Most PV systems in Australia are NOT self installed. Most systems are
domestic grid tie systems. If the system is not installed by a 'Clean
Energy Council' certified electrician, it can not be connected to the grid.
The market exploded when subsidies were offered by a form of carbon
trading ,STCs where companies could buy your 'green credits'. Companies
appeared to broker STCs. There were also very generous 'gross feed in'
tariffs offered in most areas a few years back. (My own system is
getting 60c/kw for ALL generation, some of which I buy back at ~40c -
this tariff ends at the end of this year).
However the market has been 'kick started' and domestic grid tie
systems are still going in with out any incentive other than reduced
electricity bills. (All systems are now 'net' metered and excess is
bought back an only ~6c/kw/hr now)
My PV system generates far more than my electric boat consumes charging.
I guess I can call my e-boat solar powered ?
