The average turnkey price of a typical 7 kWp household #rooftop#solar system in #Finland has dropped to 7.700 €, as demand slowed down and there are no more shortages in component supply or skilled installation personnel.
Households can also apply for a 40% tax rebate on the installation work, which probably brings the total cost to below 1 €/Wp.
Demand for batteries and DSM automation exceeds expectations. There is no feed-in tariff so consumers try to avoid feed-in. https://yle.fi/a/74-20079845
Australia’s #rooftop#solar
success puts even California’s #renewable#energy progress to shame. The country has three times more rooftop solar installations per capita than the Golden State.
That difference is cost.
In Australia rooftop solar costs less than $1 per watt to install. In America, #installation#costs range from $2.20 to $3.50 per watt depending on which state you live in, with a median cost of $2.80 per watt.
Updated: Rooftop solar continues to have major impact on the grid, meeting nearly half of all demand and sending black coal output and operational demand to record lows.
