Brisbane ratepayers are being offered a $400 rebate to install solar hot water systems. People who also qualify for the Federal Government's means-tested rebate could save up to $1400. And qualifying for renewable energy certificates promises further savings.
"Hot water systems are the biggest energy users in most homes, which means a solar system can result in huge savings," Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said. The Brisbane City Council rebate, which is not means tested, can be used to buy a new solar system or convert a gas or electric system to solar. It will be available to 1500 applicants at first, although Cr Newman would consider extending it. More details are at www.greenheartcitysmart.com.
