    We had to wait until the input/output meter was installed for us to feed in to the grid - you may have to ring agl after the solar panels are installed to get this done - we had to ring origin who are our provider after the subcontractor installed the panels.
    With more panels than the standard 1.0kwh see if you can get some done under interest free option and pay the extra ones out of your redraw option - worth checking to see if they will do it OR see if they have a higher number of panels option (origin had a couple of different options we could choose from). This might mean more power back to the grid.

    You can prob fb DH if you want more info as he sorted ours out eventually after enough reminding

    Oh bummer. What is your price per KWH?
    You might need to invest in a bigger unit to see some improvement in your bills.

    Is that the total state + federal rate? I think the Fed pays 7c on top of whatever you get at the state level. In WA it's now 20 + 7.... it sucks.
    If they actually cared about this they'd keep the higher feed-in tariffs...

    For our Non-Summer Rate (up till Dec 31st) it is $0.2469
    For our Summer Rate (from Jan 1st( it is $0.2602

    It has 2 other rates after both of those as well. We have like 7 different rate variations on our bill :/
