Getting paid for solar credit

Today I phoned my electricity supplier, Origin, and asked them to pay me the credit due for the clean energy I’ve been selling them.

 

“Sure thing,” the Origin rep said on the phone, “Would you like that by cheque?”

 

“Yes”, I said.

 

“You should receive that in ten days.  Will there be anything else?”, she said.

 

So.  How about that?

 

When I put the system in in October 1996, some 15 years ago, the first in NSW, there was not much happening in the world of renewable energy.  Now I can get paid for making some.

 

And the amount due?

 

$452.

 

And so it goes,
