These solar companies have put their prices up a lot over the last few years, making the subsidy a bit of a joke. I think at the moment you only get about $500, which is a very small percentage, compared to the cost of setting it up. |

| 653821 | 2008-04-01 02:32:00 | If we were all to install them,what percentage would we save (electricity)1% 5% or what. The average use of electricity for waterheating in the domestic sector in the South Island is ~40% I know of a new house that manages OK on the glass transfer tube system all year, as long as there is only the two occupants. Power is needed to suppliment when the family stays. However a second panel would fix that. |

They are actually a lot more expensive now than they were 10 years ago, despite the fact that a lot more people are installing them, even taking into account inflation. |

In view of that is how game is played,gov takes dosh then doles out as they see fit. Saving 2 power stations adds up for me. There would have to be some forensic auditing,keep people honest,unfortunately we tend to get greedy when chance arises. |
