Melbourne, Victoria, October 22, 2009. Many Australian business owners are missing out on numerous incentives available for making the switch to solar power.
According to Max Sylvester, co-founder of national solar power solutions provider, Energy Matters, some of the rebates and incentives programs available aren’t well advertised.
“There’s a pot of money and tax breaks available to owners of businesses large and small to install solar power – if people know where to look. What we’ve done is to bring together summary information on the Energy Matters web site. After reviewing the basic information, instead of business owners then having to spend their valuable time chasing details all over the web, they can just email our team or call us on 1300 727 151 and we’ll provide them with further information on programs they may be eligible for.”
Some of the incentives include:
– Rebates of up to $7200 under the Solar Credits program
– Feed in tariffs where owners of systems are paid a premium rate for electricity produced
– Government grants of up to half a million dollars towards the purchase of solar power equipment
– Renewable energy certificates
– Tax deductions of up to 50%
Mr. Sylvester advises business owners act sooner rather than later. “Solar power is a great way for businesses to demonstrate a solid environmental commitment to their customers, but over the last 4 months we’ve seen three very important incentive programs axed prematurely and with little to no notice – so the end dates of some of these schemes shouldn’t be seen as being written in stone.”
