They've been doing this in Europe for 15 years or so Allan, so there's nothing terribly imaginative going on at Origin

Basically, I think, you give permission for them to install solar panels on your roof.
They pay for it.
They own and maintain it (for a contract period?)
You can buy it off them at the end of the contract period.
In the mean time, they sell you the power it produces at a "Low" rate.
Any excess it produces is sold to the grid.
Just a bit different way to help fund a solar installation.
Sounds OK initially, but viability would depend on the actual numbers in the contract.
Just thought it was an interesting addition to this discussion. |
