Residential Solar Power In The Sunshine State

Residential Solar Power In The Sunshine State

The first question is usually how is business and then followed by are there still rebates for solar in Queensland?
Well I am very excited to tell you that the answer is YES – a big YES indeed!! Queensland you are the lucky state with an excellent Solar Rebate.

- Strong STC market = increase rebate discount available

- Legislated 44c net feed-in tariff (+6c offered at retailers discretion) = payback at a higher rate than the cost of power.

- Quality panels selling at record low prices = savings

- Quality High Output Inverters offering fantastic value = savings

- Great Value offers from REPUTABLE companies = savings and peace of mind for you and your family.

If you are buying a solar system now, or thinking about investing in a system in the near future, you will be very happy to know that NOW is the right time to do so. Not only would I consider it to be the right time now, but also POTENTIALLY the BEST TIME to do so.

Rising power prices means TODAY IT’S COSTING YOU MORE MONEY TO STAY AT HOME. We are using increasingly more and more, electrical goods in the home. Simply count the number of plugs into your homes power outlets. You will be amazed to see where all that power is going to use.

People asking me whether it is worth doing – getting a solar system installed. My question is Do you enjoy opening your power bill every quarter, only to find another EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH POWER BILL? Wouldn’t you rather receive a power bill where you see a SOLAR CREDIT BEING ISSUED TO YOU and offsetting your account?

The reason I say “potentially” is because there is a lot of cheap product on the market due to an oversupply in world markets, and Australia is receiving a lot of discounted stock.

The average shopper is a pretty savvy buyer these days when it comes to researching products thanks to the internet. However, solar panels are not something that the average person is very familiar with. Let’ face it, all solar panels look alike on the surface, and they all have a 25 year ‘Output Warranty’ on them. And with so many companies offering such ridiculously cheap deals, one could be easily led down the heavily discounted path hunting for the cheapest advertised price.

But Please… BUYERS BEWARE! Here’s why…

LJW SOLAR are NOW operating in QLD and getting people started in solar the right way.

Solar Bonus Remains Strong in Queensland

by LJW Solar on October 4, 2011

What is the feed in tariff in Queensland?

Despite many other states winding back feed in tariffs (NSW, ACT, SA, WA, Vic, just to name a few…) Queensland Premier Anna Bligh came out this month and supported their feed in tariff on an ongoing basis.

Energy and Water Utilities Minister Stephen Robertson has accused other states of being “foolish and short sighted” for cutting payments to home owners who feed their solar electricity back to the grid.

Here is the full Brisbane Times article.

The scheme in Qld is limited to just 5kW, but pays a generous 44c per kW. See full details here.

Let’s hope that the scheme there remains strong for a while, to give some certainty to customers.

And, let’s hope that some of this sense rubs off in NSW!
