Solar down in Down Under

摘要

From one day to the next, the Australian Labor government has terminated the support programme "Solar Homes and Communities Plan (SHCP)". On the morning of 9th June, it announced that this was the last day on which it would accept any applications for the government grants - thus snubbing the domestic PV industry. "This announcement is a continuation of the boom and bust policy for the Australian solar industry", reacted Ferraretto SolarShop Managing Director Adrian Ferraretto, one of Australia's biggest providers of solar energy equipment.
