Good morning @TAB good luck with your quotes. I went with Hello Solar when I got mine installed. mercury goes direct in a couple of days. Not great for signing contracts or big purchases until its out of retrograde phase. Didn't sleep well last night. Not feeling the best today. Did inner void meditation this morning and am about to do my chakras/luminescent.body detox. Got lawnmower man coming by today.

@TAB Solar Victoria had a list of approved contractors you could select from. I am familiar with them using satellite pictures of roofs, they did that with me. You could possibly ring your electricity provider and just ask about what steps to take with going with solar. Thats what I did. They told me to go to Solar Victoria's webpage - its a government page that offers subsidies to people wanting to switch. Don't want to scare you but there have been horror stories in years gone by with solar installations - my electricity provider told me this, they may be better able to inform you than me. You don't want to have an expensive outlay with something that is a dud

@TAB Yes I know youre in SA I think we unearthed some kind of subsidy in your area a year ago. It works differently here but you may still be eligible for some kind of discount, subsidy or loan repayment through the government.

You'll work it out. Yes it can be stressful sorting out options and making the right choice. I'm happy with my investment @TAB. Just keep putting your feelers out there and you will be guided to make the best purchasing decision
