Ha? doesn't figure....
A 3Kw PV system costs about $6.5K to install, current BUY cost around 22c per kWh
Generates around 13kWh a day....
saving around $1040 per year on current prices
payback is 4.2 yeas without a buyback scheme from energy companies.
Saving $6018 in bills over 4 years if you include annual 20% increase in power costs.
Saving around $34,700 in bills over the first 10 years alone
Anyone want a new mount or scope
