Australia’s rooftop solar sector is continuing its big year of installations – been without premium tariffs – and is heading towards one gigawatt of new capacity over 2017.
This has had an impact on the availability of STCs (small scale technology certificates) causing some price volatility and caught out some consumers and installers. And in a significant move, the regulator is also cracking down on “rorting” within the system, particularly in the way some systems are replaced.
Join Giles Parkinson and Nigel Morris on the latest Solar Insiders podcast, as we also reflect on the pilgrimage to Elon Musk’s big battery in South Australia, supply issues in the solar module market, and uninvited offers through the post.
