My main concern is running our 3 phase reverse cycle air con.
I can't see how it would be able to run of a solar system, with a single inverter.
Just trying to work out the viability and return to pay for the system.
Had to laugh when he suggested adding the cost into the home loan.
Obviously solar will have benifits but how long will it take to pay for itself??
Looking at a 3.5 kw system $27,300.
Quartely bill is around $700.
Would we be better of just hooking up on the lower tarriff for the pool and waiting to see the difference??
To be hoest I haven't realy done much homework on the whole solar power subject.
Basically we don't want to be having to cover a huge short fall between savings and loan payments.
Advice appreciated.
