Solar Feed Tariff "Rip-Off" - It's time to take control of your Solar Power input.
Solar Feed Tariff "Rip-Off" - It's time to take control of your Solar Power input.
The issue
Sick of being ripped off by your Power provider. Feeling angry at the lack of support, interest or action by Government?
Is your Solar Power system that you paid for, feeding power into the grid and giving you just a few cents per KwH while they charge you full price for the same power?
The power companies are not going to give us any more and the Government are just not interested so it is up to us to take control of our Solar investment now! The Power companies have already applied for and gained approval from the Government to remotely isolate your feed in when they do not require your power generation. This will occur without timely notice and of course, you will not get any credit during the time you are isolated.
What can we do your ask? The simple but very effective answer is:
On the Longest Day of this year Tuesday, 22 December 2026 (the Summer Solstice) when power demand is often at it's highest, 'Switch Off ' your Solar Feed input to the grid at your Meter between 8 am and 8pm . This is usually marked as ModBus or older installations may simply label it Solar.
If enough of us do this there will be a significant lack of supply on this long, hot day when with high demand they rely heavily of our Solar input. The power companies will have to deal with the demand while our actions will short supply the power needed. Sure it is going to cost you maybe as much as a couple of dollars best case scenario or more likely only a few cents at the rate they pay us.
In the middle of Summer when power demand is at its peak I am asking that all of us little Solar power Providers act in unison and ISOLATE them! Let's see how they struggle to provide the power needed at that time.
Greedy Electricity supply companies in Australia are ever increasing the cost of Electricity an essential service already beyond the means of many people and even more businesses. Those of us that invested our own money to install Solar systems in the belief that we would benefit from lower Electricity costs have been fooled. The Government is quick to promote Australia's fastest growing Solar system take up by Homeowners and businesses yet does nothing to preserve our investment nor diminishing returns. And then they proudly boast that they (the Government) are a major contributor to their stated Green Energy goal.
Join me and take a stand by Switching Off your Solar feed-in between 8 am and 8pm on Tuesday, 22 December 2026 .
To the Hon Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Climate Changer and Energy.
We the little Home and Small Business owners who comprise the major solar power generation in Australia hereby give notice by this petition of our intention to Switch Off our Solar feed-in between 8 am and 8pm on Tuesday, 22 December 2026. Our action is In protest at the sheer unabated greed of Power Companies who continue to increase Electricity costs and reduce the return on our investment of installed Solar power. It is acknowledged that the Australian Federal Government is unlikely to improve our situation and it is therefore as a courtesy that we provide this notice.
