A new report warns fossil fuels may lose 10 per cent of market share to solar panels and electric vehicles within just a decade; enough to cripple energy incumbents.
An extra 36,000 solar panels now installed along Canberra’s “solar highway” will generate enough clean electricity to power approximately 3,000 ACT homes.
In the early days of solar, a residential PV system would generally be sold by the same small electrical business that designed the system and installed it. The industry was young and, as far as the Clean Energy Council could figure, it made more sense to concentrate on the design and installation side of things rather than the selling.
Infrastructure and services company Broadspectrum and MPower Projects announced on Friday they had formed a consortium to target large scale solar projects in Australia.
