Holy cow you guys in the Eastern states get cheap electricity, it cost me 28c for the 1st 1200kw and around 30c for the next 1000kw. And that is the winter rate, it rises a couple of cents per Kwh for the summer tarif. Typical here in SA getting ripped off. I have a 4.5kw system, and got a cheque back for over $600 last quarter of billing.
would have been a lot more if we didnt have to pay so much for what we actually import from the grid.

The solar companies here are offering systems for under half the price they were 8 months ago, makes me wonder how much they had their prices marked up. Once the feedin tarif was dropped by the SA Govt the companies managed to offer systems at crazy prices compared to 8 months ago.
