The great solar power scam.

In the next decade solar will be
 the cheapest source of
power in the world, and Australia
is an untapped goldmine.  

Most of us have had the nasty experience of opening up a power bill that's more expensive than you expected. But imagine how bizarre and frustrating this is for those people who've spent the money and effort to put solar on their roof – only to find out their power bill is just as expensive as ever.

Over the past several years, Victorians have installed solar panels in droves. This is great for the energy market, as solar customers create energy just at the time when demand is at its peak (hot, sunny afternoons when people need airconditioning, for example).
