I had no idea I would become a Virtue signaller..help..
I also work in an organisation which invests big time in making their properties self sufficient on energy and which also invests in tech to reduce usage in the first place reducing running costs and their carbon footprint.
It really is going to take individuals and organisations to make the changes that need to be done, 1 panel at a time if needs be. The government of the day certainly won’t.

Yep... hence why I have a 10.8Kw system going on my roof this month... 5 years to pay off investment & then direct savings of between $1800 - $2300 per annum.. (obviously dependant upon weather conditions across the year & changing some of our power consumption habits) sadly, we have to run aircon at least half the year... 34 degrees & 80 - 95% humidity ain't much fun without it...
10.8 Kw on the roof, 8.2Kw inverter is basically hedging my bets on batteries coming down to an affordable price/government incentives such as has occurred in SA just recently plus taking advantage of soon to be non-existent STCs...
Guess I'll just have to join you in signalling my virtues...
