RET Review panelist paid enough for a 20kW solar system, as questions arise over Review’s terms of reference. Plus: solar industry hits back on modeling behind proposed tariff changes; How a community solar project raised $120k in 10 days; Graph of the Day; City of Adelaide’s emissions win; US solar system prices continue downhill slide; Europe’s climate and energy test; questioning the value proposition of energy storage; 2014 on track for warmest on record; UK conservatives call solar ‘blight on landscape’; into the low-down on oceans, climate and the hiatus; and micropower’s quiet takeover.
