Here’s some hope for pensioners…well if you live in Sth Australia at the moment. SA are instigating a free Solar Panel system pilot program for 1,000 lucky Concession Card holders. They only have to forgo their State paid power and Cost of Living concessions when they get the offer. From the following article the “Concessions that households would have to give up include the $215.10 per year Cost of Living Concession and $231.41 per year towards their energy bill”.
Would the giving up of $400 odd in subsidies be enough to encourage you to take the offer up? To be honest I’d give mine up in a heartbeat to access the “free system” if I was ever to be invited to such a scheme.
