Why you should have solar panels in Brisbane
Power prices are already sky high but sadly they’re set to climb even further. The best was to stay ahead of the curve is to be active and do something about it. Solar panels, while presenting initial setup costs (minimised thanks to the solar rebate), are more about the long-term gains offered by harnessing the sun’s energy and using it to “freely” power your home. Free power is good power.
In sunny Brisbane, it’s almost certain you won’t use all the electricity produced by your solar panels. So what does this mean for you? It means you get a “feed-in tariff” for electricity you don’t use.
How feed-in tariffs work
Energy produced by your solar power system is converted to electricity and used in your house. Any electricity that isn’t used can be exported to the electricity grid. You may be eligible for a payment for the exported electricity. This payment is called a feed-in tariff.
If you have solar panels in Brisbane or greater southeast Queensland, you may get a market feed-in tariff directly from your electricity retailer. There is no mandated rate for electricity exported to the grid so electricity retailers offer competitive, market-based tariff rates. This means you should shop around for the best deal. AIRS Electrical Contractors can help you sort the best from the rest when it comes to electricity prices.
