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.

wello , I used this website, https://www.solarquotes.com.au/, and I invited 4 companies based on my assessment of their products and customer reviews. Being a seasoned sales person myself, I put a small detailed scope of work together and invited them to come and do a site visit and to discuss the project. Two companies did a satellite survey and asked me to email them the scope and priced the project without setting foot outside their offices, their prices were on average 30% above the two that did do the site visit.(I am guessing that their contingencies put them out of the ballpark!) Greenwiring was the most punctual, most complete and most transparent and knowledgeable of the lot and I have to say did exactly what they said they would do in the time and budget that they committed to. I was very happy. That’s why I engaged them on the solar hot water 3 years later and they repeated their previous operational plan perfectly. I can’t comment on other companies because I never dealt with anybody else but them, sorry.

By the time you investigate every option in the country the scheme will be over! Meanwhile mine is producing average 55-65kw per day.

Isn’t the golden rule, discount all the Chinese-made crap (the cheapest stuff), see what’s left and go with the mid-range of that lot?
And PB, we all know yours were subsidised by XXXX to pay for their neon sign on your roof.

Ha Ha yes i must concede that part of the project involves the consumption of a world class beer....The El cheapo deals are the ones to run from indeed. Rather get a smaller more expensive better quality system than a larger cheaper shit system

Wello, I checked their rankings on the site I mentioned above. For the period “previous 6 months” they are in number 5, for the period “ last 12 months”, they not on the list, for the period “all time“, they not on the list. The site does explain their ranking algorithm. I noticed greenwiring is in position 4 for the period “all time”, but is not in either list for last 6 or 12 months.
Rankings are one thing, get them out and talk with them, your intuition based on that discussion and their body language etc. will help you come to a decision. When we are faced with a multitude of choices instead of being excited, we often get confused and concerned that maybe we are going to make the wrong decision.

It’s why I invited what I thought were the best 4 at the time and then used the human interaction component to drive the final decision.

Be brave, good luck.

By the way......you can have your solar system identified separately on your home insurance and insure it for full value replacement if it comes to harm......rock throwing fuckers in the neighbourhood, or hail, high wind etc....just thought I would mention it.....

all good mate .. im just contemplating weather its better to have 24 panels at 275 w .... or 19 panels at 350 w .. both do 6.6 kw , but im thinking the less panels the less likely to have issues maybe .. both panel have fairly decent reviews , except one is monocrystalline x 19 .. and the other is poly . x 24

Both inverters inside the garage , there are no other components other than solar panels.
