Deal is only valid from 100km Radius from Sydney.

Check website for which package would best suit your household.

Prices start from;
1.5kW - $1350
2.0kW - $1900
3.0kW - $3200
4.0kW - $4250
5.0kW - $5350

To determine which size system would best suit your household; there is a couple of question you need to ask yourself:

1) How much is your electricity bill per quarter?
If the answer is less then $400 the you wouldn't need a system size larger than 1.5kW
between $400-$600, a 2kW
between $600-$800, a 3kw
Over a $1000, a 5kW.

These are only for optimal savings and owners can have any system size they like.

The second question you need to ask is "Is there somebody home during daylight hours to use the electricity"
As there is no point in getting a larger sized system and not using the electricity, as the electricity will be used in the house by all the idle appliances and always on appliances (fridge, phone, fax, cable, internet, etc)

Price is determined by size of system and brands of products used.

Government rebate reduces before the start of next year, each household rebate will be reduced by half.
Meaning that the prices of solar panel installations will increase as the government is no longer subsidizing majority of the cost.

Regarding the export price, that is determined by your electricity provider but is generally around the $0.08 mark which is why it is important to get a system size that best suits your household.

As for savings, a quick calculation below

Size of System * 5.141hrs (Hours of strong sunlight rounded down, taking into consideration cloudy days)
= Amount of electricity generated in a day * $0.22 (or however much the peak electricity cost is for your household)

equals approximate savings per day * 365 days in a year.

More information and calculations are found on the website.
*Note the price is on the website and the addition of an extra $350 for the level 2 electrician to install the meter and connect your system to the grid.

    I am interested to get some solar power panel/hot water system, but pity no more rebate in QLD.

    • AssociatedMetro Energy Group @ metroenergygroup.com.au on 21/11/2012 - 16:20

      There should still be a rebate happening in QLD, not to the effect of NSW, although some of the cost should still be subsidized, it'll be best to call a local solar installer to confirm the details.

      • Saturday on 21/11/2012 - 16:34

        Ok. Thanks. I will have a try. It is a shame wasting all those solar power, which is enormous these days here.

  • Saturday on 21/11/2012 - 16:52

    So how much rebate you can get from the government scheme? What is the minimum out of pocket cost after the rebate?

  • Punkboy on 21/11/2012 - 18:40

    Are these systems modular? Can you start with a small system and scale out at a later date without replacing the lot?

    • AssociatedMetro Energy Group @ metroenergygroup.com.au on 21/11/2012 - 23:39

      That depends on the size of the inverter you begin with. If you start with a 2kW inverter then that is the maximum your system will hold, If you have a larger inverter, say a 2.5kW inverter and only have 1.5kW worth of panels, then you will be able to increase the size of the system in the future.

  • coolsteps on 21/11/2012 - 19:11

    Just checked imaps and I live 101km from Sydney. Pity

  • brock on 21/11/2012 - 20:36

    Hmmmm. OK you say starting price $1350 but your website says $999 special offer… What price is it?

    You also state
    1) How much is your electricity bill per quarter?
    If the answer is less then $400 the you wouldn't need a system size larger than 1.5kW

    Your calculator for 1.5kW states
    Yearly Saving : $ 499.868

    So if your bill is $399 quarterly you only save $124.967 which equals $274.033 per quarter right?

    How long have you guys been in business for? I keep hearing about tiles getting cracked by bad installs. Since most people don't climb up their own roofs only find out when there is a down pour of rain causing wider damage.

    • AssociatedMetro Energy Group @ metroenergygroup.com.au on 21/11/2012 - 23:48

      The panels, inverter, meter and the installation falls under the $999.
      There's an extra $350 charge that's charged by the level 2 electrician that installs the meter.

      On a 1.5kW system you save roughly around $125/qtr. These are only estimated calculations, If the weather is terrible all yr round then the production would be less. If the weather is great then the production would be more.

      We've been in business for just over 3yrs. Our installers have been electricians for 9 and 12yrs and have been installing solar for 5 and 6yrs, depending on which team comes out on the day.

      The "Z" brackets which are used do not affect the tiles. The tile is pushed back and the bracket is secured to the rafter, then the tile is pushed back to its normal position. The bracket comes under the lip of the tile and folds back like a Z. If a tile is broken it is replaced.
