- Brendan and Alice came to one of our presentations, and obviously learned a lot. They learned about DC optimizer inverter technology. And before they thought, well, they wouldn't have the option of putting solar on their house because they'd been given advice that it wasn't viable for them because of shade. Realistically, they don't actually have that much shade, but it travels across the roof at different times of the day in different times of the year. And so when they heard about this optimised inverter technology, they're like, Right, Maybe we can install solar. And in fact they can. They've managed to get their bill down from about $1,200 per quarter, down to a credit each quarter, and they've done that by installing really high performance panels and inverter technology, and that's doable. Like, you can get around the shade issue if you have the right technology.

- Use of micro inverters is important so each panel can operate independently of one another. So, if there's any shade on aspects of the array or the panels, it's not going to impact the rest of them.

- The client wanted the best that was available, and they also had a big bill and limited roof space. Like they've actually got lots of roof space, but where they wanted to place the panels meant that they could only have so many panels. So, obviously if you want to achieve a given system size, you need more efficient panels. And that's why they went for the best.
