We all know that South Australia has some of the most attractive Feed-in-tariffs in Australia. This means that with the right system and energy efficiency measures in your home, you could be earning money, not just saving it. Those are reasons enough for more and more families to switch to solar energy, not just for themselves but also for the others.
With power prices nationwide expected to increase substantially over the next couple of years, solar is a great way to protect yourself and your family.
On top of the savings that you can receive once your solar power system starts producing power through Feed-in tariffs, the reduction in the up-front cost of systems is also an incentive in itself. Panel prices have fallen dramatically over the last 18 months and this means that a 5kW system which previously cost around $25,000 now costs around $7,000.
