I said I don't care (about subsidies), I stated I hated the hypocracy of the left, demanding subsidies for themselves and trying to deny it to others
you will of course provide your evidence of where I've done that, otherwise you'll just be judged as a liar, I await your link.Because looking back over this thread the only people bitching about rebates are you and the other the rightards.hypocrite much.

Yes, indeed, "making money" at the expense of those who don't get a solar panel rebate,



People do tend to exaggerate their 'success' with solar power.  Unless he's bought a very large system, and has very low consumption (and lives alone) I can guarantee he'd have got a bill, at least during winter.

You prove you have no idea every time you press the post button.
My brother in law, is making more power than he uses,and thanks to the generous scheme from NSW Labor, actually earns money as well as receives free power, only numnuts with no idea about solar or the scheme would write such crap.


And if he makes more power than he uses through winter he must have a very large system, and have low consumption, just like I said. 

It's possible, but more likely is that you, him or both are liars.

No, the problem is that I know enough to call you out on your lies.  You know this, which is why you simply give a broad-brush 'you don't know what you're talking about' instead of pointing out where or why I'm wrong.

You're wrong on so many counts I dont know where to begin.
I 'live on 2 kw of power, I do not get  rebates as my Brother in law as I've had mine for 9 years now. My brother in law has a 4kw system, with massive rebates ,selling back to the grid due to the NSW govs very generous scheme, now what do you need to know Einstein,as every time you post you just make a bigger idiot of yourself than the last.
You're wrong because you dont understand how solar works, you proved that with your statement about winter, I often get more power in winter than summer, in the sub tropics it rains in summer and often is over cast, while we still get power when its over cast it is often less than I can get in the middle of July,even tho the daylight hours are less.I didn't bother going into when you proved you are speaking through your ass, if you can use your head and listen I can help you, if not buzz off and dont waste my time.

I would have thought his system was pretty average now, most of the adds I see are for 3 or 4 KW systems.  I saw an add last week for a 3 KW system for 5 grand after rebates.

Same here. 

In fact, I would  go so far as to say the electricity charges have become a "tax for the economically inept".

If you are still paying for electricity after all these years of schemes to avoid or reduce it, you are a dill and deserve all you get.

Most of the ads I see here are for 1.5kw systems (8 panels).  I've talked to people with these (who have the same number of people living in the house and electric hot water) who claim they're making money from them.  I just nod when they tell me this poo, because I have 12 panels and solar hot water, but I still had significant bills over winter.

So you went through all of that and still didn't tell me you had solar Roll Eyes.

From my experience, and if you have it you'll probably know this anyway, if you still use an electric oven you're wasting your cash,you need gas cooking, solar or gas hot water,gas or combustion heating and preferably an energy efficient house to begin with.
I have seen adds lately for solar powered air co though, I'm interested in that, as its the only 'luxury" I go without, tho I do have good air flow and ceiling fans.

You do realise the feed in tarrif is different in every state, and depends on when you got in.

A 1.5kw system with a 68c gross feed in tarrif can make money in a house which uses gas for heating/cooking.

People do tend to exaggerate their 'success' with solar power.  Unless he's bought a very large system, and has very low consumption (and lives alone) I can guarantee he'd have got a bill, at least during winter.

You prove you have no idea every time you press the post button.
My brother in law, is making more power than he uses,and thanks to the generous scheme from NSW Labor, actually earns money as well as receives free power, only numnuts with no idea about solar or the scheme would write such crap.


And if he makes more power than he uses through winter he must have a very large system, and have low consumption, just like I said.  

It's possible, but more likely is that you, him or both are liars.  

As I said, you prove you have no idea every post you make, I love a fool that is an expert about something he knows nothing about, the fact I live off solar and you know nothing about it is very evident every time you place your foot in your mouth.



No, the problem is that I know enough to call you out on your lies.  You know this, which is why you simply give a broad-brush 'you don't know what you're talking about' instead of pointing out where or why I'm wrong.  

You're wrong on so many counts I dont know where to begin.
I 'live on 2 kw of power, I do not get  rebates as my Brother in law as I've had mine for 9 years now. My brother in law has a 4kw system, with massive rebates ,selling back to the grid due to the NSW govs very generous scheme, now what do you need to know Einstein,as every time you post you just make a bigger idiot of yourself than the last.
You're wrong because you dont understand how solar works, you proved that with your statement about winter, I often get more power in winter than summer, in the sub tropics it rains in summer and often is over cast, while we still get power when its over cast it is often less than I can get in the middle of July,even tho the daylight hours are less.I didn't bother going into when you proved you are speaking through your ass, if you can use your head and listen I can help you, if not buzz off and dont waste my time.
What else you want to know?



So he's got a large system - why didn't you just say that instead of going off like a cut snake?


I would have thought his system was pretty average now, most of the adds I see are for 3 or 4 KW systems.  I saw an add last week for a 3 KW system for 5 grand after rebates.


Do you know how many panels would your brother in law have with his 4Kw system Skip?
I've noticed up here in NQ many homes have a 12 or a 14 panel set up.

You do realise the feed in tarrif is different in every state, and depends on when you got in.

A 1.5kw system with a 68c gross feed in tarrif can make money in a house which uses gas for heating/cooking.

Yea I would think if you got in early enough in NSW a 1.5 kw system that has gas heating/cooking would at least counteract your bills with the 68cent feed in tariff.

Yep, I was gonna get a bigger system as I had a electric hot water system, but worked out that it'd be better value to spend the same amount of coin on solar hot water and a smaller system, as they reckon 1/4 - 1/3 of your power use is from hot water.  Still got an electric oven though....

They are for me, I haven't had a power bill for nine years.

All nicely subsidised by the Australian taxpayer; solar power is a very expensive freebie indeed, especially for those who are too poor to afford it, as they are paying extra for those that can.

I do love how lefties hate anyone being subsidied for anything, unless it is themselves of course.  Grin


Yep ,subsidised just like private health funds, that Howard introduced. In fact when I got my solar it was subsidised too, by HOWARD.
Most companies offer interest free loans for solar, and its not just the well off that can afford it, from my observations its the whiny little rightards that have not been successful in life that whine the loudest.



Unless they're 'well off' enough to own their home, it doesn't matter whetehr they can afford the panels or not.  Nobody is going to put solar panels on a rental.

But why should I care - I already gots mine

Are you claiming you need to be 'well off' to have a mortgage now??
I live on the far north coast of NSW, near Byron, and yes prices are a bit pricey around here, but 30 minutes in land is the largest city on the far north coast,and you can buy a house there for 200 hundred grand, hardly expensive.



Depends how you define 'well-off'.  I'd put 'well off' as midway between 'battlers' and 'wealthy'.

So you don't need to be well off to have a mortgage do you?? even western Sydney would be affordable for most people, its just a whole to live in.



Yes, most do need to be well off to have a mortgage AND have the spare cash for a solar set up.  I might remind you that while house prices might be cheap in woopwoop, most people live in capital or major cities, where they're not so cheap.

Are you really so petty as to make an argument out of this?

I thought western Sydney was in a capital city, please explain??? look at the prices around Cambeltown and Green valley, then get back to us, I bet a mortgage would be comparable to rent in many of those places.


I live in Perth so I don't know, or care, about house prices in some suburbs of Sydney.  There's usually a reason why prices are much cheaper in one area than another.


Well yes there is a reason.....In the case of Western Sydney, it's mostly because there's very little work close by, and people who can afford higher prices don't want to have to drive over 3 hours each way to work...So, if you want to sell your house, you have to price cheap enough to attract buyers..
