My Place

@ArraDreaming ahhh yikes, i guess on the bright side humid/warm + rainy combo is better than cold + rainy?

staying in the library sounds like a good idea. reading any interesting books while you wait out the flooding?

you'll love solar panels @Oaktree I love mine and I hardly pay anything for electricity now, sometimes I'm in credit.

I hope you have a great day.

Yes we are getting solar panels installed but no battery. Waiting on the battery prices to come down and perhaps have a rebate here in WA

@Oaktree @Shaz51 We've looked into batteries as well, but they're still too expensive and the payback period before it's payed for itself is too long for us. I think last time I worked it out, it was tool close to the warranty expiry.

@ArraDreaming they do have cool stuff!! plus, they usually have really nice bean bags to slouch on. i used to volunteer at a library and one of my jobs was to prep the lego workshop - the prep involved me building the lego to make sure there's enough pieces... definitely one of the most chill volunteer roles i've ever done

I've got a leak in my roof too @ArraDreaming . It's coming through around the edges of the skylight. It's not bad though. It'll get fixed.

Hey @Oaktree 🙂

I have solar panels. I've got a pretty big system. No battery though. I had to pay outright for it and I think it was about $15k.

I have an electric car so the solar helps. It also heats the pool. So I think it would be a lot more exp without the panels.

Do you get a rebate on the panels?

G’day @tyme

yes we get a rebate from the government of about $2200. The system is 6.6kw because we have single phase power so that’s the biggest we can go and it’s costing us $4,790 through Solargain. It’s getting installed halfway through November
