With the ever mounting cost of electricity, we've gone solar! This morning, workers for our supplier AusGreen Solar Solutions turned up as early as 6.30 am to begin the installation of our 11 panel roof-top system and by 10 am everything was in place and we're now contributing to the national grid.
A local electrician contributed to the team of 3 and wired up our Photovoltaic Converter. This lets us see in real time the amount of electricity being generated from our roof-top and how much is being fed back into the system, for which get a financial credit from Origin Energy. Calculations show that we will halve our electricity bills and the system will pay for itself in about 4 years without any government subsidy.
Our panels are of superior Canadian design with high efficiency and thicker glass than usual, which is less likely to be damaged by the hail we sometimes get here. I have a few pictures of the job being done.
