So ripping off homeowners and such a blow to renewable energies in Australia!!Mrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275981827041794709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914997492706490725.post-35262552412650602622012-10-17T07:11:53.398+11:002012-10-17T07:11:53.398+11:00Great work Mr & Mrs B.

I was fortunate to get locked into a 66c/kWh tariff when the Vic Labor gov was in power. It is now down to 8c/kWh which is really ripping off homeowners and lining the pockets of Big energy retailers.<br /><br />GavAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995214671079288985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914997492706490725.post-80674636138406365162012-10-16T21:39:54.333+11:002012-10-16T21:39:54.333+11:00Hi Tricia,
From Mr B:
Thanks for the compliments...Hi Tricia,<br /><br />From Mr B:<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments :-)<br /><br />Compared with equivalent quality ground mount frames (compliant to 140km/h winds etc) the trackers are generally about $1000 extra per 2kW. This of course depends on the frame, but a quality frame and foundation is essential. <br /><br />These trackers only follow the sun by moving east to west.

We'll be installing...LOVE your solar tracker. <br /><br />We'll be installing solar panels on the ground (rather than roof) at our little farm - because our house will likely be small and we have plenty of paddock space. <br /><br />I'm planing to price fixed vs tracking. Do you (or Mr B) know whether its worthwhile getting tracking panels even if we have plenty of full sun paddock space? Is tracking triciahttp://www.littleecofootprints.com/noreply@blogger.com
