Apparently South Australia has 42 percent of the installed solar power in Australia, more than NSW and Queensland combined accoring to our never wrong Premier. Seems to me that we could have lot more in South Australia and Australia generally. This is a hot and sunny country. Obviously, big coal and the like run energy policy in this country. The barriers currently include large up front capital costs, despite government support programmes, long paybacks (up to 20 years) and insufficient incentive to return to the grid for renewable energy. Must be a better way than lots of new power stations and associated infrastructure.
