– Energy Matters has announced the development of a league table to help consumers identify solar-friendly retailers. Read more.
– In a statement made by the Clean Energy Council, the cost of supporting residential solar power is minimal in comparison to the billions of dollars in network costs that it says are primarily responsible for driving a spike in electricity prices. Read more.
