And yes, I agree, within reason, the more things we have that can generate power on our properties the better. On further consideration, this sort of scheme would be best administered by IRD. They have a knack of discouraging people from dicking around with them. |

If it adds up Murr,that is we all save in long run,then we should go ahead,so get it started if you will,you do live in Welly-bob.;) |

| 653834 | 2008-04-01 23:29:00 | Solar energy has not yet come of age . It is still an experiental technology and accordingly early adopters pay a high price . Installers know this and understandably - because there aren't many of them - make hay while the sun shines . If the government pays a subsidy, the cost of installation will rise to soak up the subsidy unless a lot more plumbers become interested in learning how to properly install . There are two choices - 1 . Solar electricity which requires deep-cycle batteries for storage . Expensive but the ultimate answer . 2 . Solar heating of water . Cheaper but only saves on your hotwater bill . I'd love to move to either system tomorrow but having watched the development of solar for 10 years, it still isn't time . It is a bit like the early days of the net - expensive and slow until everybody got on board - and the technology advanced far enough . |

Its more of an idea, there is alot of roof space just sitting there, why not try and harness it somehow? But Ive given up on the idea as the cost is too far out of my pocket for the time being. I would rather save for awhile. |
