Incorporate Solar Power Energy into your Home

The sun is an incredible part of our universe that provides more than just warmth and occasional sunburn – it supplies solar power energy to make calculators, automobiles and even appliances in the home run. This clean form of energy can be harnessed through silicon power cells and avoid harming the environment with emissions that cause water, air and environmental pollutants. Solar power provides enough energy in one hour to power all of the earth’s needs for 24 hours. That’s a lot of power to capture, and citizens are uniting to catch that energy through solar panels.

How to Grab some RaysIn Queensland, solar electricity is available from any number of solar installers. A company may provide hot water heaters generated by solar power, electricity through the installation of solar power panels, or even a solar pool heater, or in the best scenario - will offer all of these alternatives. You may choose to install just one of the above or all three, and often government rebates and Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC’s) will make it more affordable.

The Advantages of Solar Power PanelsBesides the benefit of reducing your carbon footprint by using less fossil fuels that create greenhouse gas, you and your family will see financial benefits as well. The average household with a 1.5 kilowatt Photovoltaic (PV) solar power electricity system will save approximately $450 a year on electricity bills. That’s after a solar power system is installed, and then an agreement is signed with and is metered by the electricity provider.

The way that dollar savings is realised is two-fold. First, because you are using energy from the sun, instead of the power provider, you are not spending money on the electricity. Secondly, when you are not using that solar power, it is fed into the grid for credits to your account. At this writing, the Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme pays 44 cents for each kilowatt hour of excess solar electricity created and supplied to the grid. This offering by the government is encouraging people of Queensland to consider installing solar power panels for electricity, to meet the goal of establishing a virtual power station and having a cleaner, greener country.

Solar Hot Water SavingsWhen you use hot water in your home, did you know that it affects your power bill? The good news is that by installing a solar hot water heater, your energy bill may be reduced up to 25%. Most of the heaters available can provide 80% of your hot water requirements, can work in warm and cool temperatures, and will have a warranty. Be sure to discuss all the options with a solar power company.

Easing into Solar Power in the HomeTo lighten your financial load in the installation, you may choose to have only one aspect of solar power energy – hot water or electricity - added to your home at a time. To do this, you may want to choose a company that offers both solar electricity and solar hot

water heaters so that you may have a plan that will work cohesively for the most effective solar power energy in your home.
