Re: Please recommend me a solar power company 11Apr 17, 2009 8:48 am Yak_Chat Why do you want to install solar? Why wouldnt you if the government is giving you a grant LOL. 1. Increase value of your house 2. Reduce Electricity usuage on your house thus saving money 3. Help the planet 4. Electricity Prices are only going up and up!!!! Question and i am sure many people feel like this why wouldnt you install solar panels. I would love to hear the reasons against. Re: Please recommend me a solar power company 12Apr 17, 2009 11:01 am I've been leafing through Choice magazine yesterday, while checking on the kitchen appliances and came upon an article on Solar Panels. In it they claim that the quality of panels from China can be very uneven and list only one producer there that's supposed to have uniformly good quality. According to them, the best quality panels come from USA. While at the Solar Fair in Perth recently, I've noticed a considerable difference in price between the companies offering panels of Chinese origins and those getting them from US and Japan. I guess that, like often with other things, you get what you pay for.

All the panels came from China, but the price differed significantly.

Was that the only representation or just what you saw. 3 solar companies not a high turnout if it was. Cheers Michael He wants a dream home theatre - she wants a dream kitchen!

As far as I saw, there were only three solar power companies in Melbourne's one, which was a bit disappointing. I was more inclined to choose beyondbuilding recommended by borg. Re: Please recommend me a solar power company 18Apr 17, 2009 5:00 pm paddy 3 solar companies not a high turnout if it was. Cheers Michael I wouldn't expect many more. Remember the rebate can only be achieved by accredited installers (not any sparkie can do it for you) and apart from the very successful solar homes rebates, there is currently the solar schools rebate as well. $50k per school, available to all schools tends to leave accredited installers a bit in short supply. Ian I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken! Re: Please recommend me a solar power company 19Apr 17, 2009 6:29 pm Understand in what you are saying swanning it, but being a major home show I thought this would be where companies would be peddling their wares. Also with the rebate running out shortly surely you would want to hook in ( i mean capture ) the last of joe public that you could. But that is only my take on it.

Yep, it's very strange! In that Solar Fair in Perth I've counted 7 outfits, spruiking their stuff.
