Sold my petrol mower and whipper snipper this week
Decided to mow the yard when I got home today
Drove through a tropical storm on my way home
Got home and no rain, sweet still mow the yard
Go outside to the mower shed
Notice yard floating a bit down the back
Check gauge, 110 mm
................. Thankfully I have a real mower with an internal combustion engine
And a wipper snipper also with an internal combustion engine
No problemo
Mow the lawn half flooded
Feeling that power as I ran it through some standing water
Great to have a man's mower and wipper snipper a11304746ca85dac4914e2e8b8ddd411.jpgbade6ec12c2d204a0f2f5969eecdbdd8.jpg4ae74252909ddcea6e95ea535570d7ab.jpg

he has 24 hour aircon because he is getting big bucks for his solar back to the grid

that is no longer a thing for new customers 

everyone now gets screwed over for their contribution to the grid

ie: I pay 27 cents per KWh and the energy co gives me 9 cents for my "green" energy

Mowing in the rain with electric mower just means potentially (much) tighter grip on the handle is all....

Mine is only 4kw hey its just the feed in tariff we got into before the change. My next door neighbours have 5kw and are a $1000 in credit they don't use as much as we do though. I could probably add a few more panels but its doing the job.
