“Victoria and NSW have both started to respond. Victoria’s current [Solar for Apartments](https://www.solar.vic.gov.au/apartments) round offers rebates of up to A$2,800 per apartment.” why does the media never report on this.. why did none of us ever know about this.. why don’t we have any passable form of press in this country..
We also can’t get EV chargers installed because of the insurance cost to the owners’ corporation.
Not sure I really see the point… in a large apartment complex the amount of roof area is minimal compared to the number of apartments, and the larger ones are probably using an embedded provider. The apartments are energy efficient and rooftop and commercial scale alternative energy will help make power cheaper for everyone including those in apartments. I guess this is aimed towards townhouses and low rise apartment blocks (with Victoria explicitly limiting their scheme to 8 stories).
We should have balcony solar..it’s popular in the EU
It would be a mistake to allow some idea of “equality of outcome” interfere with the transition away from coal and oil.
