Dede Hi, we just received our first electricity account and pleased to see that the panels have made a big difference.

Frozzie, the price depends on where the panels are made i.e German or Chinese and the number of panels you install. You can have six or more. :)

Ah ok... We were getting thm installed here too but cancelled quickly (actually just in time) when we made the quick decision to move to oz ... We would have paid roughly the same as my parents which is why i assumed that was the price .. Think it was for 16 panels..

We were quoted around $20,000 a year or so ago.

We didnt go ahead as they woud have to sit on the front of the house to get the sun. It would have made our house look very ugly.

Yes, I was just going for the cheapest option, then adding on when we can afford it.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

We have 16 panels and a German inverter. I think I've probably said that we are over $1K in credit for the last year.
