Why is Energy Efficient Homes Better in terms of Savings? How do they Reduce Electricity Bills?
There is no shame in saying that solar panels can make your home energy efficient and save you a lot of money in terms of electricity bills. Even though there are other natural resources as well such as coal, natural gas which can be used to get power, they’re either limited or are harmful to be used openly. Only solar energy is something that is a clean and renewable source and that’s the reason why it’s getting so much fame in Australia and also in other countries. You may use fuel to generate electricity but that isn’t in the range of common people for which government has provided people with opportunities to go for this option.
How Energy Efficient Homes Reduce Electricity Bills?
Energy Efficient Homes are those which do not prove to be a burden on the national grid and either produce their own electricity totally or partially withdraw some of it from the grid to meet their requirements. Once you’ve installed panels on your roof and you’re maintaining them properly, there is no way you’re going to pay more because you’ve made your house energy efficient. But one thing you may need to know is that you must install them at a suitable location which has more sun hours per day and the environment must be cooler there. Otherwise, panels will have to work more due to which load on them increases as a result of which they may stop working or they will become lesser efficient.
New South Wales is one of the Australian states where sun hours are actually more and if you install panels there in a specific direction and at a particular angle, you’ll get maximum electricity which is what you want. Moreover, it has the highest average annual saving per household. So, the NSW government is trying hard to convince the people there to go for this option. Using time of use tariff can also save you a lot because you’ll use electricity at specific time slots in that case and you’ll have to pay less which in turn leads to more savings.
Is it Okay to Use Feed-in Tariffs?
Feed-in tariffs are best to be used when electricity demand for your home is less and the size of the solar system is large enough to generate more than the required power. In that way, you’ll have additional electricity and you’ll have the option of transporting it to the national grid rather than taking it from it which will ultimately bring you some money. So, apart from making your home energy-efficient, you can make things even better, all because of solar panels and solar energy.
