Solar move pays off for Warwick couple

TIRED of paying high electricity bills, Terry and Helaine Thornton decided solar power was they way to go.

Warwick Solar Power owner Trevor Donaldson installed the system for them.

The Thorntons were immediately entered in Warwick Solar Panels competition for the chance of a total refund on their solar system.

The competition has been running since last July, but the Thorntons' entry went in only a few weeks ago.

On Monday afternoon Mr Donaldson drew their names as competition winners.

"We're just thrilled to be the winners," Mr Thornton said.

But why should anyone choose solar power over the alternatives?

One good reason is that you can reduce your carbon footprint.

For every unit of electricity you use, almost one kilogram of carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere. Solar panels are very reliable and are a safe long-term investment.

Government incentives reduce the initial installation outlay. Solar panels add value to your home.

As electricity costs continue to spiral upwards, so will the financial return on your investment in solar energy.

If you would like more information about solar give Mr Donaldson a call on 0427 456 296.
