Got one of those in 1995 and thought it was the sh*t. Spent hours on it as a teenager. Conference call ftw!

Tell that to my post hole digger. Went to dig holes on the weekend and apparently 12 month old 2 stroke is no good... A fresh batch fixed it up though.

Mine was very hit and miss... It's down to 300w now but had made 31.65kWh by 6pm.

Well the forecast was 19c and cloudy but we still made about 32kWh. There was a couple of breaks in the weather where the inverter was maxxed out, so that helped a bit. Cos it was just me and the toddler at home, about 26 got sent back to the grid. We would have used a bit too when we cooked dinner.

The fetch mini does everything the fetch mighty does, except record. You can hire and buy movies etc too. Have a sus if you haven't already. I've got the 4k netflix but a 1080p tv. I just got it so we can have a few people watching on different devices at once.

Get a fetch box. Once it has powered on from the wall, start times are super quick and netflix etc loads a million times quicker than a telly. You can get the cheap one for about $150 or the 1TB version for $450ish. Well worth it imo. My tv sucked massive donkey balls for ages trying to use netflix but those frustrations are gone with the fetch boxes.

I'll stick your mum in the eye!

Haha sounds like my boys a few weeks back when they had gastro. I literally had to explain to them to never trust a fart.

I'd give it a solid meh/10

So the missing kWh's and days appeared on the retailers website today. They are a day behind or something cos it isn't showing anything for yesterday yet. #winning

Yeah it is a fair outlay but one that could be worth it. Adding a battery to an already installed system doesn't have the same cost vs reward ratio as solar by itself, but the solar will pay the battery off too eventually and you immediately have all the benefits of a battery system. It wouldn't be worth trying to go completely off grid when a grid is available, but one power wall might be the go. Haha you can let us know in ten years or so! Also @.Stripes., I was just thinking about the export thing from before and I reckon that even though I wasn't on the solar plan, when they do a meter read it'll show the import/export data in the bill. We have new meters and they send it wirelessly so I think it'll just get sorted like that. I'm not sure but I'll find out soon enough anyway.

Have half a dozens kids mate, that'll fix the problem.

It just takes some time to receive and process the paperwork from the installers, before they can swap the plan from normal to solar. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they'll reimburse me.

Not really pissed off but the solar plan only just switched over, so the 70 odd kWh's I sent to the grid was for nothing. Meh it's only worth ten bucks or whatever but still the farkers would charge me nearly $30 for it.
