Is voting today or tomorrow? Also Kia Ora I always thought you lived in Noo Zelund :crazy:

you made the original claim douche that 2 panels would power your house, I just corrected you

if you think that is bullying then you need to grow a pair

:lol:. I'm interested now Twiz, could he mean two arrays or two sets or something? I've never seen a house with any more than maybe four (blocks), but you hear the claims they power a whole house.

an array is a set of panels, the govt subsidies allow for about a 2kilowatt array (4 panels) and you pay for the other 4 and that it provides a small portion of your power to be subsidised, so they dont have to generate it for you

roughly 80 watts per panel, less losses for regulators and inverters (to convert to DC), they only emit 80 watts around the middle of the day give or take 2/3 hours either side of midday and also depending on the intensity of the irradiation which is determined by the season

the idea is that if there is no one home of a day time you may actually put power back into the grid which spins you meter backwards, assuming you generate around 4 or 5 kilowatts and you dont leave too many appliances running in your house, the fridge and freezer are always the killers

the only way you can really put power back into the grid is to have a gas fridge
