Solar panels are set to become more affordable - but now is always the best time to switch to solar

Solar energy is becoming an increasingly attractive option when it comes to powering your home. In Sydney, more than 885,000 homes have rooftop solar, and in Australia 1 in 3 homes have gone green by switching to solar. Collectively homes and businesses in Australia have reached the impressive milestone of 6000-megawatt capacity. This achievement shows that there is a growing interest in solar energy, which is a positive sign for the environment and the economy.

Homeowners and businesses have benefited from government solar rebates and incentives to date, as these rebates have made it financially possible for many homeowners to convert to solar. At this stage, it is rumored that solar panel prices are set to drop, making the switch even more attractive. However, it's unknown exactly when these price changes will come into effect. If you have been waiting for the costs to reduce before going solar, why not look at the immediate benefits that you will gain by installing solar now?

The question is: do you switch to solar now or wait until there is a price reduction?

While it may be tempting to wait for further price drops in solar panels, it is important to consider the long-term benefits of switching to solar and the various incentives and programs available that can make them more affordable now. The benefits of switching to solar go beyond just cost savings.

The old adage “there's no time like the present” can be applied when thinking about switching to solar as it will help you save money on your energy bills, while also positively impacting the environment.

Reasons to Switch to Solar Now!

  • Environmental Benefits - Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy. Unlike fossil fuels, it does not release harmful pollutants into the environment which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
  • Cost savings - Solar energy has become more affordable in recent years and the cost of solar panels has decreased significantly. Installing solar panels can help you save money on your electricity bills over the long term and homeowners may be eligible for tax incentives or rebates for installing solar panels.
  • Energy Independence - Generating your own electricity with solar panels can help you become more energy independent and reduce your reliance on traditional utilities. This can be particularly beneficial during power outages or other emergencies.
  • Increase Property Value - Solar panels can increase the value of your property. Many home buyers are now looking for homes with solar panels installed, which can make your property more attractive and sellable in the future.

Factors to consider when deciding whether to go solar now

  1. If you are primarily concerned with the cost savings and have the financial means to invest in solar panels, then it may make sense to switch to solar now. In many cases, the savings on energy bills from using solar energy can offset the upfront cost of the installation within a few years.
  2. If you are not yet in a position to make the upfront investment in solar panels, it may be worth waiting for the cost to reduce further or for additional government incentives to become available. It's important to consider your location and the amount of sunlight your property receives, as this can impact the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of solar panels.

Ultimately, the decision to switch to solar should be based on careful consideration of your individual circumstances, and priorities.

NSW Leads Australia with Maximum Number of Rooftop Solar Installations

2020 was a bumper year for solar in Australia.

Australia once again broke its own record for the highest number of photovoltaics installed in a year. In 2020, the installations skyrocketed by a whopping 30% from the previous year.

362,734 rooftop solar PV systems were installed as per the data from the Clean Energy Regulator and analysed by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO. Of this, NSW contributed with over 109,000 installations. The solar uptake is high in suburbs like Marsden Park, Vineyard, Kellyville, Rouse Hill, Camden and Oakdale.

The pattern of installation in NSW is significantly different from Victoria. In Victoria, the installation is focused on five postcodes whereas the installations are spread evenly throughout Sydney. This data is gathered based on the installation from the small-scale renewable energy scheme and construction data.

Solar PV Uptake NSW | Solar Installers Sydney

Australians are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and using renewable energy sources to power their homes. COVID-19 has also enabled homeowners to spend more time on home improvement projects. Rooftop solar power is forecasted to generate 32 gigawatts by 2030 and would eclipse coal.

“Sustained low technology costs, increased work from home arrangements and a shift in household spending to home improvements during COVID-19 played a key role in the increase of rooftop solar PV systems,” Clean Energy Regulator executive general manager Mark Williamson said.

Switch to Solar

At the end of 2020, Australia had over 2.68 million households with solar which means one in 4 households is now enjoying the benefits of solar energy. So what’s stopping you from getting solar? The goal of NSW government is to have net zero emissions by 2050 and you can contribute to this target by installing a solar PV system.

