Solar Energy Systems Now A 'Must Have'

First it was the rumpus room, later the second bathroom, and more recently the home theatre - now, home energy systems have become the latest "must have" item for homeowners.

2010-10-19
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA, October 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) More South Australian homeowners are going greener and adding tangible value to their homes by adopting the latest home energy technology.

Chief Executive Officer of ZEN Home Energy Systems, Mr Richard Turner, said he
has been inundated with requests for home energy systems, as home owners play
their part for the environment, lower their energy bills and also boost the value of
their homes.

The ZEN Home Energy System is the first of its kind to offer consumers a complete
branded, fully integrated solar grid connect home energy system.

"ZEN has turned solar power into an aspirational home appliance with a simple,
elegant and efficient solution," Mr Turner said.

"Many properties are sold with branded kitchens and home theatres as a key selling
point, and a ZEN Home Energy System is now becoming a 'must have' home
appliance.

"So when it comes to selling, you are not just putting bricks and mortar on the market
but your own power station that will provide the new owners with significant energy
savings.

"South Australians have never been more aware of environmental issues than they
are now. Homeowners and builders are keen to reduce their carbon footprint in their
own backyards.

"The addition of a ZEN Home Energy System is a highly effective way to help
influence more people's attitudes toward sustainable actions and add value to their
home at the same time."

Mr Turner said that as environmental concerns became more widespread, a
residential home's green rating is becoming of greater interest to potential buyers.

"A home energy system that allows its users to keep track of energy usage and
related savings is now becoming an important differentiator between otherwise
similar properties."

Mr Turner's comments coincide with ZEN's introduction of a new and exciting update
to its range - a new sleek super Black Solar Panel.

The Super Black Panels not only provide the best aesthetic look possible from a
solar energy system. They also combine significantly more efficient cell technology
with a higher power output and cost no more than ZEN's regular panels per watt.

ZEN has also removed another key barrier for the residential market's access to
home energy systems, providing home owners with a Solar Home Loan Calculator to
determine how to leverage their home equity to install solar power and gain a secure
and cheap power source.

"We've known for some time now it is cheaper to produce your own energy at home
than buy, but one of the biggest barriers facing householders has been finding the
cash to finance installation of a whole home solar energy system," Mr Turner said.

"Currently the only other solar funding alternatives in the market are consumer
finance packages which still can put strain on the household budget as the high
interest rates offset the savings.

"But by using equity instead, you can effectively make the bank your power company
with no change to household cash flow.

"The Solar Home Loan Calculator can show home owners how to take 10 years off
an average mortgage and save up to $100,000 in interest payments."

ZEN Home Energy Systems created the calculator in alliance with financial services
company Bernie Lewis Home Loans.

ZEN Home Energy Systems can provide up to 100 per cent of the average home's
energy needs. ZEN Systems can also be tailor made for larger homes or commercial
installations.
