From the Team 

One of our active members, Wayne, has recently installed a 12-panel solar system on his roof.

"There are 12 200watt Kyocera panels giving us a 2.5kw system. It produces 10-12kwh per day. The panels are positioned on the western side of our roof on frames facing 30 degrees (11 panels, & one above the solar hot water tubes) to the north. Integral Energy have installed a credit meter which will now allow us to be in credit (hopefully) for all our electricity usage."
