Photovoltaic power

PE

In Australia we have a subsidy of over half of the cost of a complete installation up to 1.5kW

I read in "innovation" that Whitfield Solar has sold several Photovoltaic power systems in Australia.

May I point out we have a subsidy in Australia of over half of the cost of a complete installation up to 1.5kW. And many households are taking up the offer.

I would like to make a long term prediction concerning "off peak" power.

When for example Western Australia has 500MW installed solar power, we will have to re-think "off peak" tariffs. Well, "off peak" will be during the day!
