Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.
A nice guy , my Neighbour , sat in and listened ysterday to the salesman on Solar quote..
Anyhow ,, 3 Kw (12 panels , 2 strings one east one west ,(so they can't be seen from the street)..
= $10200.
What do you think ???

nsw gov gave us small towns people 1.5Kw system's for free just pay the sparky to wire it to a gross meter [$300] and get 60 cents for every Kw produced,i 'll be paying a extra $400 for the panels to be placed on angled frames to face true north/avoid damage from stone thrower's going passed [pissed idiott's] and get full sun because of neibours bushy gum tree.the same system cost $2k to be installed in S.A. by the same companyPt Wakefield Matt

Hi Bruce,
I think I have 2 spare 180 watt panels $540(Komaes Solar)left out of a batch of 48 I imported,also 80 watt camp panels $425 and 20 watt $65.
I spoke to Glenn about an add on the site but most have been sold,some 20 watt left.
I'm going to import some more,as I sold the 8 panels for my own house upgrade.
I'm down at Lismore.
