Solar Energy Pro’s

The Brisbane solar panel market is booming due to a combination of 3 factors;

1. Federal Government solar power rebate. The initial installation cost of the solar power system is subsidized by the Federal Government. This rebate drops each year so potential Brisbane solar power customers are looking to lock in these subsides now
2. As discussed on the solar panels Brisbane home page , the Queensland State Government 44 cent feed in tariff . Brisbane solar panel owners effectively get paid twice as much for solar electricity that they feed back onto the grid than they pay.
3. Concerns that the carbon tax will push electricity prices up over the next decade in Australia.

Solar Energy Advantages

• With the Brisbane and Queensland solar feed in tariff , the solar panels system will pay itself off quickly and/or reduce you power bills
• Solar Panel systems are ‘passive’- that is they have no moving parts . Solar Panels should produce solar electricity for at leat 25 years (most Brisbane solar installation companies offer a 25 electrical warranty on the electrical output of the solar panels , specifically that the solar panels will produce 80 percent of their rated output after 25 years.
• Solar power systems are remarkably low maintenance systems. You should not have to pay a lot of money over the years in maintaining your solar system. (Occasional cleaning of the panels if a dust storm etc hits)
• Help reduce carbon emissions from coal fired power stations.
• Solar energy systems are basically very simple. There is little to go wrong provided solar installers do a competent job and quality components (solar panels , solar inverter , wiring and quality installation)
• If you have enough roof space , solar panel systems in Brisbane complement solar hot water systems . With other household energy efficiency measures such as home insulation , L.E.D lighting and solar airconditioning you can achieve energy self sufficiency. Many Brisbane homes already are.
