HITTING HOME THE TRUE VALUE OF SOLAR PV

摘要

Mark Twidell, regional director for BP Solar Australasia, said, "Australia's peak power needs are growing every year, and in some states it is growing at four times the rate of base load demand. "During times of peak energy demand wholesale electricity prices can be more than 100 times the average. It is also at this time that the power generated from a solar system reaches its maximum. "Why then, at these times of peak electricity demand are Australia's solar homes only receiving the standard, flat retail price for the electricity they are generating?"
