Do you know that solar panels can operate off grid? Off grid means houses that are not connected to the state’s electricity grid. To those living in very isolated areas or in rural regions, this is a huge sigh of relief – a long term solution that is affordable, at last.
You see, when your house is off grid, it is actually very expensive to have power lines connected. Individuals living in isolated areas have their power lines disconnected in many instances, due to the fact that it is less affordable to many.
Comparatively, the cost of installing solar panels are much lower. Yes, even though it does cost a bit (which is what’s deterring many in the urban from taking the next step), it is actually a much more affordable option to those in the rural regions.
And when you have your solar panels up and running, you get access to solar energy forever – for free, as long as there is sunlight. The panel does not need regular maintenance or fuel to run it, nor any raw materials are required for its operation at all. It works as long as there are sun rays, which is an everyday thing in most parts of the world. Certainly in Australia, where sunlight is at an abundance. See what we mean by a long term solution for the rural regions?
Of course, you’d be concerned about the cost of installing solar panels. Contrary to popular beliefs, solar panels are actually much more affordable nowadays compared to before. A huge part of it has the generous Australia solar rebate programs to thank for, which the government has been actively promoting as of late. Found eligible, we’re talking about thousands of savings here subsidized from the government. For the low income households, there are even further incentives available if found eligible.
