Price?
I’m looking at same size but haven’t decided on brand.
The more I read about the different brands the less inclined I am to decide.
Doing my head in.

I’ve found some of the solar salesman either have no idea or they are just out and out crooks.
More lies than a used car salesman!

Yep, thats why we ended up going with someone we know and has done good work with some friends and other people we know around the area.
As we sold some shares and cashed some LSL to pay for our set up I'm going to monitor the savings pretty closely. Will report once we get our first bill which should be soon.
On a average winters day with half sunny/half cloudy we find we are off grid from around 9am to 9/10pm. If full day of cloud cover (yesterday) that reduces to about 7pm, if a fully sunny day (today) we usually go to bed with some battery charge left and it runs out in the small hours of the morning.

$9500, they have a $7500 and $6500 plan with lesser panels / inverter.
Smart Energy, they do a finance / payment option, looking at stumping up $4500 up front, finance $5000 over 4 years.
Estimated bill coming down from $700-800 per 1/4 to $150-200 so around $500 per qtr saving = $2000 per year
Interest is 5% per payment, ie if you do X amount of X years = $230 per month you pay $11.50 interest. Can pay off / out at any time.
Agreed, the more I look around the more I get confused so we're jumping in.

You know how sometimes people come to do work at your house and you think "WTF have I done here?" and on the very rare occasion you greet someone, chat and think "Good, he's ok", well, this morning, *phew* absolute ripper of a lad knew exactly what he needed to do, knew what he was talking about ( ie the 20 amp cable wouldn't carry the voltage over the distance to the meter box without a voltage drop ) was a stickler for being neat ( ie running conduit from the panels to the meter box ) etc.
Fantastic.

I emailed them to check and they replied that I was all paid up but estimated I may get a bill for about $600 after the winter quarter now that productivity from my panels has come down a bit with the clouds, fog, and shorter days..

Still haven't had a bill but their estimate for the one due soon is now down to about $360.
