Split the earnings? Because the electric utility would have a contract to buy from his meter – not yours.

Yes, I hope so. Its sad seeing that curbed by the “no roll-over electrons” at the end of each year!

Here are some further details relating to the above.

THe NSW FIT runs for 7 years.

It is capped at 10KW per installation.

The program will be reviewed after 2 years or 50MW which ever comes 1st.

In a addition to the gross FIT, there is also a nation wide rebate. Where for the 1st 1.5KW the customer will receive Renewble energy certificates, which have a current maket value of around $4,800.

Also if eligble housholds are able to access 4 year intreast free green loans.

I think we will hit 50MW with the 1st year in NSW.

“A “credit” on your bill that expires at the end of each year, like California offers, tends to discourage homeowners from installing over-sized systems that send free energy to the utility.”

This has changed with two new bills which offer feed tariffs for home and small installations (see Feed-in Tariff’s Impact on California = Germany Runs Out of Solar Panels Due to Generous Feed-In Tariffs). AB 920 and SB 32 are bound to change many of the “power dynamics” in California.
