Why Invest in Solar?

Did you know that Australia has the world's largest number of homes with solar panels, installed on over 1 million rooftops across Australia? With such enviable weather conditions, one knock-on effect is that Australia leads the way when it comes to the number of homes that have solar panels.

More than a million residential properties in the country now have the systems installed – that's more than one in 10 houses. The big rise in the number of Australian families fitting solar panels in the past five years or so has been led by a number of factors, such as higher energy bills, the falling cost of the panels, increased environmental awareness, and generous payments for any surplus electricity. Even with the recent Government annoucement to change to the feed in tariffs, solar still offers good return on investment!

So why should you consider going solar? Here are 3 great reasons:

1. Save on your energy bill

While solar power does require an initial investment, it doesn't take long for you to start seeing the savings. By generating power at your home, you're protecting yourself from imminent rises in electricity costs. With performance guarantees of 25 years, and payback in less than half of its life, it's a sound investment.

2. Save the environment

According to the Australian Clean Energy Council, solar power is a zero-emission electricity source and one megawatt hour of solar-derived electricity avoids approximately one tonne of CO2.

3. Take advantage of the government incentives

In Australia there are still incentives offered by Federal & most State governments for the installation of solar. With the assistance of some incentives, you could pay off your system quicker and enjoy a dramatically reduced power bill sooner. Our advice would be to get in quick while these are still around!
