What You Ought To Know About Solar Power Rebates

Google Custom Search

When solar power first sprang into existence and the government was trying to encourage everyone to place solar panels on their roofs, they offered a large rebate as an incentive. This is now closed – it finished in 2009. However, there is still an incentive programme. Generally speaking it does not give as much as the former solar power rebates did, but it is still very worthwhile.

These solar power rebates come in the form of certificates (RECs)that are worth a specific amount of money. How many you get depends on how big a solar system you put up. Naturally, the larger systems attract the most solar certificates, but even those that are quite small will still attract around one hundred RECs – worth some thousands of dollars.

How you access this is usually by transferring your certificates to the installer of your solar system. This saves you having to do anything more and he will give you a discount to the value of the certificates. But it is possible to apply for a cash refund from the appropriate body yourself. While this is normally done by the companies who do the installing, it can be done by the general public too.

While many people were interested in solar power only while the former rebates were available, it is still worthwhile getting a solar power system of your own to supplement or replace your present power supply. Firstly, you will not be subject to the many blackouts from storms or other accidents that so frequently occur in many areas and secondly, you will be constantly saving on the cost of your power supplies. It is even possible that you will be able to supply all your own power and have some left over to sell back to the grid. When you consider that photovoltaic panels last for so many years with very little maintenance, this is quite a good return on your investment. And of course you are helping to save the planet too.
