I’m in NSW and have total tree cover over my house, which is awesome for the shade and birds etc. I’d still like solar panels and thinking about some kind of rig in the bottom of the garden where the trees end. It’s a north facing slope so I’d get the sun pretty good. I’m investigating planning rules because I don’t know if the usual stuff about boundary set-backs and height limits count for solar panels. My neighbour will cop an eyeful of it instead of just vegetarian but I don’t care.
Bastard tortures me with the sound of his grandkids in his pool in the middle of summer. We just swelter.
My inlaws are similar, they have a system that uses a bunch of micro-inverters. More exxy, but they get good pull. Enough to run their house + heat pump + tesla battery
TBH we can’t afford the set up but at least now I know (got sent a NSW gov link) that it’s exempt development if it’s <150m2, <5m above existing GL, and >3m to boundary. A few more items but those are the big ones.
