Queensland homeowners, together with the local government, are working hand in hand to build the state’s “virtual power station” run by solar power. This year the state has already celebrated a huge success by doubling its solar capacity from 250 MW in April of 2010 to 500 MW by July 2011, which is 3 years earlier than expected.
The Virtual Power Station
By its programs of solar rebates and the generous feed in tariff scheme, the Queensland Government hopes to build a decentralised power station by encouraging more of its residents to install solar panel systems and solar hot water systems in their homes, as well as businesses, community buildings and schools. Their policy is that every installed system is important in adding to the states solar capacity and will ultimately help in achieving the state’s goal.
How Can You Help
All rooftop solarpanels in Queensland will produce ample amount of electricity to power households, businesses and other establishments. This fact will lead to less electricity usage from the grid.
Furthermore if you install a solar PV system today you can also be part of the state’s environmental protection program. Step by step the federal and state government is inching towards carbon neutrality, to reverse the harmful effects of global warming and preserve a better future for the next generation.
What is in Store for You?
Huge financial savings awaits you simply by using less electricity from the grid through solarhot water systems or solar power systems. Even excluding the feed in tariff, scheme solar hot water can an average household around $250 a year and at least $450 savings for a small solar panel system. And of course if you qualify for the premium FiT scheme currently on offer these figures can increase significantly.
So make sure you apply now while it is still available; all other state programs have closed to new applicants and the Queensland Feed in tariff scheme is the most successful and most generous in the country. More than 100,000 Queenslanders have already qualified and you can too!
Act Now! Install Today!
If you haven’t already a installed a solar panel system yet then now is the perfect time for you do so! System prices are at record lows, electricity prices are at record highs, and with the carbon tax being pushed through parliament there hasn’t been a time when solar has been a better investment than now.
It will even add to the value of your home and start to pay for itself immediately, the only improvement you can add that will do so.
