@psychoboy the ozzies i work said worth it daw.. They have had it for the last 12 years or so and never had to pay electricity and the govt gives them mga 80-90 aud per month kasi they produce more power than they consume. I dont remember how soon na recoup ung investment. Pero sabi ng isang ozzie at work.. They have a pool and very worth it may solar panel to heat it kasi if they use daw electric..too expensive to heat it up.
Most of them is a household of 4-5 .. So maybe if heavy electric user ok yung solar panels long term.
Yung ate ko naman.. Wala pang solar panels but very keen sila kasi ung uncle ng hubby nya sa queensland said even whole day aircon sila dun during summer.. No bills daw so very worth it,
On this note, ung friends ko before kasi naninibago sa winter. There were 3 of them flatting and they do monthly billing or bill smoothing. 2 out of 3 of them left the heater on most days without the 3rd one knowing this was happening... They got a bill of 900 for 1 month! At first the 3rd person thought it was a mistake kasi usual bill nila nasa 90-150 per month lng (no clothes dryer/ electric stove and 1 bakes a lot) then upon discussion..yun pala was happening:p
So i guess it depends on consumption if one thinks it is worth it or not🙂
