Renewable Energy News

As part of its green energy efforts, India on Monday unveiled its action plan to integrate the renewable energy sources with the national electricity grid. This comes in the backdrop of the worlds worst grid failure in 2012 which left around 620 million Indians without electricity.

Australia’s solar boom has brought with it an endless stream of positive impacts both economically and environmentally. But with economic growth in an industry comes complications for consumers. If you mention the word warranty to any solar customer, the response will likely be that of frustration.

This is an often ignored area of the solar industry and, as a result, it’s becoming a growing issue as more and more Australian solar systems begin to age and wear out.

With the date set for Australia’s Federal Election, the Australian Solar Council is going into overdrive to ensure politicians are very aware that solid solar policies shift votes.

“Unfortunately, powerful forces in the Liberal and National parties are still committed to a fierce anti-solar agenda,” says the Council.

“Our hope was that we had put support for solar above politics. But a determined anti-solar group remains. It is time both major parties, and the cross benches, know we are deadly serious.”

Zero – that’s the number of times solar and renewable energy were mentioned in Treasurer Scott Morrison’s Budget speech on May 3. Opposition leader Bill Shorten fared better on that front in his Budget reply speech on Thursday evening.

In the speech, Mr. Shorten said Labor views renewables as a means of giving new life to Australia’s manufacturing sector.
