Gross feed in tariff good news for solar households

Solar households to get paid for all their power ABC News  Nov 10, 2009 The New South Wales Government has reversed its policy on solar power – meaning households with solar energy systems will soon be paid for all of the electricity they generate.
The state Government is adopting a gross feed-in tariff system for solar energy rather than the net model which is in place in other states.The Environment Minister John Robertson says it means households will be paid for all of the electricity produced by solar panels, not just the surplus which is fed back into the grid.

“It will be the highest payment for families anywhere in the country at 60 cents per kilowatt-hour,” he said.”This will provide households the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint and also ensure they’re generating electricity using solar cells.”
