I have signed a contract to install 2KW of solar power from a local supplier so he won't be much use in WA. I have been interested In solar power for some time but wanted to see a system working. The solar power at Wiruna is very effective so I know what can be done.
My neighbours are using this supplier and are satisfied with the pricing, workmanship and results The cost is $4600 and I am registered for the 60c/KWh as I beat the deadline. I suppose I am lucky that I have the money available to indulge in this exersize and the projected income from power will be about equal to my usage costs. If it works for 4 years it will have paid for itself. A 25% return for a $4600 investment. Better than having the money sit in a fixed deposit at 6%.
It is a slight inconvenience that it won't work with a power outage but I still have my standby generator that can power everything (except the A/C).
I am not doing it to be a Greenie. I would just like to test the technology. I will try to burn up other stuff to make sure that I put enough CO2 into the air to offset the savings.
