Grid Feed Solar Systems Examples
Reduce your power bills and become less dependant upon polluting fossil fuels!
Now more cost effective with Government rebate scheme.
In the following examples, the inverter boosts the input from the solar array to 240V AC in order to feed it directly into the electricity grid. The power usage will come from the grid and you pay for the net usage (the difference between the two). If you require a power system that continues providing power in the case of grid failure you will need batteries. |

* Under average conditions in northern NSW & SE Qld
† Based on 15.3 cents per unit electricity costs
‡ Renewable Energy Certificates based on a value of
$49 per certificate (at Jan 2008 this value continually fluctuates)
! The labour costs are based on the installation not
being more than 50km from Nimbin.
¥ Price may vary due to roof type, pitch and aspect, cable distances, materials required and site access.
A complete equipment list can be obtained on request.
UniRac frames can be used in System 1 for an extra $50 & System 2 for an extra $100
