Solar Power - Solar PV

Solar Power, generated by Photovoltaics (PV), is an effective way to harness one of Australia’s greatest natural resources, the sun. Individuals and businesses can play an important role in the reduction of green house gases by installing solar power. As one of Australia’s largest creators of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and other environmental certificates such as Victorian Renewable Energy Certificates (VRECs) or Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs). Green Energy Trading can help you get the best value installation of solar power through the sale of your RECs, after a solar power system is installed.

Renewable Energy

In addition to solar power there are numerous ways to generate renewable energy, from Solar PV, to Solar Water Heaters, Solar Heat Pumps and small wind turbines. In the past 5 years alone we have seen a dramatic rise in the number of Australians harnessing renewable energy. There are now over 41,000 homes that have Solar PV panels installed; providing them with a reliable source of renewable energy. Green Energy Trading provides hundreds of renewable energy certificates (RECs) each year.

Solar Energy

Solar energy is defined as the variety of renewable energy provided by the sun that is captured and used to generate electricity. It is estimated that by 2025 ten percent of the world’s energy will be generated by solar power systems. When you install products that are powered by solar energy a number of RECs are created. REC prices can fluctuate from when the solar energy is first considered to when solar power has been installed and RECs are ready to be created. Green Energy Trading holds REC prices for clients for up to one week and announces the weekly price of RECs for solar energy installations via email. Green Energy Trading is a registered REC agent and can create Renewable Energy Certificates when assigned by the system owner.

Solar Hot Water

Renewable Energy Certificates from solar water heaters have accounted for more than 50% of all RECs produced so far for 2009. We have seen strong month-on-month growth in the number of Solar Water Heater  installations this year, contributing greatly to the renewable energy target set by the government. RECs for Solar Water Heater systems must be claimed within 12 months of the installation. Green Energy Trading takes the hassle out of creating Renewable Energy Certificates for solar water heater systems. By completing our simple assignment form and sending to us with your proof of purchase Green Energy Trading can create the RECs for your Solar Water Heater system and transfer payment directly to your bank account.
