How much money is Peter in Jamberoo Valley making from his high quality solar power system?

Peter Kennedy, a conservation manager, and his wife Rita reside in the naturally beautiful Jamberoo Valley just south of Wollongong. They wanted to contribute to cutting down their electricity costs and producing excess electricity to sell it to the grid. Peter researched extensively for a reliable company with a 25-year warranty and came across CSIRO and CHOICE. They were thrilled with the success of the 18 330-watt panels they installed on their roof.

Peter and Rita were low-energy users and were unsure of what to expect with solar panels. They had already installed a solar hot water service previously and couldn't avail the rebate. So they invested the funds in a solar system that was a better investment in the long run. They averaged around 25 kilowatts per day production and sold energy to the grid of about $551. They saved around $4,000 so far and are thrilled with the system.

My name is Peter Kennedy, and my wife Rita, and we live in the beautiful Jamberoo Valley, just south of Wollongong. Beautiful, it's beautiful, natural environment. Wanting to do my bit as a conservation manager of past. I wanted to do our bit, and to make sure we contributed to cutting down our electricity costs, and producing excess electricity and on selling it to the grid. It was a minefield, I founded just a minefield when I started, and that's when I came across some research about panels. Just took a lot of the fuss out of going through this minefield. Some of the thing that I was concerned about was the companies. Whether the company was going to be around to honour the 25 year, you know, panel warranties, and the research that I came across was the CSIRO and CHOICE. And we stuck 18 330-watt panels on the roof, gobsmacked with the success ever since.

Well, I wasn't really sure of what to expect. All I knew was that we were low-energy users. We were, you know, pretty frugal with regards to leaving lights on and energy in general. One of the things we were looking at doing was putting on a solar hot water service. But because we'd already had one previously, we weren't able to get a rebate. So that money went towards a solar system, which I think was a better investment in the long run. The expectations that were presented to us was that we averaged around 25 kilowatts per day production. And we, I think, was the period from January this year, the 1st of January to the 15th, we actually sold in energy to the grid of about $551.
