Re: HI HO HI HO OFF TO OUR NEW HOUSE WE GO !!!!!! 1464Dec 21, 2011 9:16 am nar, not when it comes to making our own electricity and selling it to the grid. they want to make their own and sell it to us. They wont buy it and panels for power (not just solar water) for us to make 16 kilo watts was 30k or something stupid too.. 16 panels, each makes 1 kilo watt...? cant remember exactly, ...anyway, we decided not to do it and to put that 30k in the bank and the interest can pay the power bill. HA HA, like we had a spare 30k, so in fantasy land that is what we would have done. we did get a heat pump hot water cylinder from quantum, $6,000. (ouch) but didnt bother with the panels. we get too much rain and not enough sun I felt. (hence not doing solar hot water as we would need to boost that daily!) and there is no govt grant etc to put panels on your roof etc...so very exy$$$ Re: HI HO HI HO OFF TO OUR NEW HOUSE WE GO !!!!!! 1465Dec 21, 2011 1:24 pm Carmel-the 66c ended in Victoria as of September 30th.
