26-Oct-2009 Solar Rebates Update If you want to make big savings on your electricity bill now is the time to act! The improved solar electricity buy back scheme, known as a feed-in-tariff, will be introduced in just over one month making now the perfect time to install a solar electricity system. Anyone with a system will be paid four times the retail rate, 60c per kilowatt hour, for the excess electricity you do not use immediately and feed into the grid.

“An energy efficient home could save up to $1000 per year on their electricity bill if they installed a 1.5kW system” ” Said Adam Tesoriero, Director of SolarSwitch.

The feed in tariff is not the only incentive; there is also a new solar electricity rebate which is not means tested and is open to everyone, including businesses. It’s based on the Renewable Energy Certificates or “RECs” which have been falling in value, but SolarSwitch still guarantee this rebate as a high point of sale discount of $7000 for a 1.5kW system, so you really are making the maximum saving.

For those who recently gained approval for the old $8000 solar electricity rebate you don’t have to wait months for installation. SolarSwitch can install your system right now so you can take advantage of the spring and summer sun. Call our friendly staff for pricing.

“Our turn-around time from order to installation is only a matter of a few weeks in most cases” Said Adam Tesoriero, Director of SolarSwitch.

Having installed over 1000 solar electricity systems in NSW SolarSwitch has the knowledge, expertise and dedicated staff to carry out your installation in a timely and professional manner.

“We pride ourselves on installing quality equipment sourced from reputable manufacturers, that will be around to honour your 25 year manufacturer’s warranty….this is a lifetime investment after all” Said Mr Tesoriero.

SolarSwitch offer the highest quality monocrystalline solar panels and German inverters that are the most efficient and widely used in the world.

“We are also an authorized dealer for SunPower who offer the most efficient solar panels available on the market, including a brand new 300 Watt panel” Said Mr Tesoriero.

Each installation is managed and carried out by SolarSwitch’s licensed, insured and Business Council of Sustainable Energy accredited electricians.

There are also solar hot water rebates available of up to $4500 for those replacing an electric hot water system. Solar hot water can generate up to 90% of your hot water needs free from the sun. An electric booster kicks in whenever there is a shortfall.

NSW electricity prices continue to skyrocket with another 21% increase now in effect from July this year.

“So with all the rebates now available and the new solar buy-back scheme there’s never been a better time to install solar. Why wait when you can cut your energy costs and start helping the environment today” Said Mr Tesoriero.
