Well ..... had the panels installed and turned on pretty much 1st of January this year. Have been waiting for a power bill since then, seeing that one wasn't forthcoming, rang them up to ask whats happening! Got an apology and reveived a bill a few days later ...... finally!!!!!!

Finally received our first power bill since installing the 3kw system. Last bill before solar, $780 with just over 2000kwh. This power bill with a 3kwh system installed (estimated 12-14kwh per day average) ......... $760 with just on 2000kwh used.

Nearly fell over!

Day before solar, 31 cents, day after solar installed 39 cents, rebate from government - 8 cents. On this basis I will pay the system off in 2,324,222,123,232,675,649 years.

Apparently made 512 kwh's rebate of a grand total of $41.00 rebate. Increase in levy for solar .08 cents = $41.00

WTF am I missing here?

Rang them ....... Was told the bill is correct. I said why did I spend 4k on solar for zero savings? She said .... "I dont know why ... at least you are saving the environment!" I said thanks for your help. Hung up, rang again and got someone else who had a 'proper' look and said that it looks very wrong and the code says that I haven't had a reading and was an estimate. She cancelled the bill and now waiting for a reading and another bill.

Sooooooo ........ what am I missing? Did I stuff up and should have not put solar in? I dont expect credit, it is a 12 panel system and over summer it averaged around 12-14 per day. I do expect to be in front a little but am a bit confused at the moment on what is going on and what I should be expecting when I finally, one day, receive the right bill.
