A large part of the role of the Clean Energy Council of Australia is to maintain high standards within the Solar industry, and to make it easier for consumers to make a well informed decison about what Solar panel option is going to be best for their needs.

The CEC had previously released a very helpful guide for prospective customers to read before they make their solar purchase, and this CEC’s Solar PV Consumer Guide has recently been updated, with new calculations now on payback periods for systems based on recent changes to feed-in-tariffs around the country.Home Solar Panels Consumer Guide August 2011

Despite some misunderstanding through out the community that government solar rebates have finished this is not the case, and solar panels are still an affordable option for Australian households looking to reduce their power bills and generate their own clean electricity.

There is a  good reason why the household use of solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems has grown so significantly in Australia these last few years; skyrocketing power costs which are becoming unsustainable for an average family, increased awareness of the risk of dangerous climate change, the reduced cost of systems and a range of government incentives to encourage use of the technology.

When you do the figures about how much you are likely to spend on power bills over the next 20 years, Solar power systems are a much more affordable option and offer a smart investment for any Australian household looking to reduce or eliminate their power bills by generating their own clean electricity.

All solar systems aren’t equal though, and with the increased range of products and suppliers on the market, being an informed consumer about this big purchase decision has never been more important. So the CEC guide provides a valuable introduction to solar PV systems to clear up any misinformation or confusion, so that you are better equipped to make the right choices about which product is right for you.

The comprehensive guide comes with questions that you can ask your installer and electricity retailer to ensure you have all the information you need. Note that the guide is intended for people who will be connecting their system to the electricity grid, not for the much rarer off grid option.

Premier Solar Qld is proud to be accepted as a member of the CEC, and as such abide by all their recommendations and guidelines for the highest quality of solar pv design and installations.
