Are there any incentives available to make solar more affordable?
In June 2009, the Government discontinued the Solar Homes and Communities Plan (SHCP), which provided up to $8,000 to householders who install solar power. The program that has replaced it is called Solar Credits. In a nutshell, this scheme calculates how much carbon pollution is saved by your system in its lifetime, and rewards the system owner with Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). When you buy one of our packages, you will sign your RECs to Nu Energy, which allows us to offer your system at a vastly reduced price. The Solar Credits scheme has a set of eligibility criteria. Generally speaking, if you have already claimed a rebate for a solar power system at an address, you won’t be eligible for Solar Credits for another system at that same address.
