King Hazza,

I was specifically talking about home installations.

A 1 sqm 130W panel is about $1000 excl delivery, installation, inverters, etc. For 1kW you need 8 plus the grid connection inverter which will take you to $11 000 before you even start to install.

My costing still stands. By the rubbish you post, I would guess that either you have not installed solar power, or have no idea how little it contributes.

Do a cost benefit analysis, you might surprise yourself.

My family are actually in the process of doing a cost-benefit analysis for solar installation. Our electricity bill is over a thousand bucks every couple of months and rising- despite our rather modest (and shrinking) use of electricity. Initial estimates suggest we may pay off the cost of energy in only a couple of years in cut bills.

But I will get back to you on that, all the same.
