Brisbane is one of Australia’s sunniest cities, with 261 sunny days annually – that is a lot of potential energy waiting to be harnessed. A home owner in Holland Park recently made the investment into renewable energy by having a solar system installed on their roof.
Dawson Electric is fully certified and trained to install solar systems. We are an accredited installer and an approved retailer by the Clean Energy Council. This certification is a requirement for home owners to be eligible for Government energy reimbursement schemes.
The Installation
- 6kw solar system on the roof of a 2-storey house in Holland Park.
The Benefits of Installing a Solar System
- Reduce your carbon footprint and contribute positively to the environment
- An energy investment. Offset your electricity expenses by utilising freely accessible solar power.
- Making money. Feed-in tariffs are available in Queensland wherein your excess solar power may be reintegrated into the power grid. You will then be reimbursed for any surplus electricity generated from your solar system and exported to the Queensland electricity grid.
- The Queensland Competition Authority sets the regional feed-in tariff rate each year. For the period of 2017-2018, the regional feed-in tariff is just over 10centsper kilowatt hour.
The Result
A solar system installed on the roof that significantly decreases the household energy bill and has the real potential of earning the homeowner money in the long run. An energy investment that benefits the environment.
