It may be prudent to lock in the 44 cents currently on offer as it may not be available for very much longer.

Solar Panels Gold Coast – Two Excellent Solar Rebates Currently Available:
Solar Rebates
Two generous solar rebates are currently available: 1. The Queensland State Government Feed In Tariff . For solar power systems up to 5KW a 44cent /KWH feed in tariff is currently payable for solar electricity that your system feeds back onto the electricity grid . Your home will consume some of the power produced by your solar panels (reducing your power bill) and the balance of the solar power produced is fed back to the electricity grid – receiving this feed in tariff – currently the highest payed by any State Government in Australia. 2. The Federal Government Solar Credits Scheme which partly subsidises your initial cost of installing solar power in your Gold Coast residence. Note- it is important to understand the Solar Credits scheme reduces each year. From 1 July 2012 it will drop again , so effectively your upfront cost of a solar panel installation will increase from that date.
Solar Panels Gold Coast - How Much Power Does A Solar Power System Produce?
How Much Power Do Solar Systems produce?
On the Gold Coast , solar panels produce electricity on average for around 4.2 hours per day. The following table gives an estimation of how much solar power a Gold Coast Solar Panels system is likely to produce for different sized solar power systems:
| Average Daily Solar Power Production On The Gold Coast | ||||
| 1.5KW SYSTEM | 2KW SYSTEM | 3KW SYSTEM | 5KW SYSTEM | 10KW SYSTEM |
| 6.3KWH | 8.4KWH | 12.6KWH | 21KWH | 42KWH |
The average households daily power usage in Australia is 16KWH to 20KWH per day .Because the Queensland Governments 44 cent per KWH feed in tariff is roughly twice what you pay for electricity (around 22 cents per KWH on average) a household using the average daily power usage of say 20 KWH/day may eliminate their power bill completely by installing a 3KW solar power system ,for example. This is dependent on your electricity usage patterns during the day and how much of the power produced by your solar power system that you feed back into the electricity grid.

Solar Panels Gold Coast – Checklist Before Installing Solar Power:
- Do you have the optimum roof for solar power in your home? Optimum panel orientation is North , so a north facing roof is preferable for installation of solar panels . NNE or NNW are fine with 10 percent loss. Check for potential shading onto your solar panels from trees , chimneys etc.
- Best angle for solar panels on the Gold Coast? The optimum angle is around 28 degrees which is close to the pitch of most roof’s. On a flat roof’s aluminium adjustable frames are used to ensure that the solar panels achieve the correct angle.
- Use only C.E.C. accredited installers .Government rebates are only payable if you do (complete the form below to have 3 C.E.C.Gold Coast Solar Panel installation companies quote you)
- Get everything in writing when requesting solar quotes , including expected solar electricity production , warranties offered on the solar panels ,the solar inverter and the installation itself .Is the cost of the solar meter included in the solar quote?
- We strongly suggest using quality solar panels such as Suntech ,Conergy ,Sunpower ,Sharp etc . Your solar power system should last 25 years plus. By using quality components you will have more recourse if there are warranty issues in years to come.
- Insist on an on site inspection so that the solar installers can inspect your roof and you can discuss face to face your proposed solar installation. Never accept quotes over the phone.

Solar Panels Gold Coast- How Does A Solar Power System Work?
- Solar Panels Gold Coast – The earth receives around 1000 watts (1KW) of solar energy per square meter .Solar Panels installed on your Gold Coast home convert the sunlight energy into D.C electricity. Solar panels produce some electricity even on overcast days .
- Solar Panels Gold Coast- The electricity from the solar panels is supplied to the solar inverter , an electronic box , which your solar installation company will place , generally ,near your current meter box .The inverter converts the D.C.solar electricity from your solar panels into A.C electricity that is either used by your home or fed back onto the electricity grid . When fed back onto the grid you get payed for it at the ‘feed in tariff’ rate ,as discussed above.
