Solar Power and Hot Water Together Make Energy Sense

December 11, 2008

Did you know that if you team up solar power with your largest user of electricity, your hot water, you can significantly reduce your future power costs with the added benefits of reducing CO2 emissions and making your home more sustainable? Eco Living Centre’s founder, Alistair Duncan, explains how.

“Combined with eligible Government rebates you could have a renewable energy package utilising a 1kW power system combined with a 300L flat plate collector for as little as $6,000 fully installed in the Sydney metropolitan region. This investment reduces your power bills, adds value to your home and reduces your carbon foot-print to aid the earth’s sustainability.“First, the electric hot water systems that typically represents between 30-40% of a home’s energy usage. A very high proportion of this can be simply replaced with a two flat panel Thermosiphon unit. Government grants can be up to $3100 (comprising of $1300 Renewable Energy Rebates, $800 NSW Government grant and a Federal Government grant of $1,000). These are available to eligible households.

Second, add the solar power or photovoltaic system that qualifies for a $8,000 rebate. This enables a 1kW system to be installed for as little as $4,000. “This translates to an estimated total saving of around two thirds of your current energy bill. In an environment where energy costs are on the rise the payback period for this joint system is shorter than if only solar hot water is installed. Eco Living Centre can complete the installation in a day” Duncan says.For more information call 1300 308 823 Eco Living Centre.
