Another solar upate. (First complete PV statement)

Well, after the hoo-hah of getting the first quarterly statement after getting the PV system installed back in Feb (which we received finally back in July) we've finally received our first quarterly statement post-PV install.

The statement from July was not too comforting. The PV system went in mid-Feb, but the statement was from end of December to end of June and came to over $250 owing. This was 2 months pre-PV, plus a bit heavy on the Tariff 33 due to me not checking the timer setting on the new pool filter hookup. It turned out it was running for about 10 hours a day for about 2.5 months when it should have started at around 8, and dropped to 4 for winter. My bad.

In any case, the pool timer was sorted out and we received the statement for June-Sept with a pleasing $56 credit! Not too bad considering that was the tail end of winter, and quite a bit of overcast skies. I can hardly wait until December as the summer months start to really get that PV output going.
