    I've done a similiar thing. In three rooms I've got a central ceiling fan with a 240 volt 20watt 6500K circular flouro to assist daylight if needed and surrounding 3500K LED downlights for a soft nightime light.

    Nice work Rovercare

    My next one should be pretty similar -it's not due for another week or two.... but it's a nice feeling to look forward to getting the electricity bill.

    As our favourite red-head would say......"Please Explain?"

    Are you an average sized consumer?
    Is your set up bigger than average?

    Geez, I had talked myself out if it....now I got no idea.

    3.42kw in the shed and 1kw on the house, average usage is about 26kw/day, with stay at home wifey and 2 kids, Elec cooking and hot water, also pressure pump

    Wood heating, good house management, blinds and ceiling fans for cooling

    Also on the premium feed in tariff, just been quoting more systems with good quality components, payback in approx 7 years, no inclusion on theoretical interest savings as this are to complex and varies each customer, that's standard feed in tariff, Vic zone 4

    That also negates my bill of approx $430/quarter, even with the existing 1kw, this summer quarter is with the additional 3.42kw

    Also being summer, the peak sun hours are at, oddly enough, their peak

    That's what I like to see, real figures and experiences.

    I have heard so much gumph, that it just all became too hard - story of my life.

    Better put it back on the agenda - I have a great big sloppy roof, facing north....it seems such a waste.

    More than happy to show you or anyone wanting a look, no sales pitch, I'm no good at it, that's why I'm just setting up to have my brother peddle the systems to larger customers.....I lack people skills a little

    I put it on after the feedback I got from people whom I installed for, now with access to the same wholesalers I can pick and choose customers that are happy to pay extra for better stuff, for less than what they can purchase from an agent

    Do you come into Melbourne to do any installations?

    I am a very low power user with only a 7-8 kWhr daily usage so I think I could put a bit back into the grid, the returns they would be much better on the premium tariff but that horse has bolted. My north facing part of the roof will probably max out at about 3 kW worth of panels. From what I have gathered putting panels on another part of the roof facing in a different direction would require a second input (tracker) into the inverter which pushes costs up a bit again. Hmmm!
