the economics of solar power

Save with solar power

The Australian Federal Government supports the installation of solar power systems with its Solar Credits Scheme.

This is an initiative which helps reduce the initial purchase price of your solar power system by awarding Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

Additionally, the state government’s feed-in tariff helps to decrease or eliminate the cost of your power bill. As a result, this helps to payback your solar power system faster and increase your return on investment.

Other benefits of solar power

• Reduced electricity and energy consumption resulting in ongoing savings. As prices go up, your savings go up, protecting you against rising energy costs
• Government incentives including solar credits and feed-in tariffs by which you can actually earn money from feeding excess energy back into the power grid
• Increased property value
• Reduced greenhouse gas emission/carbon footprint which helps to slow the rate of climate change
• Clean electricity from the energy of the sun
• No contribution to pollution, acid rain or global warming (same as previous point, combine the two)
• Unlike wind and hydro electric power renewable solar power does not interfere with the surrounding environment
• The fuel supply is unlimited. Sunshine is free, with no maintenance. However the demand for electricity will increase, as will its cost
• The great feeling you get from knowing you are part of a community who has decided to make a difference

 

the economics of LED lighting

Better lighting at a reduced ongoing cost

LED lights have all the benefits of halogen lights but none of the drawbacks. In the long run they will save you money, save the environment, and save you time on maintenance and part replacement.

Our LED lights stand out as having the fastest payback of any energy efficient technology on the market. Packaging your LED lighting with solar power will increase your savings and therefore make the decision both financially and environmentally advantageous.

Benefits of LED lights

• Designed explicitly for the harsh Australian environment, LED’s have a lifespan of 15 - 30 years. Fifteen times that of conventional halogen lights
• Use 80% less power than halogen lights
• Reduced lighting power bill
• Maintenance free, saving you time and money
• Insulation friendly, no fire risk
• Come preassembled and are easy to install
• Made from 100% recyclable materials
• Absolutely free from toxic heavy metals such as Mercury, Lead and Hexavalent Chromium
• Unlike halogen and fluorescent lights, LED’s emit no UV light or EM radiation, making them incredibly skin friendly with the added bonus that they won’t fade your furnishings
• Complete return on investment in 1 – 2 years. After that all your reduced power costs are like money in your pocket
• Even more savings when combined with solar power
• The great feeling you get from knowing you are part of a community who has decided to make a difference
