Solar & Battery Combo
Sunlight Transformed
Power Your Home with Solar Electricity!
Rooftop solar can drastically cut your energy bills, giving you control over your energy costs. However, if you’ve recently moved, you might not enjoy the same financial benefits as before. Back in 2010, when solar panel installation was a new trend, energy suppliers offered a generous feed-in tariff of up to 44c per kWh. Unfortunately, this benefit doesn’t transfer when you relocate, and you can’t apply it to the existing system at your new home.
The solution?
With rising electricity prices, consider adding home battery storage or a Solar & Battery Combo. This free power from the sun offers many advantages:
- Use your power to run your home even after the sun goes down.
-
It saves you money!
- Green energy reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
-
It saves the earth!
- Having available power at peak times helps ease pressure on the grid.
-
It helps your community!
- You can add backup power.
-
It’s safe during power blackouts!
Are you considering upgrading to a more extensive solar system? Early solar panels typically had a capacity of just 1.5kWh, but today, most installations start at 5kWh. Despite rising electricity prices, the cost of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems has significantly decreased, keeping them affordable. The payback period is generally between 2 and 5 years.
Solar panels remain a smart choice for cutting your energy bills, and the government still offers Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which can save you $3,000 to $4,000 on a new installation. Additionally, ‘green loans’ from suppliers like Plenti Finance offer lower interest rates than typical personal loans. While the cost of electricity supply is about 30c per kWh, the feed-in tariff ranges from 2c to 8c per kWh, according to CanstarBlue.
