    Yeah I’m getting to that point where I’m willing to pay more to install solar, and a battery or two, just so I don’t pay electrical providers as much each quarter.

      We’re also contemplating batteries because the amount you get paid to feed solar in isn’t like for like with usage. 25c cost vs 3c feed in.

        I couldn’t care less about the ‘profit’ for feed in, it’s just about not relying or paying energy providers. I keep getting told by Solar companies that batteries aren’t cost effective yet.

          I reckon energy companies should be responsible for industrial sized storage to make better use of the feed in but I hear you.
