RECs
There are a lot to learn about RECs in depth. But lets just get straight to the point on “How RECs really benefits you”:
There is a lot to learn about RECs. But lets just go straight to the point on “How RECs really benefit you”:
The Renewable Energy Target (RET) scheme guarantees a market for additional renewable energy generation by trading Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The Solar Credits system incentivizes homeowners, business and community groups that install photovoltaic, wind and hydro systems by multiplying the number of RECs able to be created.
Each State’s Solar Credits offer varies. A solar PV system in Melbourne or Hobart, for example, will receive fewer credits (RECs) because they get less sunshine therefore less renewable energy is produced.
RECS act as Solar Credits that assist with the upfront costs of installing small-scale renewable energy systems, including household solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Solar Credits, which is part of the expanded national Renewable Energy Target (RET) scheme, will provide extra Renewable Energy Certificates, which are also called RECs, to households and businesses that install eligible small scale solar PV, wind and hydro electricity systems.
Under the Solar Credits arrangements, eligible systems installed before mid-2012 will get five RECs for every REC the system would otherwise receive.
This is another reason of why you should get your solar system now and not delay your purchase. After mid-2012 you will get less RECs which means less rebates and more out of pocket cost to get a solar system. So hurry get a firm quote from RME now!
Solar Credits apply to the first 1.5 kilowatts (kW) of capacity installed; generation from capacity above 1.5 kW will still be eligible for the standard 1:1 rate of RECs creation.
Zone 3 RECs (Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra & Perth)
1,5Kw System = 155 RECs X $40 = $6,200 point of sale discounts (You get $40/RECs when assigning RECs to us where RECs market is currently at $35-$38/REC value)
Zone 4 RECs (Melbourne)
1,5Kw System = 133 RECs X $40 = $5,320 point of sale discounts (You get $40/RECs when assigning RECs to us where RECs market is currently at $35-$38/REC value)
Please see our “RECs Calculator” section in order to calculate how many RECs you get for larger size systems.
The reason why RME can pass on full benefits of $40/REC value is because RME has a locked in contract to trade RECs at $40/REC till end of December 2010. Again RME has thought about giving you the maximum benefit through the whole solar credit scheme. Another reason to choose RME.
State by State
Each State’s Solar Credits offer varies. A solar PV system in Melbourne or Hobart, for example, will receive fewer credits (RECs) because they get less sunshine therefore less renewable energy is produced.
Please see below RECs Zoning:
What is RECs?
In an attempt to reduce greenhouse gases, the Federal Government implemented the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act (2000).Under this Act, a Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET) was implemented which forces liable parties such as large electricity retailers to surrender a certain percentage of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to the Government each year. These RECs ensure that a certain percentage of the large retailer’s energy generation is sourced from renewable energy. If the amount of REC’s required to be surrender to the Government is not reached, a monetary penalty is assigned to the liable for each REC that has not been supplied. Liable parties are required to buy these RECs from residents, businesses and even brokers. The fact that REC’s need to be sourced externally has created a live market for which RECs can be bought and sold and where standard market influencers manipulate the price of RECs (such as supply and demand, compliance dates).This means that the price for REC’s is volatile and can fluctuate daily.
RECs can be created when a solar hot water system, solar electricity system or heat pump system is installed. The solar installation can be a part of a new home or an existing home (in which case an existing storage tank or existing solar hot water system is replaced). The Federal Government gives the right to anyone who is the owner of a solar installation to create RECs. A REC is equivalent to 1 mega watt hour of renewable energy generation and the total number of RECs for a system is determined based on an energy efficiency rating provided by the Government and the area of installation. The owner of the solar installation would be required to complete a REC assignment form and send it to an agent registered with the Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator (ORER), the Government office that administers the scheme. This agent will be assigned the right to create the REC by the owner and then the agent will offer a price for the REC’s based on the market value. REC payment is made once the REC assignment form is lodged with ORER and this payment acts as the benefit the owner of the installation receives from the REC scheme.

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read anything like this before. So nice to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this website is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality. useful job for bringing something new to the internet
Thank you for all of your labor on this web page. Betty enjoys participating in investigation and it is simple to grasp why. Most people know all regarding the dynamic form you offer rewarding things by means of this website and in addition welcome participation from other people on that situation while our girl is truly starting to learn so much. Take advantage of the remaining portion of the year. You have been conducting a brilliant job.
There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
