Any surplus isn't wasted as it goes to power your neighbours and offset their grid demand. For a lot of people they see that as "wasted" but it's not.

 

As you've already bought the panels but not using them, then that is wasted money/resource.

Absolutely. Just because somebody else benefits, doesn't mean you are losing anything.

Theres another benefit to starting now, even if you initially see minimal gain. It chips away at a bigger project, getting you closer to the goal. Once this is up and running, your list of things to do will be less daunting and more approachable. Plus theres always the chance that once the inverter is generating it provides you the data to justify more upgrades.
