QLD Solar Bonus

The Queensland state government’s Solar Bonus Scheme rewards households for their efforts to reduce their negative affects on the environmental.  The Solar Bonus Scheme is a feed-in tariff paid to households and small businesses (using less than 100 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity per year) for the surplus electricity generated from roof-top solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that is exported back into the Queensland grid.

Environmental Benefits

A typical 1 kWh PV solar panel system can produce an average of 25% of total electricity required per average household consumption, per annum, which is 1750 kWh.  This will save approximately 1869 kilograms of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gases per annum (using the greenhouse gas coefficient of 1.068 published by the Australian Greenhouse Office). 

Reducing electricity costs

Integral Energy provides the required back up electricity (eg, at night time) and will buy back any excess electricity produced by the PV solar panel that goes back into the national electricity grid.  The cost of your electricity bill will be reduced by an average of up to 22% per annum.
