Make Sunshine Your Friend

Since installing Solar PV panels on the roof of his house, Stan Doak is now SELLING electricity to his power supplier, AGL. He is being paid almost 3 TIMES as much for his solar electricity than what AGL charges him and everyone else for COAL powered electricity.

While the coal-fired power stations are polluting our planet, Stan Doak is helping to save the planet for all of us.

Stan's solar generator began as early as 5.45am and switched off at 5.30pm during September. He daily sent between 20 and 25 kWhrs out to the grid in reasonable weather and about 10 kWhrs a day in "crappy weather". He is now paid 44 cents for EACH kWh he sends out to the grid, compared to just under the 15 cents that he used to be charged by AGL for using power supplied by the grid.

Stan also received $8,000 from the Federal Government's Solar Homes and Communities Plan. This is a grant that encourages the installation of solar panels on residential and community buildings.

"These Suntech solar panels are really low light sensitive," says Stan, "I can't understand why everyone doesn't get solar panels on their roof to help save the planet, AND reduce their electricity bill."

Stan realised it was especially important to install his panels now as electricity prices are tipped to increase by 150% over the next few years.
