me bills are about $15 a month

Damn how do you get this? My supply charges alone are over $35 per month.

@Zagorath @australia I just got a bill for $0, with $88 in credit towards the next bill. Solar + battery is great :)

Wow that's very cool! I don't have any solar at the moment, but I'll be moving in to a place with solar + battery in a few months, so that's very exciting to hear.

@Zagorath The best thing is if someone else paid for it to be installed :) We have spent over $20000, although the savings are pretty amazing. The battery is really the game changer, at least here in Brisbane

You might be able to shop around a bit as supply charges tend to vary (although some of it is tied to the underlying network) and of course feed in tariffs (although they are not massive in most states).
