Good video Chris, easy to follow and not full of technical jargon. I did similar research when looking to get my system installed. The one other bit of advice I would add is to look in your own neighbourhood at who else has solar, is their property in a similar orientation and consider knocking on their door to see how they're getting on. I did just that and to my surprise the chap was super friendly, and gave me a spreadsheet of his data for the last several years.

Thanks! Totally agree with the 'speak with your neighbour' approach ... My experience has also been that most people with solar are enthusiastic to share their experience and knowledge, though no-one offered me a spreadsheet... 🤣 Have probably given 5 or 6 tours of our setup in the last few months, but so far only one person has had solar installed (that I know of). Must try harder 😂. Cheers, Chris
