I should look into solar power.
The only thing i don't quite get is this whole tariff thing, i could be wrong here but are you not at the mercy of the electricity companies on what they will "pay you" per kilowatt? Only reason i say this is i am pretty sure my cousin got solar just over a year or so ago and he is getting something like 64c per kilowatt for x amount of years vs. 30c (which i hear is the going rate now) for yours.
I am not trying to upset you or anything but it is the fact that tariffs are very low now compared to what they were. I am sure i have heard of 84c as well. This is a massive difference and i have no doubt that when the certain amount of years ends they are in for a shock!! Fancy going from 64c or even 84c down to 30c!!
And what will it be in another 3-4 years time?? Going by those numbers it will be 15c, wont be saving much then!
Could someone please tell me i have it all wrong as i hope i do, but the tariff is the one thing that i dislike and if anything tariffs should be going up NOT down!
The company is giving me 30c per kw and the power company was 8c but changed power company that offered 30c per kw as well. This is for 3 yrs from both. But you must remember that what you make is used first and whats left over goes back to the grid so bigger system is better. My decision was more based on what I would save on the bill rather then what they offer.
