i reckon the govt is treading water a bit cause some new aussie solar technologies will hit the markets in the next 6-12 months that could make current stuff obsolete. theres also that thing called inflation, and paying 8k to folks on 100k/yr, when the solar industry in question has expanded 60-70% in the last 12 mths seems a bit rich. if you're cashed up and want to go solar, do you need the rest of the country to buy it for you? but again, i reckon they're happy to cool the industry for a year before the good stuff comes available and next budget they could say, heres the good stuff, heres a subsidy, go for it!
