Solar Insiders Podcast: Rooftop solar: Asset or liability?

Rooftop solar installations continue at record rate, but new technologies – and new thinking – ensure that this turns out to be a major asset to the grid, rather than the liability it is sometimes portrayed.

In this episode of Solar Insiders we look at some of those technologies, Nigel reports back from the industry get-together in Sydney, another interview with a successful local installers, and catch up with some regulator crack-downs on dodgy behaviour.

And, in our EV segment, we contemplate the Tesla Cybertruck. Good or bad? Beautiful or ugly? Who is going to buy it and why
