Why consider getting solar panels in the first place?
Powering your living space with a natural source of light is anyday more sustainable and cost-efficient than having to pay rising electricity prices. Solar panels are an excellent way to harness the sun’s natural energy to meet your everyday electricity needs. With recent advancements in technology, you can avail yourself of systems that are exclusive, modern and within your budget.
The Australian government has introduced many rebates, schemes and incentives to make systems more widely available. These initiatives also significantly reduce the costs of solar panel installations.
Making Future Investments, Today
The prices for panels vary depending on the size of the system you are opting for. An estimated price range starts from $2,900 and goes up to $10,000. There will be upfront charges involved as well that can be covered by government incentives.
These figures may look huge and the whole idea of going green may seem expensive but truth be told, solar systems have a higher return on investment. With the advantage of the feed-in tariff, you can earn just by sharing unused electricity units with the grid. It is noteworthy that having these installations of your own adds to savings by significantly reducing electricity bills.
