A lifetime dream realised - rooftop solar!

Ever since moving here to Australia, I have dreamed of having solar panels for our home. We finally made that a reality this past month! I had studied the "greenhouse effect" at university back in the early 1980's so this dream has taken a long time to manifest! It will help to offset our carbon emissions though we already support Enova by purchasing "green energy" for our remaining electricity use. Someday I would like to buy batteries to further utilise the solar we produce.
