Gents,
I have a 2.04kw system on the roof and was installed in jan 11. 12 panels
each generate 40 volts and on a good day about 13kw at 60 cents / kw.
Cost to me was $3772.50 and it was a 7 month wait to be installed.
I am very happy with the system.
In the first month the system generated 271 kw x 60 cents = $162.50 x 3
months for the normal bill = $487. My last bill was $500 so i am happy.
The rebate has now been dropped to 20 cent / kw which is the same price we
pay for power now.
hope this is of interest.
Rod
