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.

Deeply disappointed guys. You know a lot of government types listen to tbis and you totally downplay the dire situation in VIC. Installers are literally going broke.
Thank you for taking a sensible approach to the Victorian scheme. I have been shocked at how precious some opponents have been to a good scheme that simply requires a bit of fine tuning at the top end of qualifying.
By it's very nature of dip feeding into the industry, it's aim is to even out demand for both equipment and installers. It's based on sound business principles and I suspect the negative material is coming from talking heads rather than real solar businesses. Those at the customer facing end are generating more business and grateful for stimulus that should ease down storage costs over time.
