The solar panel rebate ($8k) is means tested so those who can afford to install the panels dont get the rebate. Pretty stupid planning by the govt and no wonder no one is taking up the offer. If they removed the means test I would certainly fork out the $15k to install panels.
Hey Steve, In NSW means testing fell out last year. Subsidies are now available for family under $250k pa. Look up Solar Choice for further details on systems (Solar Power, Solar Energy & Solar Home | Solar Energy Systems).
We just had our energy consumption audit and the assessor fell over when he walked in to the herp room :lol: "Yep there's the culprit" was his comment. I saw the humour but not so much my wife. He told us that if I was to remove the herps our bill would be approx $600 per quarter... not $1100.
She has now given me the green light to install a 3.0 kW solar panel system ($10k subsidised)
