It's quite alarming that they can expel you from the scheme due to an error with the retailer, despite all paperwork being lodged and confirmed as received and processed. Does your spreadsheet still exist?
Not as it was, and with respect I would not provide it anyway, sorry
Now the current iteration has changed suit now, I don't use it as sales tool never have, I always believed and still do that real value in a PV system is in the saving that can be achieved by having the system, the SFIT(< I'm on this one), PFIT, TFIT were bonuses since they were offered it makes sense to claim them. I chose the SFIT at the time because there was almost no size limit well 100kw's.
Now I believe the real value is in hybrid, I promote this because it offers savings, it does take time to get the full ROI out of it but with a FIT of just .08c or even no FIT you can still make it pay it's own cost overtime not to mention essentially no blackouts, battery bank/pack size dependent.
Got to be worth considering and can be retro-fitted to any domestic and most commercial electrical systems with or without a renewable energy system. I know this because I not only install/design them I also live on a decent sized system as well. and run 2 houses from it.
No it's not cheap to do, good solutions never are unfortunately.
