Was checking the electricity bill (SA based) and just thought I'd let people know that, if you're with Simply Energy and have solar panels on your roof, they're charging you 35% more for daily supply charges (+27.423c per day) than if you didn't. It may not sound like much, but that's ~$100 per year extra, regardless how much you feed into the grid. No other energy company does this.

As a household that feeds in more electricity than we use, this is a lot more expensive than other energy companies with poorer rates. We're now switching to AGL, which (from my calculations) give the best rates for solar users in SA.
We're looking for solar panels for the Mansfield area. Any recommendations on what I should/should'nt do in terms of the technology?
Thanks
