Enphase have not got close to the cost reduction targets they set a couple of years ago.
Enphase is an American company that sells microinverters. These are small, fun sized versions of the larger string inverters most solar homes use. They work with individual panels and are either bolted beneath them or, in the case of AC panels, come already attached. [Read more…]
Ronald’s crystal ball says: “The future may bring lower feed in tariffs if wholesale electricity prices tumble.”
Increasing renewables will reduce wholesale electricity prices. Unfortunately that means feed in tariffs will probably fall too.
Solar feed-in tariffs – the payment households receive for surplus solar electricity they send into the grid – are likely to fall within the next three years along with wholesale electricity prices.
The bad news: a fall in both feed-in tariffs and grid electricity prices will reduce the returns from rooftop solar. [Read more…]
Is solar blockchain going to revolutionise the way we buy energy? Or is it a load of overhyped bollocks?
Blockchain is a revolutionary new technology with the revolutionary ability to revolutionize our lives.
Solar Feed-In Tariffs Should Be Higher Than They Are — But Not As High As Some Believe
In my not at all humble opinion, Australian solar feed-in tariffs are too damn low! People aren’t receiving a fair deal for the clean solar energy they export to the grid. This is bad for our nation and the world because with a fairer price we would see more rooftop solar installed which would reduce the damage to our health and our environment from burning fossil fuels.
But before I am voted leader of the revolution for higher feed-in tariffs and march my armies on Canberra — or maybe somewhere that’s actually nice to go — I should point out that, unlike some people, I don’t think solar feed-in tariffs should equal the retail cost of electricity. While feed-in tariffs should be higher than they are now, a “fair” price is likely to still be less than what most of us are are normally charged for grid electricity.
As a result, this article will probably end up a successful attempt at making the maximum number of people possible disagree with me. [Read more…]
Samsung has decided to let their partner, Hansol Technics, take over their residential battery storage systems. However, the rebranding probably wasn’t done by someone cosplaying as Bob Ross.
There are now over 200 Samsung AIO battery systems installed in Australia, providing battery power to households both on-grid and off. Their manufacturer, Samsung, is a giant, South Korean based, multinational conglomerate and if you’d like snag yourself a brand new AIO battery system from them, that’s terribly unfortunate, because you can’t have one.
Quite Possibly The Largest Monosilicon Solar Panel Producer In The World…
Longi Solar is a Chinese company that has accumulated solar panel production capacity at a prodigious pace.
Also, they’ve grown really fast. [Read more…]
The Greens and the Libs agree on one thing at least: that storage should be subsidised. But should it?
The mainstream media has been full of news about energy storage over the last few months. [Read more…]
I’m getting reports that some electricity retailers are refusing to honour the full feed-in-tariff. In my opinion, that is theft.

CEC are concerned with the reliability of solar panels entering Australia, and are taking steps to address it.
On Thursday I attended the All Energy Conference and saw a presentation by Sandy Pulsford of the Clean Energy Council on solar panel quality. The gloomy skies above Melbourne that day well matched the bad news he gave about the quality of some solar panels in Australia. [Read more…]
