On a persaonal note, I have just recently decided to install a 1kw solar panel system on my house which will allow me to sell any of my unused power back to the grid for 90% of the purchase cost. The system is going to cost $12700 but with the $8000 government grant it only actually costs me $4700. The economics of the system are not fantastic based on present electrical unit cost, i.e averaging 12 years pay back. However, the grant adds signifanct capital value to your house and with the electrical power costs being unfrozen next year we are about to see a significant increase in our electricity bills. However this increase will reduce the payback time of a solar system.
If interested in solar power then get after it now as the government grant is limited.
I am using Solar Unlimited as my system supplier. I did research on this and these guys are cheap, i.e more than half of the cost of competitors, and they are in it for the right reasons.
