You lads have an opinion on this system I had a google word is the double glass breaks down the solar inlay but with a 12 year warranty on product and 30 year on performance may be ok.
Cheers

how much ?

We went the whole hog....6.5 kW panels, 6 kW inverter, solar hot water with ground storage, and built in electric element when we produce more than we consume with built in instant gas Heater inline . Electric element only comes on in day time typically when we not home and/ or not using power, storage keeps it hot, if weather is crap or we are home then gas boost kicks in to boost water temp. Replaced lawn with artificial turf. Installed VFD on pool pump. Replaced all internal lights with LED And energy bills are well within range, we constantly produce more than we consume, but the low feed-in rate tripled the pay back period on the solar power investment but we made up some of it with the solar hot water. Will definitely look at batteries when they become viable and reliable.

The reason i ask is that sometimes these panels are manufactured by anoughther company and rebranded as something else. You need to ensure that the panels are "Tier one" that indicates that they manufacture the panels themselves and are not simply a on seller among many other benefits of the tier one accreditation and longevity of the panel. I cant seem to find anything about the panel you mention. Cheers Steelo for the contribution of the names..other than the Surname the two christian names may reflect the claim of Israeli ownership...

What is your feed in tariff ..

7.135 cents per kWh, we produce (feed-in) on average about 1200 kWh per billing cycle which is on average 61 days. Even when we have a bad weather patch lasting a few days, we manage to produce more than we consume. I’m happy that my investments have been good ones.

Greenwiring. Did a good job and they come back every year to service the system for a minimum cost, can’t remember off hand what the cost is, they also did the solar hot water with electric boost, I got a gas guy to install the gas booster in series with the hot water line after the solar system was installed for a few months, just to let things settle first. The solar guys installed the thermostat and bypass relay complete with timer at my request. Cost a little extra but well worth it in the end. Guys name was Ash Noon if my memory serves me correctly!
