And got electricity price hike last year, and now few weeks ago again, from ~25c kwh, to around 35c kwh! They say its reliance on fossil fuels.
Not just that, think Ireland has one of the most expensive broadbands in the EU!
- Schiendelman 2mo agoIf you're up to 35c/kWh, solar panels are almost definitely cost effective for you.
- s1artibartfast 2mo agodepends on where you are. In some parts of California you are out $10-20k just for the permitting and panel upgrade. Then there are proposals to charge homeowners based on insalled capacity. Part of NEM 3.0 in California was a $8/month per KW, but it was defeated. Who is to say it wont be back in 4.0? that would be about a $1000/yr fee for a 10 kw home system.
- Schiendelman 2mo agoIt would only apply to new installations, even in last year's proposal. I'm not aware of any part of California where a permit and panel upgrade would cost more than $7000. But if you're in those parts of California, your price is also 55c/kWh, not 35c. So... you're still better off.
