Solar has become more accessible and affordable within the last 5 years! Are you considering investing in a solar power system? Well, the team at Energis have come up with 7 benefits of installing rooftop solar (and it’s not just the savings)!
#1 Saving The Planet
The most important benefit of the 6 benefits of installing rooftop solar is saving the planet! When you produce electricity with solar power instead of using fossil fuels you can significantly reduce your carbon emissions!
We understand that one of the main reasons the majority of households choose to get solar is because of the savings. However, because of the current climate, it is very imperative that more and more businesses and residents take on green initiatives in an effort to reduce their overall greenhouse gas emissions.
#2 Savings
One of the benefits of installing rooftop solar is savings! How much you will save is very much dependent on your electricity usage, when you use your electricity, the location of your property, your roof-type, the size of your solar power system and whether it has solar monitoring or a battery installed.
To give you an idea of how much a commercial property could make, please see our commercial solar monitoring blog post example here! With a 32kW solar power system, this Melbourne-based business offset their entire electricity bill and ended up with a $3.85c credit!
#3 Short Payback Period
On average, in Australia, a typical residential rooftop solar installation of 6.6kW will take approximately 3-5 years to pay back. This is also dependant on the type of system you opt for and your electricity usage rate. For a commercial system, it is generally less. See some of our commercial installations and their payback periods here!
#4 Up The Value Of Your Property
Another benefit of getting rooftop solar is increasing the attractiveness of your property. It will be brought to the attention of buyers as a house or business with solar power will translate to lower electricity costs and decreased greenhouse gases, potential buyers of your property will see this value and appreciate the existing system.
#5 Government Incentives
In Victoria, there are Government incentives available such as the Federal Government STC incentive and the Solar Victoria Panel Rebate which is making rooftop solar so affordable! As of January 1st, 2020, eligible Victorians can receive a rebate of up to $1,888 off their residential solar power systems! The team at Energis would be more than happy to run you through the process and answer any questions you may have about this incredible government incentive and how you can make the most of it.
#6 Performance Guarantee
Another important benefit of rooftop solar is guaranteed performance. Majority of reputable companies (like Energis) and manufacturers will provide lengthy warranties to ensure the performance of your system. For example, our key modules; JA Solar, have a 25-year performance warranty period!
However, warranties will only be honoured for as long as the company continues to operate. So it is very important to do your research and choose a reputable company that has been in the industry for a long period of time!
