home solar panels

 Lookin into a solar power system for my house... Dont know a heap about it. Basically sick of pissing $400-$500 every 3-4 months. 

 

Anyone got one? How big is your system, and how much was it? Any companies recommended, any to avoid? I have heard your system is only as good as the inverter youre running.

 

Basically, I want to reduce my power bill down to nearly nothing. Not sure  what size system id need for that? Not really interested in feeding the grid/getting a rebate. Got a massive north facing roof for it too, so should work well.

when i was working back at home (gero town) the few house that are set up like yours have a reflective style sheet layed under the tiles to try and help with the temp control. but after a few years it goes to %^)!@..  Ive got a "shouse" (bach pad inside a shed) setup out in deepdale, and we covered the roof with aircell before putting the tin on.. WOW-- soo much difference between my shed and a buddies aorund the corner without it. I'd imagine tiles would soak up some more heat, as compared to colourbond reflecting it too ???
