Good coin, main thing is they pay and are good to deal with. Whilst the money is good, doing it full time would drive me nuts.

I more meant it would get boring. I like the variety of different jobs, it helps with my disturbed little brain

Just an update on this installation.
It has generated 1163 Kw in just under 5 ( winter) months
Fed in 483 of that back to the grid.
Therefore I've used 680 kw saving 19.9 cents per KW = $135.32
Fed back in 483kw @ 33 cents per KW = $159.06
repaid to date $294.38
Assuming that the summer will be 30% more generation I would think that could go another $400 which is around &700 payback on $6400 in the first 12 months. Not lucrative but better than a lot of investments ..

Plus it means less coal is burnt which has to be a Good thing all round even for some one like me who is not a Greenie.
Actually that is a good return on investment so even better.

Yep, shutting down generators everywhere, and that silicon was melted down in fossil fuel free fired burners in china

A guy a Murdoch uni did a thesis looking at energy and carbon payback periods from grid interactive solar systems in AU. Melbourne/vic was the quickest (0.8 yrs) - even though they don't have as much sun as elsewhere - because they burn brown mud (as you would know). Tas was the longest - 1.3 years. Others were in between.Yep, shutting down generators everywhere, and that silicon was melted down in fossil fuel free fired burners in china
The study factored in the emissions during production in US/EU/China and transport. All the aluminium in the framing and the inverter ended up being as bad as the silicon (or worse).

Impressive, Tas is interesting though, as its primarily hydro, aside from the basslink interconnector and I think Launceston power station, linking it to the eastern seaboard of the big island, so I wonder where there large carbon emmissions come from?
I think there may be more "interesting" data which may skew the outcome, also depends on the source
Essentially it has done alot for A/C peak load, as this is a major problem, although its had a few negative effects in vic, with feeder set ups and the assosciated antiquated voltage reg's, auto tap tranny's working overtime, so there is more moola in infrastructure to make up for
Although, in sunny QLD they can oversize there systems as opposed to mexico being restricted to inverter size, would be interesting to know the after effects, although, there grid may of been better to start with, I have no idea
