Solarzero
Thanks. About a month ago I asked on various sites, if people had heard or knew anything about solaZero. It is a long-term rental agreement of a solar power setup, fully installed with nothing to pay apart from a $147.50 monthly bill for 20 years.
I did as much research as I could and failed to find fault with it. It gives me solar power with no huge outlay. I asked Scott to look at it as he will find any loopholes and he agreed it looked legit.
The cost to install this would be over $35K as it has a bank of Batteries that allow the system to operate during a power outage for Lights, TV, fridge, Freezer but not heaters air conditioners and the big power users.
On a cold winter day we will use the solar to start with then as the heaters come on we turn to the grid until it phases out again at night. At this time I pay the monthly rental plus power I used from the grid at whole sale prices
On a hot summer's day hardly any power will come from the grid and the unit sends power to the grid. Depending on how I manage all the various appliances at certain times, I could minimise grid and max solar power. That is the theory. 🙂
There was ONE snag that turned up, that was to do with me dying before the term was finished.
1) It can stay here and whoever buys the house takes over the lease, (that is what has happened where this has occurred)
2) Have it moved to Scott or Kylie's house at no cost, or
3) Buy out the remaining residual rental.
I made a totally selfish call and said "As, at that time, it will not affect me, I will look down, or up and watch how you handle it, probably laughing".
If you are interested in knowing more give me a call.
