Is it still worth it getting solar?
The whole World seems to be rushing to solar power, and many states have generous subsidies or legally binding payback rates to encourage the uptake (eg in Germany Balcony Solar Power Stations have been a HUGE seller for months).
Stuff just published another article tolling the virtue of solar to combat the climate crisis - see www.stuff.co.nz... …
Now why is nobody reporting on the odd fact that New Zealand has made private solar power generation completely uneconomical with the new low fixed charge tariff regulations?
Currently we pay $80-120 per month for our electricity (of which $11 are fixed charges), mostly because we save energy any way we can. We were considering installing solar - but if we have to pay $60 in fixed charges anyway (plus the cost for electricity used on top) then what is the point?
