ATA expressed support for the Bill and the exploration of the issues which were raised in the Terms of Reference. The decision to apply a means test to the solar rebate is based on the assumption that an individual installing a solar photovoltaic (PV) system is set to benefit from their acquisition. Whilst there will be a relatively small financial benefit gained via reduced electricity consumption charges and meager incomes derived from the sale of electricity back to the grid1, the majority of the benefit arising from the installation of grid-connected solar is accrued by all electricity consumers and the wider community.
