How do I claim solar credits?

We Answered:

Hello Marta,

We understand that people get easily confused with government rebates and all the regarding regulations. That's why we have put a easy guide on our web page on how to get a new solar power system discounted with the government solar rebate: http://www.carbonfootie.com.au/solar-pow…
To break it down on a simple level: When you install a new solar power system you get entitled for Renewable Energy Certificates (REC). They are like shares and can vary in their price. Actually REC are worth around $30 (17/02/2010). These REC's get multiplied with the solar credits. This multiplier gets smaller by the time and therefore benefits the early adopters. The sooner you get your new Solar Power System the better. ;-)
To claim your REC's from the government you must fill out a lot of forms. But no worries. If you want - we will arrange all the paperwork for you.
You can try our REC-Calculator to find out how many REC's you receive. Answering how much it will save you on you bill is not that easy. As everyone has his individual situation and circumstances we prefer to give you an personalized quote. This way we can recommend the perfect size of the solar panel array on your roof. And the size will determine the output of electricity that will power your household devices. You see that is a complex topic, thus if you need more information or want to arrange an obligation free consulting, please feel free to contact us on http://www.carbonfootie.com.au/contact and one of our friendly environmental consultants will help you.
