Mr Andy McCarthy, the committee member of Gippsland Solar is astonished to see the remarkable hike in the demand of solar panels usage Gippsland Solar is the top provider in Gippsland region of solar power, battery storage and solar for business system.
He stated it seems crazy to see sudden growth in demand as he has been installing panels since 18 years in Victoria.
The company installed 100 kilowatt system, way back in 2013. It was their’s first and huge deal. Now they are providing three a week- he informed the reporters.
Such growth rate has energized the company to install more and more as the uptake by the Australians is six and a half on average per minute.
After the announcement about Billion-dollar renewable energy package by the Victorian Government, company is now strengthening their grip so that they can target more than they were doing till now. They have planned to put panel on an extra 650 thousand roofs in a decade.
Mr Wood – the Director of energy policy at think-tank Grattan Institute commented on this that it might come with risks as that will triple the photo-voltaic (PV) quantity in Victoria. Mr McCarthy agreed with Tony Wood, on the issue but he is comfortable with technology’s progress though they are lagging behind in groundwork.
Audrey Ziebelman – Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), mentioned about the future load that will be have to be beard by the grid.
Reports says that the previously installed solar panel grid system are not capable of taking responsibility of each and every individual house power supply and then back into network.
Newly generated smart household batteries will replace this issue soon added Mr McCarthy.
From the sources it has been reported that by the end of 2020, Victoria’s Government will back up 6 new wind and solar farms. But parallelly,Total Eren of EREN Group reported about the engineering solution for this issue.
Due to the demand in the power costs there’s a chance of return in investment by 4 to 6 years that was 10 to 11 years before. But capturing of lands for the installation of power grid system will be at the cost of agricultural lands.
