Don't care about feed in necessarily just want to be self sufficient.
Any suggestions on where to go, who to avoid?
True Value are advertising 22 250w panels and 5kW inverter for $3999

The cost of the systems is dirt cheap now and despite no feed-in tariffs(other than the retailer offer)..........does look like a good idea IF you consume alot of power during the day.
Any one else looked into this again recently?

Got mine installed in Dec.
Went through Adam Solar, a local company who didn't have the cheapest price but customer service was second to none.
Got SMA inverter and 20 x 260W Jinko panels for $5600 installed and he paid for the meter to be changed over.
Recommended him to a few people already.

That's 5KW?
What made you get a 5KW?
Are you, missus or kids home during the day much?
With bugger all feed in tariffs now isn't it best too consume most of your consumption during the day......as opposed to evening/night??

Logic suggests in this part of the world you must consider Solar panels
These are rough and perhaps inaccurate calculations
From what I gather , by having solar there is a potential to save something like 50-75 % on electricity bills
For someone who has quarterly bills of about $500 that equals $2000 per annum , so the savings might be about $1000 to $1300 per year
A system of about $5,000 would pay itself off an average of perhaps about 4 years [ this is an estimation , but need to consider all the variables]
So in theory if panels shave off a bill from $2000 a year to say $1000 [that being a 50% reduction] how much more can a battery save the consumer per year ?

Feed in tarrif? Brand of inverter & panel would be a start.GWW wrote:I got a quote last week for a solar power system, late last week.....I didn't get a chance to speak to the guy as I was at work (my wife was home when the guy came around).
As I didn't get a chance to speak to the bloke, I'm having some difficulty knowing whether the quote was reasonable or not.
All up, its about $7,000 out of pocket expense.
What are the main things I should be looking at on the quote to determine whether I'm getting a good deal?
System size is 5.4KW.
