What are the Renewable Energy Certificates (REC's)?
Take advantage of the new Renewable Energy Targets scheme (RETs) which is a Federal government initiative to provide financial support to anyone installing a Small Generation Unit (SGU) solar system (the SGU Owners Guide is downloadable at www.orer.org.au). Future Solar Solutions uses the best quality, high efficiency monocrystalline photovoltaic panels to maximize the savings to you and to the benefit of the planet's future.

RECs and Rebates - What can I expect?
The level of subsidy will depend on a number of factors, including the price of RECs, the deeming period chosen by the applicant, the location of the solar PV system and the size of the system. For example a system installed in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane or Canberra will receive more RECs than Melbourne or Hobart as these areas have less sunshine so less renewable energy is produced.

Putting the power back in your hands
Solar for home, business, rental properties or small community groups - currently everyone can take advantage of the Federal Government's Renewable Energy Target (RET) Scheme. The RET Scheme uses tradeable Renewable Energy Certificates (known as RECS). To assist with the upfront costs of installing the system, the scheme currently offers a 5 x multiplier of additional credits, equivalent to the output of up to 15 years operation (depending on the system type). This provides an upfront capital subsidy to householders and businesses, who may sell their RECs on the market.

Solar credits will apply to new installations of solar systems up to 1.5kilowatts (kW) of capacity installed. Systems installed above 1.5kW will still be eligible for the standard 1:1 rate of RECs created.

For more information a fact sheet can be downloaded from www.climatechange.gov.au

This RET program is not means tested and everyone, including high income earners and business owners, can apply for the RECs. Future Solar Solutions will sell the RECs that your solar system will create to help subsidise the cost of your solar panel system and installation.
