23 of 44 new homes at Gilbertfield benefit from a solar electric system, which generates electricity from daylight. New home buyers at Gilbertfield also benefit from the Feed-In Tariff (also known as the Clean Energy Cashback scheme), which pays home-owners at Gilbertfield money for generating electricity from the solar panels. The current feed-in tariff for new homes is set at 36.1p per unit generated from a solar electric system (subject to change). Home owners save money by not needing to buy as much electricity, and home owners will also receive an additional payment of 3p for the units they export to the grid (subject to change).
Each of the solar electric systems installed on the new homes at Gilbertfield is wired into the house's normal electrical system and will generate electricity for use in the home. This electricity is used instead of electricity from the grid, so it saves the home owner money. The home owner will also get paid for each unit of energy the system generates, under the feed-in tariff scheme, regardless of whether they use the electricity in the home or not.
