RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES
In most cases the main concern when purchasing a solar PV system will be the amount of money that is required for the initial outlay. Despite the cost of this technology, The Australian Federal Government has shown commitment to increasing the uptake of solar technology by implementing a system to subsidise the cost of the system.
A Renewable Energy Certificate is a measurement of renewable energy that can be traded or sold for a monetary value. Certificates under the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme; are called Small Scale Technology Certificates. As an owner of a solar PV system you can register, sell, trade or surrender STC’s. In most instances consumers elect to surrender their STC’s to 4shore Solar in exchange for a financial benefit. This is detailed on your quotation and discussed at length with you by your project manager during stage 3 of our implemented approach.
KNOW YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS
Solar Power is environmentally friendly and can help reduce your electricity costs. However, there are a number of things you should consider prior to signing an agreement.
- Consider whether purchasing solar will affect your current electricity rates.
- Seek financial and legal advice before committing to an agreement.
- Understand the terms and conditions of the contract.
- Technical terms should be explained to you in 'plain language'
- Consider what 'type' of agreement will best meet your requirements.
- Understand your cooling-off rights.
- Avoid companies who require you to purchase energy services from particular third party retailers.
- A solar provider must not mislead or deceive you with with unclear or inaccurate information in marketing, advertising, product packaging and staff.
- Be aware of unconsionable conduct practices.
- Breaches of unsolicited consumer agreement regulations.
- Harass or coerce you to buy solar panels in a Solar Power Purchase Agreement or Solar Leasing Agreement.
Without trusted advice, investing in solar can be a daunting and highly confusing process.
