wow, you have a small environmental footprint xela. well done. Can you run a fridge with that sort of system? Do you have a generator as back up?
My on-Grid solar system is a 2.3 kW with a SMA sunnyboy inverter, and can generate about 2900 kWhr per year. The 66 cents per kWhr premium rebate for any power i put back into the Grid is what makes it work while. About 70% of the total solar output goes back into the Grid, and the rebate covers by annual electricity and gas bills with maybe $300 to spare. The pay back period is about 5 years for the total cost of the system.
I have been ecologically shamed and feeling very guilty now
