Thanks for the additional info! I think you, me and that engineer all agree this is about milking taxpayer subsidies.
Yes... but the consequence (outside of a scandalous waste of money) is that in the process, an unstable grid is being created. I've been working on some off-grid concepts for the past 20 years and have implemented quite a few of them. I'm currently working on bringing these together for my next home which will be completely off-grid. The main reason why I'm doing this is simple... no confidence that the people making decisions concerning public electrical supply have a clue as to what they are doing.
