Comments on the installation: "Installer worked efficiently but took a week to complete installation due to family commitments restricting him to half days and having to travel 1 hour to the site."
Comments on the system performance: "I chose a split array to give me longer generation time as opposed to peak generation yet am still getting peak of 4.5kW from a 5kW system and am generating from 0630 until 1930, as at 1 January, thus with battery use overnight I am 99% self sufficient. Last power bill showed I imported 3kWh at a cost of 46 cents however supply charges of $17.21 boosted the bill to $17.67 This is compared to $76 for the same period last year. Note: This was prior to the Export meter being installed so I confidently expect my next and subsequent bills to be in credit."
Advice: "Do independent research on components offered in quotes as some use near end of production components to keep costs down. Bottom line ...... don't skimp for the sake of a few dollars."
