Hi all,

I am looking at doing my part for the environment and getting a grid connected solar power sutup and possibly add a wind turbine or two.

I like the idea of a grid connect system as you dont need batteries and you get paid for the electricity you make and dont use as this goes back into the grid and someone else uses it. Really you just store it in the grid and take it out when you need it.

I live on 55 acres on the bank of a large lake there is a fair bit of wind so I may as well use it, and I can locate the turbines well away from the house up behind the sheds if there is noise.

The government has a rebate of up to $8000 for solar grid connects and estimate it will cost me about $4000 for a 1 kw solar set up.

I know it costs less for a wind setup with the same power output (if you have wind).

Is ther anyone on here that has either setup that they can tell me about and any hints or info the sellers/installers dont tell you??

Thanks
Moof
