Switch to Solar Power

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Be paid for the electricity you produce

In Queensland, every kWh of electricity produced by your solar power system above what you use (at any given moment in time), can be sold back into the power grid for 44 cents or more (compared with the 18 cents it costs to purchase electricity). See Net Feed In Tariff for details.

“Energex installed the new meter while we were away on holiday, and when we got back I found we had generated plenty of power. Our first bill showed that they owed us $38 after fees and ambulance cover etc. I’ve checked the meter daily since we got back and generally we make between $1.00 and $1.50 per day. Needless to say, we’re very happy with the system.”

Other states have their own regulations, and there is a push towards a standard Australian regulation, but nothing decided as yet.

Quality solar systems

We use quality brand panels with performance guarantees and warranties and aluminium brackets are used for maximum lifespan.
All installations are managed and carried out by licensed, insured electricians, accredited by the Business Council of Sustainable Energy.
All solar power systems come with a 10 year plain English warranty.

Why such an affordable price?

We are able to offer you an excellent price because we have negotiated bulk purchase for the panels and inverters. The prices we quote take into account the Federal Government’s Solar Credits are based on you assigning all RECs/Solar Credits to us.

Any additional costs?

CEC Accreditation LogoAdditional costs are rare, but may be incurred if:

  • your switchboard does not comply with current regulations. In these circumstances the electrician is obliged by law to upgrade it
  • the angle of your roof is such that additional brackets are needed to position the panels differently

The vast majority of our installations are standard, involving no additional costs.

Refund policy

Should your roof not be suitable, all money will be refunded in full with no administration fees charged.

Your household can make a difference

A 1.6kW system on your home will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 2.3 tonnes a year.
