Press Release: ACT Feed-In Tariff

Press Release

Thursday July 3rd., 2008

For Immediate Release:

Local Solar Industry Has a Sunny Future With Feed-In Tariff-
Local Installation Industry Wins, The Environment Wins, Investors Win.


"Today's news that the ACT Feed-in Tariff legislation has been passed by the Legislative Assembly is exciting.", says John Payne, Chairman of Enviro Friendly Products in Phillip. "The news is wonderful for those customers who are solely motivated by concerns for the environment. Happily, the combination of rebates and feed-in tariff also leads to some excellent financial returns. We've already have customers waiting for the announcement, who've calculated that the tax-free return they can get is more than comparable with other investment options."

Under the new Feed-in Tariff, customers will be paid almosr 60c per KW-hour. In Canberra, a typical 1000 watt (one kilowatt) system will produce around 5 KW hours per day, or around 1800 KW hours per year. At 60c, that is around $1100 a year. If a customer qualifies for the Federal Government's Solar PV Rebate, the can have a top-quality 1 Kw system installed for under $6000. According to John Payne, "That equates to a guaranteed tax-free return of over 18%. Even if they don't qualify for the PVRP $8000 rebate, they'd stll enjoy a guaranteed, tax-free return of over 7%."

While some businesses installing solar panels have been talking doom and gloom since a Federal Budget decision to introduce a means test, Enviro Friendly Products has been going from strebgth to strength.

"While the means test introduction hurt a numeber of our customers, and cost us over $100,000 in cancelled orders the following day, our sales have continued to grow. In fact, we've had to add a couple two extra people to our installation staff roster."
