Fuel costs are expected to double over the next 10 years. Replace increasingly expensive fossil fuels with free energy from the sun. Peace of mind - Enjoy the comfort of plenty of hot water for free. Reduced carbon taxes. Carbon taxes are coming in budget 2010 and to help reduce your carbon tax bill, you should install a solar panel as this will directly impact the carbon emissions from your home.
