Barry O'Farrell, I'm not rich, but I have solar panels. Who else?

My husband and I earlier this year invested $10,000.00 on solar panels on our roof and by NSW Law it stated that we were to receive .60 cents per KW that we made from the sun. Now they are changing the 'CONTRACT LAW' that they just put in to say we won't be getting .60 cents.

We took out a loan to invest in the panels, we are not wealthy people we were just trying to do the right thing by the environment and to make our own power. Now we will have trouble even paying for the panels.

Barry O'Farrell feels sorry for other people who can't afford solar panels. Well Barry we couldn't really afford them either, that's why we took out a loan. Now we definitely can't afford them but they are still sitting up on our roof and we still have a debt of $10,000. Mr O'Farrell can buy the panels from us and stick them where the sun don't shine.

I am going to the Solar Industry Protest this Wed 18th starts at 11.30am at Customs House Circular Quay Sydney, If you have the time to join us.

Would you like to sell your solar panels to Barry?

    I just had my solar panels installed and because the OFarrell government put a stop to new schemes on April 28th, I have no clear idea of what will happen. This whole debacle has been a complete lie. It is NOT solar panels that have caused electricity prices to rise, it is IPART rubber stamping greedy electricity companies trying to make a profit. AGL increased its profit by 11% in 2009, 13% in 2010 and is on track to make even more. I applaud you going to the rally and hope it goes well. Think about this basic rule of economics - if you have a greater supply (that is you and others feeding electricty back into the grid) then electricity companies should reduce prices NOT increase them. The real truth is that Integral, Origin, AGL etc are trying to squash the competition (Solar Companies) and the government is letting them. Good Luck
