has anyone else noticed how the solar panel rebate is about to be reduced even further to almost nothing ?
The electricity supply companies are sure making us " their suppliers " by taking the electricity ( power ) OUR solar panels produce daily, and selling that same electricty back to us and making huge profits while charging us excessively ridiculous high prices.
Why, now, would anyone even bother to have solar panels installed on their roof for at least $6000 + ?

I haven't noticed. Is it a case of the government fees there has been a high enough uptake of solar? Or, if there is more the infrastructure and grid will be unstable, overload etc?

I do feel the rebates need to continue so that the solar industry can continue, otherwise the industry will collapse with no one buying the clean and green technology. The rebates were to stimulate the industry.
