I am usually at work during the day but I was on holidays for 3 weeks of this period. It was also the rainiest, greyest time we've had in Brisbane for years. Not great for solar generation. The highest I have had was 21.4 kW in October and the lowest around 1.42kW one very dark day last July. You just need to rearrange when you do things - like put the dishwasher on at night, washing machine too if it heats water ( I use cold). Getting your pool pump onto off peak would help a lot. Overall, a good result I think from my 3.15kW system Re: SOLAR HELP PLEASE!!! 22May 05, 2011 4:27 am The price of RECS continue to drop however I got the best deal from Enviro Certificate Services www.ec-services.com.au as they guarantee a 4 day turnaround. I recieved my money back in 3! I recommend them. Re: SOLAR HELP PLEASE!!! 23May 05, 2011 10:17 am Thanks Jan ... that helps a lot! I'd be happy if I was you ... clearing that bill would be awesome! Re: SOLAR HELP PLEASE!!! 24May 11, 2011 3:27 pm How are you going with it all Pebbles? We are FNQ and have had a good quote from Infinity Solar, and a very overpriced one from a WA mob who are travelling around. Infinity price is $10400 (after rebate) for a 2.1kW with 4.0kW SMA (German) inverter. Panels are Chinese however they are a better quality one and they have been manufacturing for over 13yrs. They do have other panels that are a lot more expensive. I had been talking to them about Schott (German also) panels but don't have a price on these. I haven't had any better pricing so far but still looking. Infinity have been around for a few years as well so they have a history. I don't know about down your way but the guys up here used to work fairly high up in Ergon Energy so I am assuming that have a bit of knowledge here. I also finally have an understanding of how the payment on bills works because I was very confused on that. It would be your pool for sure. We had one in our old house and that, combined with electric hot water and halogen lights gave us a bill a bit bigger than yours. Then when we moved out and we getting it ready for renting, we were running the filter all the time because we just weren't there to check on it and the bill was $$$. Our new house we are expecting our first full bill to be about $300. We had $195 for just over 2 months last account. Hope some of this is a bit helpful.
