I like the " F U to power companies" bit heheh as for the buy back I havent looked what the current rate is but it wasnt good. im in a small 2 bedroom unit and will move in a few years so solar is not worth it, if it was a bigger family home id consider for long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a couple of breaks in the weather where the inverter was maxxed out, so that helped a bit. Cos it was just me and the toddler at home, about 26 got sent back to the grid. We would have used a bit too when we cooked dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait... soz you probably have a pre negotiated discount with AGL for paying in Gold bars upfront. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
