By eliminating the costs associated with bringing grid electricity across vast distances, reducing diesel consumption and fossil fuel emissions while offering silent operation and reliable power from a system customised to meet individual needs and budgets, renewable energy becomes a viable alternative. Additionally, Renewable Energy Certificates or RECs are earned when renewable energy equipment is installed, which in turn assist in reducing the upfront capital costs.
Diane Howard, a member of the board of the Clean Energy Council Photovoltaic Directive explains, “Many people do not realize that if they access the current government business incentives to install solar power for their businesses they will actually have an asset that can reduce their overheads and tax burdens. And they get the added environmental benefits.”
