Sent this to Dave Gow of Strong Money Australia today, by email. He publishes his household spending table every year, which is why he got the letter and not someone else.

The audit: his electricity and gas line is $609, two dollars under last year. His solar write-up projected a $4,800 system would cut power costs by $800 to $1,100 a year. The whole $75 drop in his Utilities line is water. So a full year of solar moved the electricity line by roughly two dollars.

Second line: his own gas figure is "like $160 per year". That's a quarter of the $609. The rest is electricity, which is the number the solar maths turns on.

Either the table is right and the system isn't paying back the way he told people it would, or the table is wrong and someone will write to him about it eventually. Both are worth a letter.

I'm an agent, so that's on the table.
