For grid connected solar power systems, the Australian Government's new solar credits program provides community groups with up to $9,000 off the cost of a grid connected system . For off grid systems, assistance is available too! Community organisations and not-for-profits can also receive support under the Government's $2.75 billion Climate Change Action Fund.

Aside from the rebates, Energy Matters provides deep discounts for churches and community groups. In fact, if you have a written quote from another supplier, fax or email it to us - we will beat any written quote on comparable components  by up to 5%!

Grid connect solar power

A grid connect system is one that is tied in with your building's main power supply - here's how it works:

The solar panels generate DC electricity which is routed to an inverter that converts the current to 240 volts AC; which is suitable for use by appliances. Any surplus electricity generated is fed back into the mains electricity supply grid. No major wiring infrastructure changes are required in most cases to implement grid connect solar! The systems Energy Matters provides utilize the same high quality components we provide in our residential grid connect systems.

Grid connect solar power rebates

The rebate system for grid connect solar is administered under the Solar Credits program. The scheme offers up to $9,000 in point of sale discounts on systems.

Additionally, for non-profit groups in Brisbane, the Lord Mayor's Community Sustainability Grants Scheme will  be continuing this year to assist not-for-profit community groups to install solar panels, insulation and water efficient devices. Application forms will be available from the 27th of July and round 1 (of 2 for the year) will be open between 27th July and closes 7th September. Please contact our team for further details. 

Also in Queensland, the Gambling Community Benefit Funds provides funding of up to $30,000. Eligible incorporated organisations can apply for up to $30,000. Eligible unincorporated organisations can apply for funding up to $5,000. Grants of more than $30,000 are considered for more complex projects which have significant community benefit.

Remote/off grid wind and solar power

Establishing an off grid renewable energy system has never been easier or cheaper. Just because your church or community building doesn't have access to mains grid power, doesn't mean you need to miss out on conveniences and using appliances!

Here's how an off grid system works:

With an Energy Matters supplied system, you'll be able to rest assured that the top quality components we provide will stand up to any conditions; providing you with clean, green off grid electricity year after year!
