Can I install solar panels and disconnect totally from the grid?

It is not feasible to build this system, if you are in a grid-connected area. The cost for batteries and other components would be far too expensive. Having a connection to the grid also means you can ‘export’ your excess solar electricity.If you live in a remote area, you can install a Solar Power system and claim a cashback under the Solar Credits Scheme. This is a new rebate program, see the next page for more information.
