Installing a PV system is a method of generating your own electricity by harnessing solar energy via panels placed on the roof of your house.
You can offset the cost by selling your Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to Power and Water. One REC is obtained for every 1 megawatt-hour (1000 kilowatt-hours) of electricity produced by an approved renewable generator.
Power and Water can buy all the electricity that your PV system generates if you are connected to our grid. This means your power bills will simply be the difference between the electricity you have used and the electricity your PV system has generated and fed back into the grid. If you use less electricity than your PV system generates, you will receive money instead of a bill.
Currently Power and Water is offering 18.31 cents per kWh for residential customers. A customised rate will be negotiated for PV solar systems greater than 10 kVA.

Comment:
Many rural areas experience hard water problems, need consider when deciding on solar hot water systems.
Found Solarhart needed replace their electric power booster elements and anti-corrosion anodes a regular activity.
Edwards solar water heaters using long life stainless steel acted as a natural barrier to corrosion without needing sacrificial anodes so less maintenance.
Edwards systems used a closed loop system, heating then storing heat exchange fluid in hot water tank through which running water coiled through obtaining heat from exchange fluid, then out to tap.
How might BlueGen work in difficult water areas ?
