With the weekend forecast for great winter weather we booked in at Bellarine big4. Had a great time recharging the batteries while the kids flattened theirs lol.

Hi day @Bluey , just checked what I actually have.
13 panels x 240 watts = 3.120 kW system with 4 kW invertor.
To get good efficiency u want the system to run high , as close to the max of the invertor.
3.9kw on 4 kW invertor better than 1.5kw on 4 kW invertor.
We get back 25 cents, and would go back to 8 cents also if we try and upgrade here in vic.

I love the true solar adds selling 1.5 kW on an upgradable 5 kW invertor just to get you in cheaply, that means buyers run a system not as efficient as it could be, and drop there buy back cents if they upgrade.

If you want to see complaints google true solar complaints, like I did while checking out who to buy from, they have some classics and even made the news.
We have just plumbed our water tanks to the laundry also in an effort to curb rising costs, but the wife won't let me put the news paper in the dunny lol .

nice work I got 17 kw today 1st day up and running put 13.5 into grid rest in my house mmm not bad so far will be watching though my 8 190 panels wernt on he text me after lunch and said forgot to turn on on the roof power switch so up I went sure enough they where off turned on and boom full power inverter went right up wish I had full power day so see what happens next good day all in all very happy so far
