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.

What kind of roofing material is that and how well is the roof insulated ?

I assume the black panels on the left are solar thermal.

The roofing is standard Colorbond corrugated steel in light green.
http://www.colorbond.com/

There is only a layer of aluminium coated foil directly underneath the sheeting
and the ceiling surface is insulated with a mix of R4 polyester batts and loose
fill cellulose fibre.
http://www.insulfibre.com.au/products_cell.htm
I am gradually removing the loose fill stuff and replacing it with polyester
batts because it is a bugger when the ceiling needs repairs. Since the plaster
ceiling panels are attached to the ceiling rafters using adhesive, over time -
through shrinkage etc, some of the adhesive dobs become detached from the
plasterboard and it begins to sag. The loose fill cellulose then takes up the
space between the plasterboard and the rafter and proceeds to pack even tighter
forcing the ceiling to sag even more. To re-attach the plasterboard the loose
fill must first be completely removed and blown out from the gap before
re-gluing.

For those thinking of loose fill cellulose insulation with timber rafters and
Gyprock ceiling material http://www.gyprock.com.au/ I would recommend against
it. If you do want to use cellulose make sure it is already sealed in bags.

They must fart more down under - just look at the state of their ozone

I blame it all on Phil. He torments those poor little O2 molecules,
until they reforms into O3 molecules.

I thought damage to the ozone layer was a LACK of O3.

Ozone is O2. Down here at sea level, it cannot exist. Up there, the
loosely bound pair can. Unless a nasty Chlorine molecule wanders near.
It can break several Ozone molecules apart, negating their function.

We need Chlorine scrubbers up there.

Sure. Its all hanging around Phil, in an attempt to bleach away his
defects. We all know how well that works, don't we?
