewardship; it is a movement towards a more sustainable future. It represents a collective effort to forge a path that respects both individual needs and global responsibilities.

Home Solar Solutions

Our foundation lies in providing residential solar systems. From the beginning, we’ve joined hands with homeowners, utilizing our experts’ rich experience to tailor systems that align with individual requirements and energy patterns.

As the appeal of fossil fuels wanes and homeowners look to cut electricity costs, Australia has witnessed an unprecedented surge in residential solar installations. Whether you aim to go green or save green, our skilled team can craft a solar solution for any budget or goal, employing top-tier, Australia-tested products.

Our Process:

Step 1:

We start with a personalized visit to gauge your energy consumption and assess your rooftop’s suitability for solar. Your unique energy needs are our top priority.

Step 2:

Our team will demystify your electricity bills, explaining the charges and how our precise calculations translate into a custom system that offers multifaceted savings. We’ll present tangible figures that could lead to zero or greatly reduced electricity costs. By leveraging actual historical data and considering your future home improvements, we’ll determine the ideal system for you.

Step 3:

Understanding the broader financial landscape, we’ll walk you through feed-in tariffs and the federal government’s Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs). This insight will enable you to see the full financial picture and recognize how solar can favourably impact your budget. After our meeting, we’ll supply a clear and concise document detailing the potential savings and costs for you to review at your leisure.

We stand by our commitment to making solar a viable and valuable choice for your home.

Government Solar Incentives

In Australia, a governmental program known as the Small-Scale Technology Certificate Scheme, or “STC,” is in place. This initiative provides financial incentives to encourage the installation of renewable energy technologies, including solar panels, inverters, and energy storage options like solar batteries.

QLD

In Queensland, as of the year 2020, residents can take advantage of two key solar incentive initiatives.

Under the SERS, each solar system is granted one STC for every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (KWh) it’s projected to produce from the time of installation through 2030. These STCs are purchasable by electricity retailers, who are mandated to buy them to meet the Renewable Energy Target governed by the Clean Energy Regulator.

The value of an STC fluctuates between $35 and $40. For instance, a 10-kilowatt system (as of 2020) could amass approximately 150 STCs, translating into an incentive between $5250 and $6000, or $525 to $600 per kilowatt. Since the typical solar power system costs around $1600 per kilowatt before incentives in Australia, the STC scheme can slash the initial expense by about a third.
Interestingly, the STCs awarded are influenced by the system’s capacity and local sunshine levels. Therefore, installations nearer to Australia’s desert regions, where sunlight is more abundant, may earn more STCs per kilowatt.

NSW

In New South Wales, electricity rates frequently hover over 30 cents per kilowatt-hour, with peak time-of-use tariffs sometimes surpassing 50 cents. Solar energy presents a viable option for mitigating these elevated costs, making it an appealing venture for both residential and commercial entities in NSW.

As of 2020, NSW does not operate a localized solar incentive scheme. However, solar installations up to 100 kilowatts are eligible for Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STC) via the nationwide Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SERS).

Moreover, the NSW Government has extended its support to solar energy by offering financing options for solar systems equipped with batteries and for augmenting existing solar installations with batteries. A pilot project is also underway to provide 3-kilowatt solar systems to 3,000 qualifying low-income households in designated areas of NSW.

Each solar installation garners one STC for every projected 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) it will produce from its activation date through 2030. These certificates can be traded to electricity providers, fulfilling their statutory requirements under the Renewable Energy Target.

With each STC fetching between $35 and $40, a 10-kilowatt system (reflecting 2020 figures) could accumulate roughly 150 STCs. This would translate into incentives ranging from $5250 to $6000, or an equivalent $525 to $600 per kilowatt. Considering the pre-incentive cost of solar in Australia averages $1600 per kilowatt, the STC program may cut the initial investment by approximately one-third.

The number of STCs may increase for systems placed inland, near Australia’s desert areas, as the calculation of STCs considers factors such as system size and local solar exposure, granting more STCs per kilowatt in sunnier locations.
