Benefits of Solar Power

Solar saves money on electricity bills

With electricity prices constantly rising, more and more households are making the switch to energy saving alternatives, such as solar PV systems and energy saving lighting. As electricity prices continue to increase (as coal prices rise), solar power becomes less expensive (as silicon prices fall).

This situation is expected to continue. In January 2011, a major electricity retailer forecast further price hikes over the next two-three years.

It's also predicted that by 2013, homeowners in NSW will be paying up to 42% more for electricity, and up to 77% for those in WA.

These power price surges would follow increases already felt in July 2010 of between 7-13% in NSW and 17.5% in WA.

When you look at it this way, solar really makes cents!

Solar energy is free

Once your Beacon Solar system has been installed, the sun's energy is absolutely free, allowing you to enjoy considerable savings on your electricity bills. Better still, if solar energy covers 100% of your electricity needs, there'll be no power bills at all. Imagine that, no electricity bills! Just think how much you could reduce your household running costs over the next 25 years; the average lifespan of our solar systems. Adding a solar system to your home also significantly increases its market value.

Solar energy is abundant

Solar electricity is a renewable resource which won't run out. A 1kW solar system generates approximately 25% of the electricity used in the average household (depending on your location). Beacon Solar kits can be tailored to meet part or all of your home's electricity needs.
