Solar Grid Connect 1kw Questions

Q: Solar Grid Connect 1kW questions Why does making a valid observation imply that he doesn't have a life? Isn't that how our system works? My point was that the government hands out money to various businesses for dubious reasons and I've noticed a distinct lack of protest about that.

A: Section 10 of this ELECTRICITY FEED-IN (RENEWABLE ENERGY PREMIUM) ACT 2008 allows the Minister to make a determination of what the premium tariff will be for the following financial year, so they can adjust the tariff once a year as they think fit. The premium of 3.88 is only set for the 1st year. As this Act is supposedly modelled on the German scheme in which the tariff is progressivley reduced over the lifetime of the scheme Id expect the same would happen here. (1) The premium rate for the financial year in which a renewable energy generator is connected to a distributor's network applies, if the generator remains connected to the network, in relation to electricity generated by the generator during the 20 years after the date of the connection. Id love to know how Greenpeace thinks we are going to make iron and steel and concrete without emitting CO2. Many industries in Australia are subsidised in some way. The aluminium industry is one of the biggest. But without Aluminium you cant make solar cells,so you wont hear much from Greenpeace about Aluminium. Most of the excise and rebates for off road vehicles goes to farm machiinery which is used to grow food and to the trucking and rail industries which deliver the food to the shops, and to the ports from where we export it. I guess Greenpeace would like us all to starve. Your 1KW solar panel still costs you in the region of $4000, after rebates. That buys a very nice generator indeed. Further, the fuel costs are pretty much irrelevant, because if you're only using it during power outages, it uses very little fuel. In addition, you'd be protected against outages in the evening, when your solar panels are just a load on your roof structure. Naah, a couple of deep discharge batteries will cover the needed/ essential stuff that the LPG systems don't already cover (cooking, heating and lighting). Camping gear is very useful in this regard.
