When first enquiring about solar power I was skeptical. Very skeptical. After talking to others - I was pretty much convinced it was a pie in the sky idea for alternative 'hippies'.

Looking at buying a property where electricity was very expensive to connect (ie Au$50,000) I was determined to find out for myself. I started doing research & then bought some secondhand panels out of the paper. Then some batteries & an inverter and finally a brand new PL regulator.

My total investment was about Au$3000 and after wiring it all up on my shed roof I plugged in as many appliances as I could. It was very make-shift - the panels basically flat on the roof, extension cords running everywhere. Items were untested & I had to learn as I went along. 

I also started to 'clean up' my electricty usage...light bulbs were replaced with flouros, computers were upgraded to laptops, tv & stereo were turned off when not used.

The benefits were immediate! My electricity bill went from $260 to $40! The $40 bill was during summer where we had a small pool filter running and an outdoor 250L Freezer. It was enough to show me that solar can work...

As a bit of an extremist and some with a new found passion for solar I started to re-sell solar & wind products. I also had a passion for helping people as I had recently discovered that Jesus wasn't an imaginary figure for religious fruit bats, but was indeed God & Created the world and me - and He cared! He saved me from a life of torment & pain & addictions & promised a share in Eternal Life! So now, as a committed Christian I doubly-loved the fact that I could help people save money, reduce environmental damage and utilize the energy sources Jesus put in place.

My next venture was a totally remote property we wanted to establish for rehab & retreats to help people out. We had to lay 4 kms of pipe & then pump water from a tank, had a satelite for internet, after 4 months installed a composting toilet & only had 6x GE110w panels to start with. It was tough living in the heat with no dunny in caravans with 3 young children - but the solar setup did very well. This system grew to:

• 6 x GE110w Solar Panels
• 6 x BP115w Solar Panels
• 12 Panel Solar Tracker
• 400w Air X Wind Turbine
• SE32 2400W Selectronic Inverter
• 12 x 2v 1000AH SunGel Batteries
• 50A 12/24v Charger
• 40A 24v Charger
• 9KVA Diesel Backup Generator
• Total Cost about $40,000 

This setup worked very well for us (My wife & I & 3 kids under 3 as well as occasional vistors) - very rarely needing to start the geny. We had electricity for a 210L Chest Freezer, 373L Fridge, Washing Machine, Laptops, elec rice cooker (I love curries!) & all my drilling & welding, and occasional microwave use, not to mention water supply for the 1/4 acre of vegies...the list goes on. We could also use the Aircon when hot too.

We are back in suburbia now & will work at installing solar at the rental house we are in without doing any damage.

Truth Wins Out!

Strange that humans are so entrenched in their own beliefs, even if they are wrong...I see this everywhere and I myself had to be open-minded to accept the truth wasn't in line with my own ideas.

I am thoroughly converted! In my experience & from my research - Solar / Wind technology can work very well. And Jesus Christ is the only one who can give life! Not only did we save $50,000 on connection to Western Power &had free electricity, but we discovered that our beliefs about life, death & spiritual things were wrong... Don't be ignorant - it can cost ou more than money but your very soul!

There's no turning back now!!
