Bob,

The left hand panels are for solar water heating. The storage tank is on the
other side of the gable so it isn't visible from the front of the house.
Re cost - see my reply to David Jones in aus.electronics newsgroup.

At the moment the position re credits in WA is as shown on this page
http://www.synergy.net.au/Residentia...y_Buyback.html
but it is not yet clear whether the current government will swing into line with
either Queensland or ACT where they pay for gross production at 3.88 times the
residential selling price I believe.
