Mick Harris, founder of EnviroShop and a key member of the solar industry for the past 30 years.
Mick Harris is both the founder and Managing Director of EnviroShop and has been a key member of the solar industry for the past 30 years.
When asked about solar power he emphasizes the importance of thorough research before installing a system on your home.
He also advises to obtain a one-on-one home consultation with a solar company who can design a customized system appropriate for your specific needs.
For those who are unfamiliar with how solar works, thanks to the Victorian Net Feed-in Tariff, any solar electricity not used in your home is automatically exported to the grid and credited to the household s electricity bill at a minimum rate of 60 cents per kilowatt hour kWh .
By making the most of the premium feed-intariff, homeowners will maximise their return on investment and minimise their system s payback period explains Mr Harris.
Increasing the size and quality of your solar power system and working to cut household electricity use are the two key ways to maximise exported electricity and optimise the economics of the system.
At EnviroShop we often hear of problems that arise from home owners settling for systems that don t suit their needs, despite being recommended by so called solar professionals.
It s understandable though, how would the average homeowner know what s right for them Receiving the right advice and guidance from an experienced solar expert who is able to actually visit and inspect your house is really important.
Homeowners need to be sure that their solar sales person carefully considers their specific situation and tailors a solution for them, rather than simply defaulting to a standard packaged system that may not meet their unique needs.
When it comes to solar, one size doesn t fit all.
Installing solar power requires careful consideration of many factors.
Household energy consumption, roof size and budget are all important but what many people overlook is how their daytime energy usage affects potential for selling solar electricity back to the grid and how their electricity contract will change as a result of installing solar.
I always recommend speaking to at least three electricity retailers.
Tell them you intend to install solar and ask how that will affect your tariffs and contract.
Peak and off-peak tariffs, the price they offer for solar feed-in and whether you can redeem any accrued credits for cash at the end of the billing cycle are among the important issues to address when choosing your electricity retailer.
For those considering solar power it s prudent to have installation completed by 30 June this year as rebates will reduce by around 1,000 on 1 July.
EnviroShop offers a large variety of products and services intended to help Victorians live and work in a more environmentally sustainable way.
They specialise in premium 2kW to 5kW solar power systems and highly efficient solar hot water systems.
We ve learned through years of experience that larger, high quality solar power systems give households a better opportunity to offset their power bills and sell more electricity back to the grid, yielding better financial and environmental results says Mr Harris.
The main thing when considering solar power is to be thorough and really do your research.
Our outlet does not sell packaged solar.
We sell customised solar solutions that actually work for the customer and we have a live solar display that give customers an opportunity to come in, see a solar system, learn about the components and understand what s involved.
