Next door neighbor has solar.

Now.

M8...

I'll ask him when i see him outside in the morning. They only got it in 3 weeks ago.

[dezz]

and how many kw his system is

[Rekin]

lol solar never pays it self off. There is no storage in the system, only sell back when there is excess. and when the sun is shining during the morning/afternoon thats the lowest rate of payment. Electricity costs more at night and your solar panels arent doing much then.

There you go! and they go plenty fast, brembos stock too!

But can I bring myself into a fast ford with a slushbox?

I guess I'll have to find one to drive and see how I feel about that.

Feed in rate is 31 cents, which would be ~6 cents more than most people are paying per kWh to buy from their provider

No storage does hurt the effectiveness of the whole thing, but if you're feeding in an excess all day because you're not home and don't have anything running, then in theory as long as you use less at night than you fed in during the day, you'll be in front.

You're still buying from them for whatever you use at night, but at less than what you were getting feeding in during the day

pwhoh, id take this over the ford

my old man was saying something about a cap in terms of how many hours you can feed. I dont think its 6am - 6pm of constant feeding into the system? check the fine print or ask the sales person. There's something shifty about it which they dont speak of else my dad would have got a ready made kit instead of trying to build his own...

I'd do the same if it weren't for insurance (read my post 1-2 pages back).

Yeah I don't know how it all works and how much a system is capable of feeding back in, but it says you're eligible for the tarrif as long as you have a 5kw or less system, and don't use more than 100,000kWh per year, which I don't think any house would even go close to (just assuming)

My parents went ahead and got it without researching too much, so I'm trying to find out all I can now to see if it's worth it or not, and hope there's a cooling off period (it's not installed yet)

Good gearbox and a grownup car remember you can slap any turbo you like on it and the 4l will spool it with ease

Best part of all you don't get treated like a wanted criminal and insurance isn't a buttrape

I don't want to grow up at all!

I never had issues getting reamed by cops, it's just that insurance decided to rape me as their 'welcome back' present!

[kaitoukid]
