5 What Is Solar Power Solar panel systems generate clean electricity using the sun's light. Solar energy is a proven technology that will help reduce your energy bills and your impact on our environment. Page 5

6 How does it work? Systems includes solar panels (photovoltaic cells) installed on a north, north east or north west facing roof, an inverter, DC switch, circuit breakers and cable. There is also a meter change over required. 1. Solar photovoltaic panels produce DC power. 2. Your inverter converts the solar DC power to AC power, suitable for household needs. 3. House hold uses solar energy as it is generated. 4. Your meter measures your electricity consumption and excess solar power which feeds back to the grid. 5. Normal consumption is reduced and credits are paid for excess power. Page 6

7 Why is it a good time to go Solar? Solar Credits Scheme Figures based on Origin's current market rate for RECs as at 20/09/2010. REC price subject to change. Eg: 1.5 kw Solar Electricity system under the Solar Credit Scheme Example Location REC Credit* Total Credit Zone 3 31 RECs x 5 x $40 = $6,200 $6,200 Systems installed after 30 th June 2011 will receive 4 x RECs Unlike the previous rebate arrangement the solar credit scheme is not means tested, and is available to businesses as well as households and community groups.

Feed-in tariffs (FITs) reimburse you for any power your solar electricity system feeds back into the grid. Current tariff rate for the scheme is 44 cents per kwh. Origin pays an extra 6c = 50c Feed in energy is paid at the end of each billing period. Customers will receive cheque if their bill is in credit after 12 months, or can request cheque for any quarterly credits. The less power used during the day, the more excess power feeds to the grid and the more money you save. Page 8
