Australian Homeowners Save Money And The Planet


Every time we turn on a light, the computer, kettle, toaster or hair dryer, we create pollution due to the burning of fossil fuels required to produce that electricity. Our homes have a critical role to play in mitigating the effects of climate change. Climate change is a global challenge that we cannot ignore. It is a threat to all of us yet created by all of us. Globally, we are all seeking a cleaner future looking into better alternatives.


There’s a lot we can do to turn back this worrying global trend of ever increasing carbon emissions. While solar panels aren’t the only answer they can certainly form part of the resolution.

The Project Green Home Loan

At Berti Financial we have dedicated time into developing an innovative and cost-effective way for home owners to obtain a good quality solar energy system for their home or investment property. Our goal is to save Australian homeowners money on their electricity bills, their home loan (even paying it off years sooner) and reduce their carbon footprint all at once.


Berti Financial has partnered with Australia’s leading solar companies to provide a service that makes building an energy efficient home more affordable. Through these great partnerships, we are able to obtain the maximum benefit with the least amount of out-of-pocket costs for our clients. We have done this by combining tailored low (or no fee), low interest rate home loans and a high quality solar solution with $0 upfront costs into one package.

“Our goal is to save Australian homeowners money on their electricity bills, their home loan, and reduce their carbon footprint all at once.”

We’ve called this package the Project Green Home Loan.

With the Project Green Home Loan, you will:

  • Receive assistance with applying for the Renewable Energy Systems rebate from the Australian Government which can be found here.
  • Obtain a discount from our solar partners when referred by Berti Financial.
  • Reduce carbon emissions for a cleaner planet
  • Gain FREE energy during daylight hours, helping to reduce your overall grid demand and ultimately, cut your costs up to 60%.
  • Drastically reduce your electricity bill.
  • Reduce your monthly repayments on your home loan. We’ll secure you a better deal by negotiating with various banks and lenders on our panel
  • Have more money in your pocket, increasing cash flow.
  • Have the option to pay off your home loan sooner, saving you thousands of dollars on interest.

How you will save money:

  1. You increase a small amount on your home loan, using equity to pay for the installation of your solar package. During this time, we secure a better deal on your home loan.
  2. The solar panels will generate free energy during daylight hours, reducing grid demand and cutting the cost of your electricity bill.
  3. You capitalize from the savings on your electricity bills and then apply the savings to your mortgage as extra repayments.
  4. You pay off your home loan sooner and save money on interest.


In addition, you will receive a rebate for installing solar which can be up to $800 per kW installed. This potentially halves the solar package end cost.


You’ll also receive a further discount from our partners when referred by us. This all makes solar more affordable than paying for power generated by burning fossil fuels.

How you will save the planet:

The average Australian home emits 7 tonnes of C02 annually. If 5% of Australian homeowners go solar, it would be the equivalent of


  • Taking 7,700,000 cars off the road (the average car emits 11,640 pounds of C02 annually).
  • Removing 89,600,000 pounds of C02 from the environment.
  • Planting 6,900,000 trees.


In a day, the amount of sunlight hitting Australia is more than 2,500 times the country’s daily energy usage.


Carbon dioxide (C02) is a greenhouse gas that keeps the temperature of our planet stable. In a natural cycle, C02 is taken up by the trees and plants. The trees and planets then produce oxygen as a by-product which makes our planet habitable. Since the 20th century we have been producing more C02 than our planet can handle, which traps the greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere which causes global warming. The difference in only 1-2 degrees in the annual average temperature has horrible consequences on our planet. Drought, pollution and health problems to us humans and animals are some of the many problems caused by C02 pollution and global warming.


What we do today will determine our tomorrow.
