We got scammed into going solar, got tricked into gassing up our cars, now they're telling us to ditch gas at home, and it just keeps going. And don't get me started on this land tax bs - if you own more than one property, you're getting taxed unless you and your roomie pretend you don't live togeth... View More

It's just a way to get people to keep coppin' new tech. The more sales, the higher the GDP gets. The man don't wanna see regular folks stackin' too much cash.

It's a bit of a laugh how people thought the handouts would never end. There are a couple of reasons why you ever got any perks for generating extra solar power or installing solar panels in the first place. One, back in the day, it cost a whopping $60,000 to put in a 1.5kW system – a massive deal a... View More

We've been duped into getting solar panels, convinced to convert our cars to gas, and now told to get rid of gas in our homes. And the government keeps throwing more curveballs - like charging land tax on extra properties, unless you live together but have different addresses. What's next, mate? Sar... View More

Does it cost the utility any money when they send power into the grid during peak hours because it's too much for them to handle?
Yep

Just slap in a hybrid inverter and some batteries. No need to worry about sending extra power back to the grid.

They know most people can't use all the power they generate, so it's like free money for Ausgrid. And don't forget how great it is to have solar power working so well from 4pm to 9pm. Mildred Lewis

Another reason for not participating in the feed-in tariff is because I am not interested in the low rate.

Think about the farmers who supply to Coles and Woolies. They get bugger all for their stuff while the middlemen make a killing. If you're feeling the pinch from these feed-in tariffs, you're pretty much a sun farmer now.

We got played into getting solar, got fooled into putting gas in our rides, now they're saying no gas in the crib. And it doesn't stop there. Got another crib? Gotta pay that land tax. But if two people own a spot and don't share an address, they can dodge the tax. What's next, man? Raymond Williams

So they expect us to drop over 10 grand on a battery just to get back $1.6K? Yeah right, they're trippin'! Might as well just ditch the solar panels and fire up a diesel generator in the yard instead. Arthur Campbell
