2.6 Million Australian Citizens Using Solar Energy for Household Power Needs

Online, December 7, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Australia is slowly opting towards solar energy, a renewable and eco friendly solution for powering their homes. This includes home heating, water heating and even the generation of electricity for household electronic needs. With 2.6 million Australians moving towards solar energy, this is a definite sign of the future potential of solar energy in the near future.

1 in 10 Australians (approximately 2.6 million people) have now opted to use solar energy for their power needs. The figure has taken the energy sector analysts by surprise, and even shocked the government, which had forecasted a time period beyond 2013 for such extensive solar power adoption in the country.

A new report by the Australian Climate Commission has suggested that one third of Australia's total power needs could be met extensively by solar energy in the next 37 years.

Investment in solar energy has been fueled by aggressive interested by Asia Pacific countries looking for cost-effective, affordable and long term oriented solution. China has undertaken extensive solar investment, leading to solar panel prices falling. This has enabled many Australians to undertake home installation projects.

The trend has been seen more in suburban areas than other regions due to the high mortgages on property (specifically areas like Queensland), as it is a cost effective solution for those on fixed incomes, like senior citizens. Clearly, solar energy is no more a experiment, but a serious option to save energy on the high electricity bills that surban metropolitan areas see year after year. And, as Australia is among the sunniest countries in the world (Brisbane has 300 days of sunlight), solar energy investment in Australia is clearly even more profitable than other countries.

With extensive interest in the field of solar energy, many companies have expressed interest in entering into the solar battery segment. Aussie Batteries Solar, which specializes in genuine Deep Cycle batteries, stores solar energy generated from rooftop solar panels in order to store electrical power that can be accessed any time, day or night.

According to Mel & Chris Jones from Queensland, the firm showed expertise in the installation of solar power equipment on their van.

"Dear Mr. Gathercole,

We called to discuss having Solar fitted to our van and were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who called a staff member to assist us...we were given quotations to go and study before making our decision. After deciding what was needed, we returned and finished up having it fitted last Thursday, the standard of workmanship was excellent, and the care taken second to none."
