Solar Stuff

Yay!  Four sales came through today.  Now, that may not seem like a great many, but when your product sells for between $3,000 and $50,000, that is plenty.  Only one more this week and I can start getting some commission!

It would be an interesting study to see how much electricity the nation of Australia is saving by using Solahart hot water systems.  Without a doubt it would have to be plenty!  Solar energy must be one of the fastest growing industries in Australia right now- it sure helps having a Government throwing money at it to speed it along.  Probably won't last long, what with a new Government likely later this year (I hope!)

If I owned my own home, and had the capital, I would install a grid-connect solar power system.  The power company pays you $0.44 per kW hour you export, then you buy it back for just $0.2135 per kW hour- how can you beat that?!!  Spend enough on a PV system and you'll never have to work again!

Anyway, I got my new iPhone 4 today.  First iPhone I've had, so will write about it later.

New Ambitions

Without change, things will stagnate. There have been many changes in my life lately, both great big ones, and little tiny ones. The greatest of all these changes, and something that many people will never experience, has been changing the country in which I live.

There is so much more involved with moving to a new country than just getting on the 'plane. I mean, when you look at the situation carefully, you will find that it is your entire life that changes. Yes, you have a new house. But beyond that, you must realize that that is not all. For me, I have had to start all over again. Yes, I still have my same clothing (some of it anyway), and yes, I still have some of the same belongings- I still have my family, but nothing else is the same.

I have a new job. I sell and install solar hot water systems, along with grid connected solar power systems. My new boss would have to be the best employer I have ever worked for! That is saying something, as I have had about 10 different employers since starting my working life just twelve years ago. I also have a new car. It's a heap of junk FORD Falcon, starting to die, to small for my family, and just rubbish- but I could afford to buy it for cash, so it is filling a need.

Almost everything about my life is now different than it was just six months ago. I have a new life, and I am looking forward to the changes and challenges of the future. As I journey along this new pathway, please join me from time to time as I share the sights and sounds, the ups and downs, and the dreams and ambitions that flood my life.

Thanks for stopping by
