We had a photovoltaic system installed in November last year, and so far it's all systems go. It's a 1Kw system supplied and installed by eco-Kinetics. Thanks to a deal they had going back in August 2008, total cost was $365 for the system (after rebates) plus about $1,000 for a new switchbox (which also had to be relocated).
On a sunny day, it produces about 6 KwH of electricty. We use an average of not much more than 6 KwH of electricity per day so allowing for cloudy days we should end up with well over half of our electricity usage provided through solar. Energex will pay us 44 cents per KwH that we export to the grid, through the Solar Bonus Scheme. Even with the extra we're paying to have 100% GreenPower, we should get a decent refund off our next bill. It's due in February, so I'll let you know then how we went.

Thats a great price still for a 1kw system. I dont think you can beat that these days with the Recs the way they are. Obviously this was purchased with the $8000.00 solar rebate
