"If your selling it I hope your paying TAX on your income? You pay a fee for using the line to draw power to your house, are you paying us a line usage fee for transporting your goods on OUR wire system? I bet your not so it seems you are taking us for a ride!"

As a matter of fact.... YES!

Welcome to our new contributor, think OUG may not have the resources to install those panels,a great number will not have.
Wanted to post a link, went back looking for it this morning in a site in Canada, it was not their.
It spoke of Goggle and a partner investing about 28 million US.
The scheme installs home solar power,at no up front cost, and charges rental, at 10 percent less than your normal bill.
Not being a Green, but favoring true conservation, I favor stealing some of that scheme.
Federal or state government installs on your home as many panels as will fit,current average use not to be exceeded.
You pay no bills and extra power is property of provider used to reduce over all costs of power, for every one including business.

Belly I'd have serious concerns about any recent government (party irrelevant) owning assets installed on my roof. Too much history of not acting in good faith and too much power when it goes wrong.

If it's a financially viable scheme there might be opportunity for private companies to do something similar.

greenies quote...""we have reduced our electricity consumption"""

NO YOU DIDNT
you reduced the cost/price
of..ya bill ya dill..your CONsuming as much as ever
you havnt cut down the ammount YOU USED

and thats my point
belly has batteries

[meaning he isnt USING
ab-using COAL power at night

YOU ARE..!

your selling credits
but using the same power
you use coal..YOUR POLUTING TOO

yes you get a check...wow
but you*...*HAVNT REDUCED THAT YOU CONSUME
your consumption...plus your gumption...mate
your as guilty as the rst of us

oh belly my last bill was 50 bucks..TOTAL
fully on the grid..i even had to pay in that price
the FIXED ..'other charges'..[aserrvice to priopwerty..of 24 bucks

half my bill...just to acces..the line
those solar merchants of guilt neatly avoid by selling their total solar for 52 cents...while only paying for the coal power they consume too..!

even at 25 bucks a ton
i use less than one ton a year
you solar mugs ned read the rules CAREFULLY
your total energy use will earn a tax due...then on your petrol

i dont mind the price going up
as long as we are all paying..FOR ALL WE USE...*

watt for watt
how much c02,,,gas..does a ton of carbon[coal]...'emmit'
a heck of a lot of c02...i rekon it should be priced at 50 or a 100 bucks

and the only certainty re price
is every year it will go up

so the scam is get the deal in
then in time sneak up the price

others are being scammed greenie
live with that...

[your 500 bucks is equal to 30 pieces of silver]

its not the money
its the criminality of the lies

Robert I understand in truth expect a change in government, maybe in each of the next two federal elections and my concerns are about both.
However I did give it thought, my worry is simple funding the installation up front.
And that as more power was returned this way it decrease if possible costs.
As you know I worked both for and with government run things.
please NEVER EXPECT OTHER THAN FAILURE FROM THEM, management level NOT front line workers
Under contract and insured I care not who own sit on my roof just that it be used to cut costs

This link, depending on you point of view casts a dark shadow over some things about the subject.
I Think however I have highlighted some even here in this thread.
In anything related to door to door salesmen be aware, criminals get involved too.
If a product or service is so good why knock on doors to sell it.
My neighbors could very well have paid that $30.000, I could have got change from $15.000 for the same.
Solar, researched and under stood will play an increasing roll in cheaper energy, if we police and remove shonks from the industry.
