Australians to pay the electricity company if they have solar panels
Solar panel owners in Australia may soon be charged by electricity companies for exporting excess energy back to the grid during peak hours. This change could potentially discourage solar uptake, as consumers may opt for smaller solar power systems to avoid the charges, but smaller solar power systems might not give people all the electricity they need and they have to remain connected to the electricity company and continue to pay bills. Let’s see how much people will be charged (punished) for feeding the grid.
