Is it still worth it getting solar?

Markus from Green Bay

The whole World seems to be rushing to solar power, and many states have generous subsidies or legally binding payback rates to encourage the uptake (eg in Germany Balcony Solar Power Stations have been a HUGE seller for months).

The whole World seems to be rushing to solar power, and many states have generous subsidies or legally binding payback rates to encourage the uptake (eg in Germany Balcony Solar Power Stations have been a HUGE seller for months).

Stuff just published another article tolling the virtue of solar to combat the climate crisis - see www.stuff.co.nz...

Now why is nobody reporting on the odd fact that New Zealand has made private solar power generation completely uneconomical with the new low fixed charge tariff regulations?

Currently we pay $80-120 per month for our electricity (of which $11 are fixed charges), mostly because we save energy any way we can. We were considering installing solar - but if we have to pay $60 in fixed charges anyway (plus the cost for electricity used on top) then what is the point?

Yucca & other plant

Markus from Green Bay

Hi all, advertising for an old neighbour who can't use her left arm anymore, so taking care of the plants has become very problematic. Would be nice if she could get a few dollar for it as she is on a very small pension. Pickup in Green Bay, opposite Green Bay High School.
