ZeroGen is a green energy project born out of a passion for solar. Our goal at ZeroGen is to push Australian\’s towards a renewable-based power generation model. Essentially we are taking the RET and blowing it up through the education and support of emerging technologies in the energy industry.

Reduce Electricity Usage

Nothing beats reducing electricity usage – it is by far the easiest way to reduce household expenses by reducing your energy bills. There are two ways you can reduce power usage.

1. Habits – By changing some of our day-to day habits we can save a huge amount of power usage, this means switching off lights and devices, using one fridge instead of two, using cold water in the washing machine and so on. Although this may be boring, if you want reduce your costs, it’s well worth the extra effort.
2. Technology – things like power boards that switch off after inactivity, and eco-friendly light bulbs. These innovations put less strain on your lifestyle, while still saving energy and money in the long run.

A Roof Full of Panels

Solar Power is by far the most developed and used renewable energy source in Australia. This is what it’s all about – kick-start your energy (and money) saving by getting solar installed today. You slash you power bills by up to 70% – depending on the system size and your usage habits, and as time goes on and technologies such as battery storage becomes efficient and affordable, we will see that solar energy is certainly the most promising of all renewables. The cost of getting a solar electricity system is still partially incentivised by the STC system which involves the issuing of renewable energy certificates which can be sold on the op market to companies that burn carbon to produce energy.

Everybody from Sydney to Perth is getting a solar system  installed. Get a quote today and start saving investing.

Solar Hot Water Systems

Electric hot water systems are extremely inefficient – discover how you can save cash by reducing your energy bills with hybrid solar water heaters. These types of systems can be very effective in heating water as they use solar to heat the water but have a fallback to either gas or electric systems. Most people would say that is you have access to Gas then solar water heaters aren’t really worth the return on investment, however with increasing gas prices and the fact that you still get incentives through the Federal STC program – these system may still be worth it if you are on Gas.

Some states also still provide incentives (like Victoria), but some do not such as NSW and QLD. To find out if your State still provides incentives visit the respective page on our site.
