Better than I get in Australia. FIT is only 6 cents per kWh here. I also get a smart meter with different time-of-day tarifs for the power I actually buy ranging from 6 cents for the hot water to 8 cents at night, 16 cents daytime before 2 pm and all weekends and a whopping 41 cents for 2pm to 8pm weekdays. _________________ G'Day cobber! |
