Solar Insiders Podcast: Killer whales and chasing solar rebates

July 10, 2019 by Giles Parkinson and Nigel Morris 2 Comments

The Solar Insiders podcast resumes after a holiday break, with a nature reminder of why we are in this business, and a question over what Victoria does next.

On our holidays we discovered areas which have 90 per cent solar penetration and tracking technology on a human scale. And we are reminded, while peering below the ocean surface at the marvels of coral gardens and the awe-inspiring whale sharks and killer whales, exactly why we want emissions free generation.

We also look at the Victoria rebate scheme, which sold out its July quota in just three days, and wonder if further improvements can be made. And we wrap up some of the latest news on solar around the world, and on electric vehicles.
