- [Buying a Home with Solar: What to Look For Before You Sign](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/buying-a-home-with-solar/): Buying a home with solar should be an opportunity, not a gamble. A solar system is a significant electrical asset attached to the property, and its condition can affect both household running costs and future maintenance expenditure.
- [Why Solar Now Pays You Twice](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/why-solar-now-pays-you-twice/): Matthew Wittemeier
- [Energy prices should be falling. Your bill should too.](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/energy-prices-should-be-falling/): In the April to June quarter, average wholesale electricity prices across the National Electricity Market dropped to $74 per megawatt-hour. That is down 47 per cent on the same period last year, and the lowest second-quarter average since 2020. In Victoria, prices averaged just $56/MWh. New South Wales came in at $75/MWh.
- [What $15,000 Interest Free Actually Changes for a Northern Rivers Home](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/home-energy-saver-what-it-changes/): This piece explains what that actually changes, and four mistakes we are already seeing people make. If you would rather skip to the eligibility rules, the repayment figures and how to apply, they are on our NSW Home Energy Saver page.
- [The Grid Evolution: How Australia’s Power Network Is Becoming Two-Way](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/grid-evolution/): The electricity grid you are connected to was built to do one thing: carry power in one direction, from a small number of large power stations to millions of customers who only ever consumed it. It did that job brilliantly for a century. It was never designed for a country where roughly 4.3 million rooftops generate their own electricity and push the surplus back up the same wires.
- [Sigenergy: The All-in-One Energy System, Explained](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/sigenergy/): Most home energy systems are a collection of separate boxes: an inverter on one wall, a battery on another, an EV charger somewhere near the carport, each from a different maker and each with its own app. Sigenergy takes a different view. Its SigenStor system stacks the inverter, the battery modules and even a DC EV charger into a single, clean tower that works as one machine.
- [25 Years of the RET: The Quiet Policy That Put Solar on 4 Million Roofs](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/25-years-of-ret/): By the team at Rainbow Power Company · Powering homes since 1987 · 6 min read
- [Agrivoltaics: Solar and Farming in Perfect Harmony](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/agrivoltaics/): I had the privilege this week of hearing two absolute standouts speak at Solar and Storage Live in Brisbane: Karin Stark, Director of Farm Renewables Ltd, and Andrew Chamberlin, PM - Energy at Queensland Farmers' Federation. Karin, with her hands-on experience running Australia's largest on-farm solar array alongside her husband, Jon Elder, unpacked the real-world wins of co-locating renewables and agriculture. Andrew brought the Federation's perspective, stressing how energy reliability tops farmers' lists amid rising costs and grid wobbles. Both blew me away with the sheer potential of agrivoltaics—dual-use solar farms where panels generate clean power while land keeps producing food and fibre. It's not just compatible; it's a booster rocket for farm viability.​
- [EV Novated Leases and the FBT Exemption: How to Buy an Electric Car for Less](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/ev-novated-lease/): Three members of our team have bought an electric car through a novated lease this year, so we have watched the numbers up close. For an eligible EV it is one of the larger savings still available to everyday Australians, and it can make going electric cheaper than many people expect. The reason is a fringe benefits tax exemption that lets you pay for the car, and run it, from your pre-tax salary.
- [Rising Power Bills? Go Solar](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/rising-power-bills-go-solar/): By Matthew Wittemeier
- [Why a Hot Water Heat Pump Is the Perfect Partner for Solar](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/hot-water-heat-pump/): A hot water heat pump works like a fridge in reverse. Instead of making cold, it pulls warmth out of the surrounding air and moves it into your water tank, using a small compressor and refrigerant to do the work. Because it moves heat rather than creating it from scratch, it's remarkably efficient: a good unit delivers three to four units of heat for every unit of electricity it draws.
- [Petrol and Diesel Price Surge: Time to Electrify Your Fleet](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/electrify-your-fleet/): Fuel insecurity isn't easing anytime soon. War-torn supply chains mean petrol and diesel stay volatile, but EVs with solar infrastructure deliver certainty. Governments back it, costs plummet, and forward-thinking bosses build it in.

Heres how to make the most of it](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/free-electricity/): From 1 July, several Australian electricity retailers are introducing plans that offer periods of free electricity during the day. At a time when energy prices continue to rise, it's an offer that's grabbing attention.
- [Internetification of Energy: The Grid’s Digital Revolution](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/internetification-of-energy/): Australia's energy sector stands at a pivotal moment. With rooftop solar penetration exceeding 30% in some regions and battery storage scaling rapidly, the traditional one-way power grid is straining under two-way flows and variable renewables. Enter "internetification of energy" - a transformative concept drawing direct parallels from how the internet decentralised communication. Just as packet-switched networks replaced rigid phone circuits, this approach reimagines electricity as routable, software-defined flows across distributed nodes. It's not a distant dream; pilot projects worldwide show it's feasible today, promising resilience against blackouts, lower costs and seamless decarbonisation.
- [Climate Whiplash: Australia’s Grid Faces Unprecedented Instability](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/solar-battery-backup-australia/): Climate whiplash isn't just a catchy phrase, it's hitting every sector, and none harder than our electricity grid. Think about it: solar and wind farms, our renewable darlings, thrive on predictable patterns. But when the climate flips from drought to deluge in weeks, or heat scorches panels while floods swamp infrastructure, output goes haywire. The Climate Council notes ocean heat records fueling cyclones and downpours, with every 1°C of warming boosting extreme rainfall by 7–28% for short bursts. That's grid instability on steroids.
- [Energy Price Shock: Why Renewables Are Your Only Path to Security](https://rpc.com.au/blogs/energy-price-shock/): In many cases, the economics are also stacking up. With energy prices rising, well designed systems can deliver strong returns, often achieving payback within 3 to 5 years, while providing reliable power when the grid fails and reducing exposure to future price increases.
- [Battery Rebates Changes Dec 2025 in Australia](https://rpc.com.au/uncategorized/battery-rebates-changes-dec-2025-in-australia/): Australia’s home battery rebates have recently changed following new federal funding announcements.
