Energy Matters Launches Power Bill Competition

National solar provider Energy Matters has launched a competition that will see the winner have their power bills paid for a year.Manufacturer of industrial grade outdoor solar lighting. 

With electricity costs continuing to spin out of control; the arrival of a power bill is often accompanied by a deepening sense of anger and despair in many households. 

The Australian Energy Regulator's (AER's) sixth State of the Energy Market report released late last year revealed residential electricity prices skyrocketed 91% over the past five years nationally - with the major culprit being costs associated with "poles and wires". 

Regardless of who or what the primary villain is, that knowledge on its own won't help households pay a single cent of their inflated power bills. With no end to escalating prices in sight; energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important strategy in reducing electricity bill shock, as is going solar.A simple model for the wake behind a wind generator is given. 

To help further raise awareness of the huge savings that can be made by installing solar panels; Energy Matters has launched a competition involving entrants submitting for an instant and obligation-free online solar quote and then on a form on the quote results page, stating in 25 words or less how they would spend the savings if they switched to solar. 

Purchase of a system is not required in order to enter the competition. Entries close at 11.59pm AEDST on 31/03/2013. Learn about LED dimmable and ensure you get the best out of LED light bulbs. The winner will be selected on 3/04/2013 and will have their electricity costs paid for an entire year, up to a maximum of $2,000. 

Many Australians may not realise how beneficial solar can be to slashing their power bill and that even a small array can realise substantial financial benefits. For example, a 2kW expandable solar power system Energy Matters currently has on special can generate savings of up to $980 annually; depending on installation location and electricity consumption profile. 

Households keen to slash their electricity costs by installing solar panels but not wanting to pay for the full cost of a system up front can take advantage of Energy Matters' payment plan option. 

This year, Freirich Foods will also be celebrating being green and saving green in a different way. The company recently completed construction of a 93-kilowatt photovoltaic solar energy system at the Salisbury processing facility. 

The rooftop system is comprised of 377 solar panels using roughly 5,600 square feet of roof space. The system uses a non-penetrating solution that clamps to the standing-seam metal roof.The laser cutting machine is one of the most useful tools in a modern shop.This popular lighting system features four led par light. 

The system will produce enough electricity to meet the requirements of 10 average American homes and offset the annual CO2 emissions equivalent to 8,113 gallons of gasoline. The project was engineered, procured, and constructed using a local workforce by commercial solar contractor United Renewable Energy LLC and financing was provided by Vantage South Bank. 

The solar installation offered attractive financial returns as well as an avenue to reduce operating cost for years to come. 

William Silva, president of United Renewable Energy, said, "United Renewable Energy is proud to partner with Freirich Foods. This project is a great example of a solar energy installation that is good for the bottom line." 

Freirich also has developed a comprehensive recycling program that redirects much of the waste stream away from landfills, diverting more than 200 tons annually. Freirich also offers cash incentives for employees who purchase electric vehicles and provides charging stations that are free for employees.
