Default Re: who amongst us have gone solar

i have a 2.1 kw power system on my shed roof with the option to expand to 3.4 km when i save up for some more panels. it cost me $4300 fitted.

i havent had a full account period yet since it was hooked up with the new meter but i am guessing i should come out wit about a neutral account. i`ll be happy with that.


when i had the house built 18 months ago i opted for a solar hot water system. i went with a AAE convection tube type and since i moved into house october 2010 i have turned on the electric booster about 3 times when we have had a week or more of rain without seeing any sun. means that my showers are free = tank water from the rain on the roof and electricity free heating.