Switch to clean energy with expert solar installers at Powerix. We are experts when it comes to solar PV systems across Sydney, meaning we can help homes and businesses like yours utilise the free and abundant power from the sun. Our experienced team of CEC accredited solar installers offer the custom design, supply and installation of top quality solar systems throughout Sydney.

NSW Smoke Alarm Legislation 2020 & what it means for you?

Did you know when you are asleep, your sense of smell is asleep too? You cannot smell coffee when you are fast asleep, and if your house is on fire, you won't smell the smoke either.

According to a study conducted by Macquarie University and Bushfire and Natural Hazards Co-operative Research Centre - more Australians are killed in residential fires each year than through natural hazards. The fatality rate from residential fires has remained steady over the past 10 years.

Although residential fires are deadly, they can be prevented with the help of working smoke alarms. Smoke alarms can save lives by detecting smoke and alerting the occupants within seconds. They can reduce the risk of death from residential fires by over 50%.

Modern homes have deadlier fires

Fires in modern homes spread faster (less than 5 minutes) compared to older homes wherein fire took over 29 minutes to spread throughout the building.

Modern building materials and furniture react differently to fires and create toxic gases and a higher level of smoke. This puts the occupants at grave risk of inhaling toxic fumes and allows less time to evacuate safely.

Advantages of smoke alarms

  • Interconnected smoke alarms are preferable for homes so that if one smoke alarm activates, all the smoke alarms will go off so that the occupants have a better chance of evacuating the house quickly.
  • This early warning increases the chance of a safe escape.

Types of smoke alarms

There are 3 types of alarms - Photoelectric Alarms, Ionisation Alarms and Dual Sensor Alarms.

Photoelectric alarms are faster at detecting smoke from burning synthetic materials while ionisation alarms are quick at detecting flaming fires. Smoke alarms are more effective when they are installed in appropriate locations, they are interconnected and more than one alarm is installed. The more smoke alarms in your home, the safer you and your family are.

Smoke alarms installation and testing

Smoke Alarm Legislation NSW 2020

  • NSW legislation provides a minimum level of protection.
  • Under Clause 146A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 and Divison 7A of Part 9 of Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, at least one smoke alarm must be installed on each level in all buildings where people sleep.
  • Smoke alarms must comply with the Australian Standard AS 3786.
  • Failure to comply with the legislation is an offence and you can get a maximum penalty of $550.
  • Alarms installed after May 2006 should comply with AS3786.
  • Fire and Rescue NSW recommends the installation of interconnected smoke alarms in all bedrooms, living areas and garage.

What does the NSW smoke alarm legislation mean for you?

If you are a homeowner:

Consider installing a smoke alarm on every level of your home. If you already have a smoke alarm, you do not need to replace the alarm. However, it is recommended to install interconnected smoke alarms.

If you are a tenant or landlord

  • Landlords are responsible to ensure the property has at least one working smoke alarm on every level of the property.
  • Landlords can access the rented property to install smoke alarms by giving 2 days’ notice to the tenant. Landlords need to replace a faulty smoke alarm within 2 days.
  • For hard-wired smoke alarms, the batteries need to be replaced by the landlord.
  • For a battery-operated smoke alarm, the tenant is responsible to replace the battery. If the battery cannot be changed, the tenant should notify the landlord as soon as possible.

Smoke alarm safety tips

  • Install smoke alarms on every level of the home including the basement and every bedroom, living area, stairways, hallways and garage.
  • Consider installing extra smoke alarms if you have a large home.
  • Interconnected hardwired smoke alarms are better for maximum safety.
  • Use home sprinkler systems to control fire.
  • Test all the smoke alarms at least once a month.
  • Fire blankets and fire extinguishers can also help you deal with small fires before they get out of control.
  • Discuss an escape plan with your family so they are aware of what to do in the event of a fire.
  • Install carbon monoxide detectors if you use gas appliances or heaters in your home.
