What were Jan's key buying decisions for her replacement solar power system?

Jan, a resident of Nakara, Darwin, took a proactive step to combat high power bills by investing in a solar panel system, which is proving to be a highly efficient solution. After careful consideration, Jan chose a local company that offered high-quality panels with an excellent pre-sales, during-sales, and after-sales service. She opted for a 6.5-kilowatt system, which generates an average of 30 kilowatts per day, exceeding her daily requirements, and producing pure profit.

Jan is delighted with her investment and hopes that it will pay for itself within four years. She chose the more expensive range of panels, believing that they would last longer, and is eagerly awaiting her first three-month electricity bill to assess its performance fully. Jan consistently monitors her solar system's daily readings and is confident that her investment will continue to perform well in the future, providing her with significant savings on her power bills.

My name's Jan and I live in Nakara, Darwin, in the Northern Territory. Love the climate, love the people, love the laid back lifestyle. I thought it would be a good idea because we have so much sunshine, and our power bills are not cheap. And I thought it'd be a way to save money. I got three quotes. I read them all very carefully. Now I have a local company doing a new system, that I seem to be very thrilled with, with what they're producing. And the pre-sales, after-sales, during-sales service, has been terrific. He's very patient because every time it hiccups, I ring him up. Regardless of the time of day or the day of the week. And he answers me quite patiently and sorts out my questions very clearly. Panels I bought are the more expensive of the range of panels, in the hope that they will last me longer. I'm led to believe that I have got the highest quality that I can get, because it's a big company. And I'm thinking that they wouldn't renege on any claims they make because they can't afford to.

Because mine is a 6.5 kilowatt system, there is a five kilowatt limiter on them because I'm tied to the grid. On average, I'm getting more than 30 kilowatts a day going into the grid, above and beyond what I use. My best has been 37 kilowatts in one day. 37 kilowatts is above and beyond what I'm using. That's pure profit. I can't wait to see if it pays for itself in four years. And my first three month electricity bill comes at the end of this month, so I'll really know how I'm going. I know it's going to perform well because I take daily readings of the solar system, and it's going very well. I'm very happy with what I've got.
