Conquering Costs: How Rooftop Solar Can Empower Australians Amidst Rising Energy Prices
Written by Kerry Mullany
Ever heard the phrase ‘focus on what you can control, not what you can't’?
The phrase could easily be applied to a number of things in today’s world, but one that it shouldn't be applied to is your electricity bill.
In this blog, we identify an element of the cost of living crisis and provide a step by step solution to help more Australians take control of their household expenses with the power of solar energy.
The everyday problem we face
One thing affecting everyday Aussies everyday, is the cost of living crisis.
Not sure about you, but the burden of paying 25% more per quarter on electricity feels like a pretty heavy hike to us. In fact, we know most of you would agree as a staggering 60% of Aussies said they were concerned about energy prices increases according to a recent Compare the Market survey.
Luck has it, there is a solution to lighten the load that thankfully more Aussies are adopting.
So, instead of focusing on something out of your hands, focus on conquering energy costs the smart way with your fellow Aussie comrades.
The Clean Energy Regulator's (CER) Carbon Market Report for Quarter 1 of 2023 has been released, identifying that the number of Aussies installing rooftop solar is on the rise. Wahoo!
These Australians are focusing on taking control of their household power to nullify the uncontrollable issue of increasing energy prices. Good on you guys!
How can you take control of the price you pay for power?
Switching to solar is simple and affordable especially with Smart Energy.
