It’s hard to imagine a future without renewable energy taking centre stage. Every day, more people in Perth are realizing the incredible benefits of harnessing the sun’s power to fuel their homes and businesses. At Westsun Energy, we’ve seen first-hand how solar panels not only significantly lower electricity costs but also contribute to a more sustainable planet.
If you’re one of the wise folks considering this energy transition, you’re probably interested in the Renewable Energy Buyback Scheme (REBS). In today’s post, we’re going to guide you through how to apply for REBS in Perth, so you can get started on your solar journey with confidence.
What is the Renewable Energy Buyback Scheme?
REBS is an incentive program that offers financial compensation to customers who export surplus electricity generated from their solar systems back to the grid. This means you’re not only saving money but making some too! A win-win, right?
