Are you home during the day ?
Do you have a battery back up ?
Would you consider one ......I ,ve just priced one and it scared me .....a lot !
I used to live on David Rd in Castle Hill - had solar panels and they were fantastic . But im a power nazi , turning off lights n tvs !
Now im in Victoria and doing the sums for solar , whilst making the dolphins and unicorns live happy healthy lives is just not worth it .
Give it 12 months and the battery systems will be considerably cheaper esp as Tesla comes on stream .
My advice , say on the system you are currently on , wait and see .
Esp if you are home during the evening hours , although you may be able to square up the balance sheet if the panels make what you use .
But what is the pay in ? - maybe 11c/kw it may cost you 26c/kw to purchase . on the net arrangement .
At present you are earning 66c ? and paying 21-22 c/kw .Plus a daily connection fee .
If you would like a ripper battery system i know a guy , but he quoted me approx $15g to go "off grid " .
I'm saving that till i have a shack in Tassie or the country !
