Unfortunately you've been conned into paying more for your power matey.
You think you are doing the good green thing by paying your 3000 bucks and feeding your 1 kilowatt onto the grid eh?
Here are the real facts for you....
(a) Your 1 kw system would be lucky to make 250 watts on most days of the year, and almost never making 1000 watts.
(b) You will never get the 60c /kw that they are promising you because you will never feed onto the grid, unless you can use less than 250 watts an hour during the day...(hope you dont have a fridge or kids or a TV on standby etc)
Any power you make will feed your internal use first, before feeding the grid.
(c) You were being charged 17c a Kw hour peak and now you are paying 26c a Kw for your "new" contract....So your bill will go up cause you will never generate more than the 50% increase in peak power you've just been conned into signing up for.....GET IT?
Yes I know you are paying 9c after 11pm and before 7 am but your hot water was on off peak rates anyway.
So I am sorry to say you have been conned like thousands of others.
The solar panel scam is no better than the roof insulation scam.
You need more than 4 kw of panels for it to work in your favour, ask Joey
