Cost
$10,995
We were initially quoted $9995 fully installed, however, we opted for a different inverter to the one that was quoted, and paid a total of $10,995. The upgraded inverter was able to give us reporting on generation, which was important to us.
Savings
The system would pay itself back in 15 years
We initially calculated that the system would pay itself back in 15 years, based on our usage and electricity rates at the time. Several factors have affected this over the last 11 years.
Installer
Righthouse
The installer was Righthouse, which is no longer trading.
Electrification State
We use conventional electric hot water, and primary heating is from a wood burner and heatpump. Prior to the solar install the heatpump was used in winter only. Now we will often use it guilt free for cooling on hot summer days. We purchased an EV in 2022.
