Solar energy powers your home at a fraction of the price of electricit­y

-

IT’S that time of the year again when energy prices are fiercely contested and heavily reviewed by the energy regulators. Historical­ly, it’s the time of year when our electricit­y tariffs go up. In the last five years consumers have been hit with an average 20% increase year on year. In 2017, the average household was hit with a $400 increase in electricit­y bills across the year, and higher again for businesses.

As we move towards July, what will your electricit­y bill look like? Some electricit­y retailers have been quick to commit to deliver savings this year. Not only are they promising to hold their tariffs this July, they are also indicating they will pass on savings to their customers, estimating savings of $26.00 across the year.

While this is good news for electricit­y customers, it’s only a gentle reprieve on the household budget. Solar on the other hand delivers exponentia­l savings for many years to come, and gives households the freedom to break free from the constantly changing electricit­y prices. Let’s break it down; the standard family of four will average between 12 – 15kWh daily usage across the year. Based on the Clean Energy Council recommende­d sunlight hours each day (averaged across the year) of 4.2 hours per day, a 6kW system stands to generate 25kWh each day, giving households the ability to generate all of your power needs free from the sun with a 6kW solar system. The excess power generated can be fed back to the grid to offset your night time usage. With the electricit­y savings alone, it’s possible to offset the cost of your solar system in electricit­y savings in less than three years, and every year after that its money back in your pocket. Now that’s a significan­t saving.
