Hi bargainhunters,
I thought I'd give this site a try as there's a lot of savvy people on here.
My mum is interest in getting solar panels and wants a few quotes or even special discounts
- see solar offer for fiftyupclub.com – does anyone know of other websites like this?
Such as onebigswitch.com.au etc
It would be very helpful if you could list as many you can think of.
Thanking you in advance.
Nothing from those sort of sites is likely to give a good quality install.
Best bet is to head to Whirlpool Green Tech forum and search for recommendations of solar installers in your area.
Before even considering solar, your mum should do some energy usage analysis. These days, solar can only really be financially justified if you can use/move the majority of your energy usage to daylight hours.
If your Mum is at work all day, that's going to be pretty difficult, especially if her washing machine/dishwasher don't have timer options.
You get paid so little for feeding power into the grid that it's barely worth it at all, so the system has to pay itself back in savings from not importing power.
