    The guy that was worked out that we would be paying around $5 more per week that what we do now. That includes the payment on the panels. So after 30months we own the panels
    And start getting $$ back if we dont over use electr.

    Questions:
    Best panels:
    Best inverter:
    Size of inverter:

    Cheers
    Finance with the company your buying from? your not that silly?.....right?

    Best panels for the coin, Suntech, Trina, Yingli, REC etc, then move up to BOSCH, LG, Panasonic, then move up to not even going to pay themselves off

    Tips for choosing the best solar panels - cost is only one factor: Energy Matters

    Inverter, I'd stick with SMA only, but I've replaced almost everything under warranty for lots of melbourne companies, and SMA are superior to deal with, even AURORA (power-one) I've struggled with, they refused to pay an invoice as I did not have a company logo!, I'm sending their tech ATO paperwork to justify my invoice, bizarre

    Inverter size, CEC now dictates the panels must be within 75% on inverter capacity, Ideally a correctly sized inverter is better, but its also important getting string voltage right up there to, as working the inverter down low wokrs the step up componetry


    You can no longer wipe out your bill in a no/low feed in tariff state, salesman do not explain all this well enough, they are nasty buggers

    Entertainer, I'd be getting a few quotes and asking the more expensive ones why their offer is better. "Oils ain't oils" and component quality varies. Ask each vendor what is the pay-back time for the system on offer. You need to consider the feed-in tariff you will get, whether week-ends are considered off-peak (lower feed-in tariff) your current supply costs, and the cost of borrowing the money to buy the system ("opportunity cost"). In Victoria, each "provider" eg AGL, Origen Energy, has different plans, you need to select to suit your circumstances. Good Luck!

    I had a site inspection today but when the person looked at my last 2 bills he just walked away. He said we might be able to justify a 1.5 kw system but we'd have better uses for the $4K cost. Apparently we use little power and are on a good plan that the current supplier inherited from the previous power provider for the area.
