Solar Hot Water System for $4500


One of the greater consumer rip offs and government supported 'scams' is the sale of solar energy in the southern states of Australia.

The industry uses the figures of solar panels electricity generation measured at 25 degrees Celsius at the equator in summer at noon.

In a recent advertisement in a 'smart' home publication, the recommended retail price for a solar hot water service is valued at $4,500.

In another recent article from the heraldsun.com.au, it was revealed that the energy efficiency of such an installation at the more southern states of Australia, Victoria and Tasmania is only 50-60% efficient, on top of an only 16% efficency coversion rate of solar to electricity of Photo Voltaic cells.

Governments and corporations alike, are deliberately 'misinforming' or rather not informing the general public on the real facts of solar electricity prior to the consumer's purchase.
