Did you know that multiple councils, large multisite corporations and Small to Medium (SME) businesses are all using this vehicle to access cheaper electricity and avoid paying the no solar premium? “Some of the participating councils will achieve 100% renewable electricity from the outset, while others will progressively ramp up their promotion of renewable electricity in line with their targets,” the council said.
The problem is quite simple and there is a proven, well established, tried and tested solution.
Problem – Grid electricity cost index shows a rise in wholesale electricity pricing:
Solution – this solar panel cost per watt price index shows a low flattening cost for panels:
The problem with doing nothing is you basically are agreeing to pay more for electricity that comes from the grid. If you consider the price, it has gone from approximately $40 per megawatt hour (MWh) up to $73 per MWh over the last 12 months. This represents an 82% increase in the wholesale price, which will inevitably get passed on to the consumer.
Due to a multitude of factors, Australian business owners are feeling the pain caused by increasing costs throughout the supply chain. The solar industry too has experienced a sudden increase in equipment costs, freight and logistics costs and supply constraints.
The solar panel price index shows how prices have dropped from $2.40 per watt (p/w) to around $0.90 p/w. This is a 266% reduction in cost since August 2012. The global supply shortage of raw materials for manufacturing, coupled with rising costs mentioned above, suggest that now is a perfect time to secure a solar energy supply solution.
Not doing something about it and taking action now, only to leave it for another time could see you paying more for your solar solution. Now is the time to get this sorted and stop paying more for electricity.
