Mathematical Investigation created by Mr Ben Stack s0182724
Clean Energy Incentive
As a part of decreasing the risk of climate change. Your family has decided to join the growing number of other Australian families who are installing solar panels in their household. If you are not sure what solar panel systems do, then watch this link from Cre8veSolutions to gain a better understanding.
Your challenge is to work out exactly how much money your parents are saving on each power bill. You will also help your parents work out the amount of time it will take for the entire solar system installation to repay for itself through the savings of each power bill. As an added bonus, you may be able to convince your parents based on your accurate mathematical facts that the money they are saving on their power bills could be put towards your dream Christmas present.
Watch this link from Enviromate. Throughout this investigation, take note of commercials like this one, or seen on TV, and ask yourself whether their claims really stand true.
You can now procede to the investigation challenge.
