As the flyer says, with the recent electricity price increases, it may be time to time to think about a battery to complement your solar system. We have rooftop solar that has contributed less to our bill over the last few years as the feed-in tariffs have decreased. Was wondering if anyone has gone ahead with a battery installation? Considering it? Installed but regret it?
Is this a one off, or is there a catch? Are they getting the remaining tarrif? If so, it's obviously worth more than you think. They're making money. We need to think, how are they making the money? Is it worth me losing X in the future to gain now?
The discount is from the Victorian gov. The letters will say that the offer expires, but that is just high pressure sales bullshit. You can get the same deals from other battery installers.
