Solar Insiders Podcast: Australia and the art of the stop-start solar policy

Australia’s suite of stop-start solar policies is driving some parts of the industry crazy with frustration, as the phone stops ringing in Victoria and strict new workplace rules are imposed in Queensland.

This week, we look at the various state policies, and how they are hitting installers and developers, and the surreal federal policy debate.

Plus: Why a DIY Powerwall battery is probably not a great idea.
