(buying all the gear wholesale with an ABN was far cheaper than being ripped off with a solar business who get all the RECS and just inflate the prices of the components)

Getting minimum $500 credit per quarter on my bill as well as 100% free power.

With depreciation etc 3 year maximum payback period.

Great work z80!

We have the 66c rebate. Haven't paid a bill in a year and a half! 6 months left to pay off the system. And 13 years til we get the RECS back too.
