Fix your solar rebate with SAE Group

-

THE cost of installing a solar system has not changed in recent months, what has changed is the STC rebate, the up-front incentive the government is currently offering homeowners and small businesses to take up solar. If you’ve been following this, you may have noticed there has recently been a drop in the STC certificat­e commodity value from a year-round steady $38.00 to $30.50 at the time of going to print. The fluidity of the STC price means that the cost of your solar system can move right up until the day of installati­on. This uncertaint­y can make it hard for you to decide on whether to make the switch to solar. SAE Group have locked our STC price at $32.00 ensuring we can offer you a competitiv­ely priced solar system with the peace of mind.

SAE Group have yet another compelling offer that will make the switch to powering your home with smarter, cleaner energy easy for you. This high quality 5.5kW solar bundle comprises of the 5kW Fronius smart energy inverter, and 20 x 275-watt Seraphim panels for $5652.00.

This 5.5kW system will generate an average of 23kW of power each day, based on the Clean Energy Council’s recommenda­tion of the average hours of 4.2 hours. That’s enough to power a standard four-bedroom home, making this system ideal to drasticall­y reduce your power bills. Let’s take a closer look at what you could save…

Let’s say you self-consume 50% of the electricit­y you generate free from the sun. Based on the average output, that’s 11.5 kW each day. Applying today’s average electricit­y tariff of 28c/kW, you stand to make a saving of $3.22 each day. That might not seem much but over the course of a year that’s a massive $1,175.00 back in your pocket. That still leaves the remaining 50% of your solar production that you can export back to the grid. Right now, the average solar feed in tariff sits anywhere from 8 cents to 15 cents per kW, depending on your electricit­y retailer. Let’s base our calculatio­ns somewhere in the middle… if you are exporting the remaining 50% at 12 cents per kW, that’s another saving of $1.38 cents per day, or a further $503.00 a year you’ll save in electricit­y costs. That’s a whopping total of $1678.00 per year in savings.

Look to the price advertised on the right and you’ll see it’s possible to recoup the cost of a 5.5 kW solar system in under four years, and you’ve still got years of solar savings ahead of you. So why put off until tomorrow what you can start saving today.
