Then you get the depreciation as well.

I once had a pallet of solar panels that sat in the shed for three years...they were paid off/written off before they were ever installed.

Of course mums and dads cant do that and get the "rebate" which is codeword for inflated price by value of the rebate...

You dont need a sparky to install a solar panel...especially if you are on car forums where most of us can change a 12v battery without an electrician.

If you call a phillips head screwdriver a "plus" screwdriver then yeah...you need a sparky...

Little known fact...fit a 3 pin mains plug to an inverter and plug in to a power point and yep...you are grid feeding/self consuming.

If you dont give a stuff about being paid for what goes on the grid then dont bother telling anyone about it....after all you wouldnt bother calling Powercor when you start up your generator would you? Solar is just another generator.

Of course some twit will zap himself with these comments no doubt...


AFF takes no responsibility for any advice given on these forums. AFF highly recommends that you use your common sense and employ a licensed electrician for any type of electrical work particularly installing solar panels.
