Thread: 1MWh

It's good fun, just spent another 40k on stock, purchasing a suneye 210, when the dust settles a little I'll put in my own stand alone for a play

Split arrays, energy monitoring, consumption vs generation is the game now

So, with electricity costs of $0.08 per kWh, that is a bit less than $200 per year. How many years payback is that assuming no government cost manipulation?

Where are you buying power for $0.08 kWh????

Closer to $0.24 kWh here...

My system payback is 33 months (2.75years)

Canada.

I'm presently being paid 60 cents/kWh for my generation. I got the interest-free Green Loan to buy mine.

Interesting site Ron but I can find a cracker about who they are. Any pointers?

Who? PVOutput.org?

It's the bankstownbloke on the Whirlpool forum http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/user/362398

Vic is 8c now, think nsw is similar.

I "pay" $0.24 per kWh
I sell at $0.52 per kWh

Yeah your getting the premium feed in tarriff, its all gone to poop now. You'll find now that a lot are going for an east/west array to cover there morning and afternoon loads/usage due to not making a big return from the tarriff.
Some guys from nsw that I did a course with said that they are/have cut the feed in up there to 7c, and the supply authority are going to charge 7c for maintenance and infrustructure or something like that, so now a majority of installs are designed for time of use.
