A private
power pole was installed in the eastern corner of our front yard today.
An electrical supply cable from the adjacent mains power pole will connect to
our private power pole. That electrical supply cable will then travel
down the interior of the private power pole and will connect underground
directly to the new home.
In
addition to the mains electricity power supply we are planning on installing
rooftop photovoltaic solar panels, sufficient enough to be able to generate
about 5kW of our own solar energy. That's going to be about 20 rooftop
solar panels. The rooftop solar panels will be installed post
construction at our own expense. The excess electricity that we’ve
generated will then be fed back into the power grid. We're really impressed with a great Aussie
company called, Energy Matters (their
website address is: www.energymatters.com.au). We’ll be sourcing German-made solar panels and
Austrian-made inverters for a very reasonable cost through Energy Matters. More on that later.
McDonald Jones Homes will be
including and installing a gas-boosted Solar Hot Water System during construction
for us (our option and an additional cost).
There’s no photos today. I couldn’t see the sense in getting a photo
of a steel pole.
