Thanks folks for the Solar information will take it all on board
Cheers & many thanks

I have just had 20 X 260w panels installed on the roof which is a 5.2kw with a SMA German inverter.
total price $6,500
 which I'm hoping will pay for itself within 5 years.
The way electricity is going up it might pay for itself a lot quicker & the fact that our premier has just sold half of Ausgrid, well it wont go down will it.
I could have got a cheaper version, whit cheap Chinese panels & Chinese inverter, which all have pretty much the same warranty but some replace inverter with refurbished one.

Sounds good, good luck with it, and hopefully it performs as you want. Our's is a similar system and has been trouble free for 30 months averaging 25 KWH per day. We're only on a 8 cent per KWH plan, but as was explained,  the system is connected so that when using appliances during daylight hours etc we are effectively getting 28 cents. This arrangement works for us as we are both home full time these days, and even with a 14.5 KW ducted air con. ticking over through the humid summer months, our biggest bill has been around $265. The downside is that we paid more for ours than you did, a lot more :dash1:

The airbag suspension on my Disco has been giving me grief lately and on the last trip to Onslow She got the nickname of "Saggy Bum" because of the tendency of dropping the air out of the bags and dropping the rear end.
I am putting her into the Landrover hospital on Wednesday to have surgery to remove the errant airbags and have coil Spring replacements fitted :good:

The stockmarket has been a rollercoaster this year so who knows what will
 happen. I can always rent it out again if the real estate market sh#ts itself.At least the minor repairs are done and its ready to go

ah the stock market ...
overnight the US mkt is up 1.5% :shock: they have re thought the impact of trumps policies on the economy with lowering taxes will stimulate their economy more than the fed bank fiddling interest rates and hence a strong US economy can be better for all.
our mkt went down 1.9% yesterday and forecast is it will rally 3% today:yahoo:

there are toooo many doomsayers out there and the australian media ought to wake up and stop being biased in their reporting ... we want to be well informed ..

i could go on but thats it... end of rant
i' m off  for a large skim cappuccino :grin:

:i_agree: Our media in particular are pathetic. For too many years they have  appeared to operate on a very narrow agenda of distortion, manipulation and dictatorial tendencies aimed at social issues and political correctness. Nothing wrong with some of what they have been peddling mind you, in a perfect world we all should get to share the cake, but balance is required, and too often  their biased nonsense stifles the baking of the cake.

I'm guessing there are a few in the media feeling quite ineffectual and irrelevant today.
