For some months I've been seriously looking into getting a solar PV system installed at home. So a few weeks back I took the plunge and started to get a few quotes. With the recent proposed changes to the feed in tariff (FIT) I seemed to have caught things just right regarding timing. I am not normally so lucky.
At the outset I have to say I was somewhat sceptical. The entire deal seemed too good to be true. I ran the numbers a few times, played with some assumptions, found a few friends at work in the same position and still the result came back. So, I pushed ahead to make the most of the higher tariff before the December 12th cutoff and fingers crossed.
Inspired by this blog I thought I'd document some of the progress, thoughts and results as I go along.
As of right now, I am most of the way through the installation process, hopefully the last component (the inverter) will be available for installation tomorrow (Wed) and we should generate our first unit on Thursday this week.
There's quite a story to add to the install, some photos, some calculations and more than one or two spreadsheet to share, I shall endeavour to introduce these over the coming week as a way to catch up.
