Who did your solar and battery and how much?

I would love to know from everyone, especially from my Victorian mates!

Who did your solar and battery, what kW did you go with , how much did they quote you?

Was this recent? And lastly, are you happy with them?

Looking into getting solar in a few years so starting research from now and pretty much as soon as I have the money for it !

Thanks all.

To get an EV or not?

I’m hoping to buy an EV in a few years. We plan on getting a car and would comfortably have the finances for it.

Please share your experience if you have an EV. This is stemming from petrol price increases. It will jsut keep increasing over the years. Currently I have an old Mazda CX7 that eats up so much petrol and I don’t even drive that much. A full tank is close to $150 ( which is probably

Not a lot compared to others cars but I grew up with a Mazda hatch that did not take much and lasted a million years 😭😂).

Also I am hoping to get solar panels in the next few years too for my electrical usage ( in general not jsut for the EV).

Do you have an EV? How is your electrical bill or just maintenance

Thanks all

For my Victorian mates! Should I get solar panels?

With the cost of living and utility soaring in looking into saving up for solar panels!

For context my electrical bill is $500-600 quarterly. 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house. My husband works from home and I have a baby so I’m home a lot aswell. We still use electricity at night : phones, watching shows, computer up until 1-2 am ( don’t judge me our baby is asleep and we binge watch and game). We have a split system which we turn on to make sure our baby is warm enough but not too warm. So there is still usage at night. But also plenty in the day!

Don’t have an EV car but we are hoping to buy one in a few years.

My daily usage is 16.35 kW and I was looking into a 8 kW system. But given I still have night usage, I live in Victorian where many days are cloudy in wondering if it’s worth it! I feel like it still is but would love you to share your experience so I can learn !

Do you have solar panels in Victoria? Is it worth it? How much did you pay and how much do you save !!
