                          <p class="style17">There are many benefits of installing a solar energy system. When you are looking into buying a solar system you should remember that there are a range of different systems that have different specifications – these vary in terms of the panels used, the type of inverter required and the installation requirements. These are all specified below. </p>
                        <p><span class="style17"><strong>Australian  Solar Network</strong> offers the highest standards  at a competitive price. Our professional staff provide superior customer  service and exceptional advice. We offer many sustainable solutions  including:</span> </p>
                        <p class="style15">The Benefits </p>
                        <p class="style17">Installing a solar system has many benefits and allows you to take advantage of cost savings as well as make a financial gain. The financial benefits include; government rebates for the installation of solar systems, reducing (or eliminating!) your power bill, protecting your budget from rapidly escalating electricity prices, increasing the resale or rental value of your property, and getting paid for every kWh of electricity you feed back into the grid! These financial benefits also come with other environmental benefits that are associated with using renewable energy. You can rest assured that you are playing your part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating global warming. </p>

                          <p align="justify" class="style17">There is currently a  great deal of change occurring in the area of improving the environmental  performance of homes, as well as new legislation about the required disclosure  of performance ratings. What this means is that, if you understand the  legislation and make the most of it, you can improve the performance of your  home, and take advantage of funding to make the improvements. In the process,  you will improve the value of your home or premises, as well as its rental  value. All of this means that installing solar energy (using photovoltaics)  will benefit you, because of the energy savings it reaps, and its affordable  installation because of government rebates and feed-in tariffs. This is a worthwhile  capital investment which will return a higher environmental rating, which will  in turn increase the market and rental value of your home. Interested? Read on!</p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17"><strong>Improving  Environmental Performance and Disclosure</strong></p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">The number of  Australian homes is growing, as is the amount of energy they consume. In fact,  it is projected that between 1990 and 2020, Australian homes will have  substantially grown in size and will eventually consume 55% more energy. Currently,  Australia has over 8 million homes, and these account for more than 10% of all  its green house gas emissions and 13% of all the energy used. </p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">To address this trend  and mitigate its effect on the environment and our economy, the Australian  Government is studying the impact of introducing ratings on building  performance, equipment, and the appliances we use at home and work, as well as  exploring different methods to encourage saving energy and to reduce energy  costs.</p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">Saving energy and  energy cost reduction is currently being achieved through a variety of ways  including: regulations; incentives; financial support to consumers and the  renewable energy industry; and providing education and information to address  our increasing energy demands. It is hoped these initiatives will have an  impact on the way in which homes are renovated, designed and built, as well as  how Australians will use energy in the future. </p>

                        <p align="justify" class="style17">The 130,000 new homes  built annually in Australia are one of the largest areas of opportunity that  can immediately impact energy issues. The Building Code of Australia stipulates  minimum requirements for new building work and is designed to make homes more  efficient, more liveable and provide ongoing cost-savings in running a  household. To comply with new regulations and with the National Strategy on  Energy Efficiency new homes must:</p>
                        <ul>
                            <li class="style17">Possess a star energy of 6 stars or better  rating after May 2011.</li>
                          <li class="style17">Implement energy efficient standards for  things like hot water, lighting and <br />
                            air-conditioning systems.</li>
                        </ul>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">These standards are  updated regularly through a consultative approach initiated by the Australian Building Codes Board This board conducted an analysis of  the benefits and costs for new homes meeting these stricter requirements - Commercial  and Residential Consultation RISs for BCA2010 Energy Efficiency Proposals - Australian Building Codes Board,  September 2009. Some of the summarised findings are as follows:</p>
                        <div align="justify">
                            <ul>
                              <li class="style17">Greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced by  up to 600,000 tons by 2020 as a result of these new standards. </li>
                              <li class="style17">Costs and savings for each individual home  owner will be dependent upon a number of factors. Things such as the materials  used, the design of the home, and appropriateness to the climate zone and  orientation of the house were likely to impact the amount spent and the long-term  savings. The cost and savings method used to calculate these factors was a  conservative, rather than a low or lowest approach.</li>
                              <li class="style17">On average, as a result of these initiatives,  a net saving of up to $8,025 and a net cost of up to $2,240 could be expected.  This was achieved with a minimal effect on the cost of a new home, dwelling or  apartment. </li>
                              <li class="style17">The saving in capital cities was over half a  percent of total costs, whereas the cost incurred for a new dwelling was  approximately one-quarter of the cost of the dwelling.</li>
                            </ul>
                        </div>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">The standards are  legislated through the states and territories, and they decide to which new  works the energy efficiency provisions apply to. Further information on this  topic can be found on the National  House Energy Rating Scheme website.</p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">The Australian Government is also conducting its own evaluation of Energy  Efficiency Standards, in order to provide industry and government an accurate  picture of the effectiveness of energy-efficient housing standards. The results  of the evaluation are expected to be available mid-2012 and it is expected that  the 5 star standard (used in the 2006-2009 Building Code Of Australia) will be  pitted against earlier standards. </p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17"><strong>Existing Buildings  and Environmental Performance Disclosure</strong></p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">Governments have  proposed and are currently developing new legislation which, if passed, would  require owners selling or leasing their houses, apartments or flats to provide  performance data to those purchasing or leasing their properties. This would  allow comparisons between different types of properties. Performance areas  likely to be rated are energy, water and thermal (efficiency and running  costs), and greenhouse emissions. It is likely that homes will be assessed  using a rating system such as the star rating system. These ratings could also  be used as a tool to promote properties and may be required to be disclosed and  openly labelled when selling or leasing a property. It is theorised the ratings  would provide incentives for better design and construction and would encourage  property renovations which make dwellings more energy efficient. </p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">In totality, these  changes are likely to be phased in from 2012, after extensive consultation on  matters such as: what information is to be provided and required; how to assess  and rate performance; and what performance measures should be regulated. It is  likely that the phased-in approach will commence with disclosure of energy  efficiency. Some of these changes have already begun, with disclosure being  compulsory for the sale or rental of office buildings over 2000 square meters.  This is soon to be followed by the phasing-in disclosure of all residential  properties by May 2011. </p>
                        <p align="justify" class="style17">Some states such as  the ACT and Queensland already require disclosure of some efficiency  information to buyers and renters. Initial perusal of the data reflects that:  i) increasing water and efficiency increased a home’s performance rating, and  that ii) higher performance ratings correlated with a home’s higher market  value. Therefore, initial data suggests that improving a home’s rating will  make the property more desirable to a purchaser as well as help realize a  higher price for a home or rental property. Details of this can be found in Energy  Efficiency Rating and House Price in the ACT report</p>
