the 1kw pv system on my mother inlaws will be fully paid back within 12 months maybe 9 if they hurry up with upping the feedback from 23.5 to 66 cents . Our 5 kw system (1kw private use 4kw business ) will have the private portion paid off by next june and the business in about 5 years .The first 12 months were on 23.5 cents feed back but since december on 66 cents . Since put in we have bought 50000kwh ,produced 12000kwhs of which 4800kwhs were fed back . our system cost $36000 and could now be done for between $18 and 19 thousand . paybacks would only be a few years . Metering and connection to the grid now cost $212 pa then you add power ! Smart meters will also increase consumption costs as peak will increase greatly in price
