    does the government still provide a tariff for solar?

    • MATTDAMON on 18/10/2016 - 14:18

      No, just whatever your energy retailer gives you (which is around 6c on average, some are higher but you pay a higher daily supply charge/usage rate which ends up being false economy)

      Solar makes sense if you are home regularly during the day.

      • Jupitarian on 18/10/2016 - 17:29

        Spot on! I think the best way to go is to install a solar system with a battery storage for people/families not at home during the daylight hours and then use the stored power in the evening.

        However, entry level systems with battery storage still cost more than $10,000 - $12,000

    • simulacrum on 18/10/2016 - 17:46

      In most states I believe the retailer foots the feed-in tariff, in Victoria (and I believe NSW) the regulator sets a minimum. Usually it's based on a weighted average wholesale price, adjusted up for line losses etc.

      I was about to say the prices have mysteriously dropped by 50% or more since the Government no longer does the rebates. Have to wonder how legitimate the previous pricing was and whether any of the subsidy actually went towards the actual real cost of putting one of these in.

      • edgar28 on 18/10/2016 - 14:42

        when u ever see subsidising really benefits the user? So many failed/ false subsidise program from government

        market regulate itself and only service provider/ retailers gain from it.

        for my case, the cost to install the PV "mysteriously" increase after the government subsidised it.

        the sales pitch is always "you get back your money in 3-5 years" with or without the subsidise (based on certain assumptions)

      • simulacrum on 18/10/2016 - 17:50

        The reason the rebates were introduced was the high price. The rebates were meant to incentivise uptake, boost the industry and ultimately drive down prices. Largely it seemed to work. The soaring cost of electricity also helped. Since manufacturing has ramped up prices on PV have dropped worldwide.

      Mine was $10k for a 3KW system in SA back in 2011 or 2012. But I do get the 44c feed-in rate until 2028 + whatever my retailer gives me on top.
      Now just need to wait for all of the kids to leave home so we actually generate some excess..

      • noz on 18/10/2016 - 15:50

        This 44c feed in .. does that mean, effectively, taxpayers are giving your money for the electricity you're generating?

        • ESEMCE on 18/10/2016 - 16:03

          No, Electricity users are though..

        • Fitzy777 on 18/10/2016 - 16:24

          I suppose you could think of it that way.
          I currently get back every 1/4 about the same amount of tax I pay per day.

          @scubacoles:
          Please forgive my ignorance, but could you explain this further. The 44c is being paid by the SA govt., so how are taxpayers not being affected?

        • havebeerbelywillsumo on 18/10/2016 - 17:48

          @noz: to me it raises the question "what is the provider charging the customer for the supply?" then "what is the actual cost to the provider of that supply". The difference is the "cost to the taxpayer" IMHO. Further that "cost" could be said to have (when bulked up with all backfeeders) a benefit for the taxpayer in a reduction in infrastructure costs as the provider builds nothing but get extra feed-in to the grid. My feeling is that the threat of additional infrastructure costs inspired these now discontinued large feedback offers in the first place, it may have been a kneejerk "I'm eco-greener than eco-green" of course. Also who's to say what using habits the backfeeder would have if still simply on the grid verses those with the feedback tariff he has.

          I feel it is simplistic to say "we taxpayers are missing out on the full feedback here"…just in case, not an attack by the way on you scubacooles, I did see you say "explain"

          To me the real point is how vast is the discrepancy between current feedback offers verses the vendors pricing. That points to a ripoff of all taxpayers and nontaxpayers that are on the grid.

        • ESEMCE on 19/10/2016 - 07:53

          @noz:
          Well I've educated myself and you're probably right..
          It's a Government Tariff, not a mandated Network Tariff.

  • noise36 on 18/10/2016 - 14:23

    looks like Fronius inverter in the picture which is good but no idea of panels

  • LaTerrible on 18/10/2016 - 14:24

    Hmmm, I wish had enough roof space for a system anywhere near this big. Decent price though!

  • Wantone on 18/10/2016 - 14:25

    For that price, I'm guessing Jinko or GCL with a 5kW Fronius Primo inverter maybe with a smart meter?

    • MATTDAMON on 18/10/2016 - 14:34
      -1

      No way its a primo, a primo cost price is 2200ex gst, so if they can put in panels + wiring + compliance for <1400 ill eat my hat.

      I daresay its a galvo which is significantly cheaper, and i doubt it includes the smart meter as they are 300 bucks.

      • Wantone on 18/10/2016 - 14:53

        I doubt they will use a Galvo for a 5kW, maybe upto 3kW. I'm only saying Primo because of the Fronius in the image. Otherwise they are misleading. I guess including the smart meter is way too cheap…maybe something like a Chinese Sungrow Inverter then.

    "This system will produce a massive 7300 Kilowatts per year.
    and will save you $1800- $2200 per year estimated."

    No, it won't. It will produce a theoretical maximum of 5kW, more likely around the 4.3kW mark though. It will however produce roughly 7300kWh per year in Sydney.

    If it's an actual Fronius inverter (as in the picture), then this is a very good price. Otherwise, Eurosolar is a bit cheaper.

    • coxymla on 18/10/2016 - 14:49
      +3

      Also, I highly doubt you would save anywhere between $1800-2000 per year.

      I have a 5kW PV installation on a northeast facing roof in Perth and I make just under $1000 per year.

      • RubenM on 18/10/2016 - 14:58

        Yes, you'd have to consume 100% of the generated electricity and be on an expensive TOU tariff to get close to that.

    • BigTed on 18/10/2016 - 15:27
      +1

      Eurosolar is running a deal at the moment.
      A 5kw system with 16 panels (I think) inverter and WiFi for just under $3500 from memory.
      However, I have heard some pretty bad stuff about Eurosolar…

  • ESEMCE on 18/10/2016 - 15:08

    will save you $1800- $2200 per year estimated.

    Yep, assuming your electricity bill is ~$7,000/year.

    You'll cut your annual bill by around 1/3rd unless you turn your life upside down to ensure you never use power between 5pm and 9am.

  • Zamos on 18/10/2016 - 16:16

    You still will be paying supply charge.. better change al globes to LED

    Could not see any clarifications by the publisher regardless so many comments/questions on the product. Gut feel seems to indicate the need for caution.

  • soloman86 on 19/10/2016 - 09:05

    This deal lacking important details like brand names of the products many have asked no reply and website they link to has next to no details.
