Solar panels to be installed on NSW homes if Labor wins state election | Sky News AustraliaLabor has pledged to install rooftop solar panels on half a million homes across New South Wales if it wins the upcoming March state election.\n\nThe program would see households with a combined income of $180,000 or less qualify for a rebate.\n\nIt is hoped the program will add solar power to an additional million homes over the next ten years and could save the average household up to $1000 annually.\n NSWLabor Isn't this up to the homeowner's digression? I bet you the way they 'promise' this is by inflating the energy costs yet again by 20%. Which then makes solar look way more attractive. They should hit up PowerLedger_io to get it done though.
