Solar Insiders Podcast May 20

May 23, 2018 by Giles Parkinson and Nigel Morris Leave a Comment

Andrew McCarthy, the founder of Gippsland Solar, has learned a lot since he established his business in the heart of the Latrobe Valley, the centre of Victoria’s brown coal generation industry.
In this episode of Solar Insiders, McCarthy shares his fascinating insight into the transition that is occurring in the Latrobe Valley, and the importance of laying down a future for a work-force about to experience a generational shift.
Also in this week’s program:
Are networks playing fair in competition with solar installers?
Is the pricing for Mackay Council’s recent solar tender for real?
And Nigel Morris tumbles across some electricity history on his way to work.
