Home Solar a con
Home Solar energy is a con on taxpayers and consumers .
I have recently installed Solar on my home. The cost was to me 3,500 which included a 1500 subsidy from the taxpayers .
The power you generate you do not use yourself but you feed into the grid and you power your home on what you buy from the grid .
The power company pay me 8c a kilowatt for what they buy from me and charge me 24c for what they sell me . What a con ..
Until we have storage to hold what we generate and use ourselves it is not worthwhile.
Tesla a Silicon Valley. Company has released power wall where you can store your own power .
I haven't done the Maths yet but this technology will be a game changer ...

What rubbish Pete.
During the day you use the solar and you only feed back into the system the extra power that you generate that you are not using.
I agree though about the batteries to store power and they are already available but very costly at this stage and won't store enough to go completely solar.
Once the battery costs come down I will definitely get them and if I can store enough to run the house I will go off grid.
Using the power at night is more costly because it's peak pay time. They charge you different amounts for different hours.
