Added Solar Panels…… energy company upped my rate by +25%

[ThisisOverload]

My peak day generation has been 235kwh. This month 5.3 mega watts generated.

Pool filter and 26kw heat pump consume 6kwh. I turn that on at 730am.

Air conditioning consumes 3kwh. By 745am I can add it on top of the pool.

I shut the pool off at 6pm. Aircon shut off around 7pm.

During the day it peaks at 29.8kwh.

Our annual energy bill was USD4.5k/yr pre pool and solar. Solar covers 90% and the feed in tariff gives more credit so my bills right now are $0. Adding a pool and heat pump I’d imagine USD6k/yr pretty reasonable.

So for me it’ll be about 2.5yrs to have covered it completely.

Would you PM me your spec sheet?

I've been working in the energy sector for years, curious what you are running to get that amount of generation.

Why do you invest money in a system with so little payback?  $17/mo x 2.

It wasn't an investment.

It was an experiment of sorts during Covid.

The houses are paid for and i figured i would test the new market in solar.

Bad choice, but i've spent more money on less significant things.

There is nothing special, I just run a lot of panels and have them positioned very well as the sun moves during the day.

90 x 445w panels

I have a 30kw inverter
