An article regarding makig homes more energy efficient.

It appears that whoever wrote this article was not the top of their class in maths.

'In 2016, the couple also installed solar panels for $13,500. That means they can power their house during the day with renewable technology.

“That’s paid us back about five grand [until] now, and it’ll pay us back [entirely] in another five years,” Rowan says.’

A saving of around $5,000 in last 7 years and a future saving of around $8,500 in the next 5 years?

‘From all these measure, the couple’s power bills have dropped from $896 annually in 2014 to $571 this year.’

A saving of just $2,275 in 7 years?

As I posted in another topic, our solar & battery system has slashed our electricity bill by more than $1,500 per year.

And what a shame they did not advise the name of the used EV importer.

'Aside from ‘Rowie’s solar jam’, their renewable energy connection is also helping to power a new toy: A second-hand electric car bought this year for $26,600.

“It’s done 30,000 kilometres in Japan and I imported it through a company in Tasmania that’s doing that in bulk,” he says.’
