Brisbane Solar Hot Water Rebate
The Brisbane City Council has officially introduced a rebate for the installation of solar hot water in Brisbane.
The first 1,500 eligible residents receive an additional $400 off the standard solar hot water costs - on top of the $1,000 federal rebate and the renewable energy certificates (this payment varies and is currently between $1,500 and $2,000).
As a participating supplier, SolarPay.com.au offers the rebate as a Point of Sale discount. You will see it when you go through the quoting process.
As with all other rebates, we look after the forms and handle the council contact. So all you have to do is to make a decision to go ahead.
With our stall at the Riverfestival yesterday, we have already spoken to many interested people (along with 4 other suppliers).
Brisbane Has Seen the Light
It is great that the Brisbane City Council has realised that solar hot water is the single biggest consumer of electricity in every household. Lord Mayor Campbell Newman highlighted that for most people it will only be a 4-5 year payback and then they save money “year after year”.
In his speech, he also points out that solar hot water will make a significant difference to the hip pockets of householders across Brisbane.
I hope that the council gets absolutely overwhelmed with the response and has to figure out how to make the rebate available to many more householders than they are planning for now. And that other councils who want to reach sustainable targets follow suit.
Good on Brisbane for taking that initiative. And thanks a lot to pigswillfly.com.au for alerting me to it.
