Solar panels with Origin? (www.canstarblue.com.au)

I am currently doing some research on solar panel and have a good idea of the hardwares and what to balance

Regarding the tariff, looks like the highest is Origin at the time of writing. A catch is to buy their solar hardwares, which also seems to be a decent price

Any experience on origin and other providers? Any catches have you found?

I was a cheapskate and went with Sunboost. The interest free two year payment thinggie was good, and they didn't ark up because I'm self employed. Around $4k for a 5kW inverter, 6.6kW of panels. Currently with Red Energy. Made a battery thinggie using one of these and a few AGM batteries that were kicking about - charge during the day and use at night to run the plasma and HTPC etc.

Hi, hope you don't mind me asking. How much is the upfront cost and the monthly payment for the 2 year interest free plan? Do they have in-house financing or 3rd party? (eg Humm) Thanks

I can't remember exactly, it was quite small like a couple hundred dollars. I had to pay a little more as I have a flat roof, but it was marginal. Also my meter box is 20 metres from the house so had to pay to get that upgraded. Most people won't have that problem though.

Cool, thanks! How much is the monthly payment?
