Erik Zimmerman has successfully installed a couple of hundred solar systems as part of a community based solar bulk buying effort which began in Bayside Melbourne. His company Rezeko is continuing in this market and he shared his experience in the field with Beyond Zero listeners.

Individuals can contact Rezeko and either join an existing solar ‘neighbourhood’, ‘cluster’ or ‘pod’ or set up their own. Rezeko uses accredited installers to inspect each house and give a quote for the cost of installation.

Zimmerman stated that with the government rebate (which is only available for households whose income is less than $100,000 and will no longer be available after June 2009), 50 houses in a ten square km area were able to purchase a solar system worth $10,000 for $2,200 ie. $1,000 to $1,500 less than the market rate and they are gaining approximately $300/year in energy savings.

Interested parties are required to put the $10,000 up front for 1000W of solar panels (6m wide by 1.6 m high). The government rebate (if eligible) is forwarded within six months. It is also necessary to buy an inverter to convert solar electricity (which is DC – direct current) to (AC – alternate current) so it can be used. Additionally, a new meter must be purchased so the electricity can be exported.

North-facing rooves are preferred. Installation is possible on other-facing rooves but output will be less. The optimal roof angle is 30 degrees. (Frames can be used to tilt the panels).

Rezeko is also working with the Sustainable Melbourne Fund towards the supply of solar water heaters for 50 homes in the Bayside Melbourne area at a reduced price of $4,999 per home bringing about a reduction of 45% in emissions and a saving of $600-$700 per year.

Also discussed in this program was the issue of the ‘feed in tariff’ and households lobbying for a higher return for the electricity they supply to the grid. Gross metering is preferable to net as households are then able to monitor their energy use and production.

Bill Pemberton of Manningham City Council spoke on the program and showed that Manningham is ahead of other councils in assisting residents to bulk purchase solar systems and solar hot water systems (together with Nilumbik and Maroondah Councils). (Yarra City Council has also taken steps).

The Victorian Energy Efficiency Target comes into effect on the 1st January 2009 which can reduce the cost of solar hot water systems with a state government subsidy.

It was suggested that residents of other municipalities ask their council what they are doing to encourage solar technology in their neighbourhood.
