Re: Poor Feed-in

Hi LesterYes, it's amazing what we learn after the fact. I guess many of us don'tinvestigate enough before 'investing' nor look at the nature strip treeswhich tower over the house and blow twigs (up to a metre +) and leaves overmy garden, verandah, gutters and across into my back yard in spite of thembeing 2m high saplings in December 2019 when we bought the property.I took notice of my electrician friend who was getting his panels from theparticular local company so I trusted him.

This was for 7th March to 4th June so a bit of a mix of temperatures. During March I sold roughly $4 per week and last week of the invoice (29/5-4/6) only 54c.I previously had gas hot water and cooking and the bill ...
