No install cost - battery solar system
Hi, a few people have been asking me about my solar battery setup which kicked in during the flooding blackout, and I was able to run the fridge, have internet and charge phones etc.
There is no install costs and they worked out what size I needed based on power bills, and monthly it costs a little under what we normally were paying on a reasonable power company. They own the gear, they replace anything as necessary over time too. It is a 20 year contract and promise what you do use from the grid will never increase in price over that time. If you sell you can include it in your sell price and pay it back, or transfer the contract to the new owner.
If you are serious and want to have a nosey you can organise it through them, and this link is a referal that will flick a little cash my way. It'll assist me chop down my horrendously large Old man pine that requires a crane to assist, which is crazy expensive. Also they use a local reputable Electrical business to do the install.

Further important update to all Neighbourly members
Dear Neighbours,
We wanted to update you with what we have uncovered in regards to the potential Neighbourly data breach which we were alerted to on Thursday January 1.
Over the past few days we have worked to understand whether our members’ data had been accessed without authorisation and, if so, the extent of the breach.
We have now confirmed that there was a breach of some data from our registered users. We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services.
Our investigations have shown that there was unauthorised access of Neighbourly data, which included our registered members’ names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, forum posts and member communications. It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included.
Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material.
We want to apologise to our members for this occurrence and any concerns it may have caused you over the past few days. We have, of course, addressed the issue that allowed the theft to occur, and we are satisfied that the site is secure for use by all of our members. We will work closely with all our staff to ensure we have the most robust processes in place to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you to our members who contacted us over this period and for the understanding you have shown as we work through the complex issues associated with cyber theft.
