It looks like I will receive a return of well over 20%, I just wish I had room to add more!" Phil Stokes. - Phil Stokes came to Eclipse Solar in December 2010, looking for a solution to maximize his commercial roof space. Phil's Grid connected system consists of 44 x 230 Watt REC Peak Energy Panels and was installed in June 2011. With a system size totaling 10.12 Kw and an annual generation capacity of over 10MW, the system will over it's 25 year expected life produce approx. 250 MW of clean electricity and reduce carbon emissions by 150 tons. Phil is extremely happy with his Solar system receiving two cheques to date from AGL, the first one being for $3050 and the second $2600 reflecting the first two quarters of the system being connected to the grid and showing a strong return on investment of over 20%. Phil has since recommended REC panels to his father who has installed a 5Kw system and a number of friends and families. http://eclipsesolar.com.au/newsletter/news/eclipse-solar-case-study-Phil-Stokes.php http://eclipsesolar.com.au/newsletter/news/Common-Mistakes-with-Solar-industry-Social-networking.php I often talk to my clients about help with marketing strategy and ramping up their solar social media, and often hear people say "We've tried it," and that "It doesn't work."
