Governments Promote Rooftop Solar Power Adoption

Recent initiatives by the government aim to promote rooftop solar power systems in various sectors, exempting individuals and organizations from electricity operation licenses for installations not connected to the national grid, provided they meet specific criteria. In Australia, solar power systems are increasingly sought after by homebuyers, with 37% considering solar energy a key feature, particularly among Boomers. A University of Michigan study suggests that homes with solar panels will see increased value due to rising temperatures and the demand for cooling energy, confirming the financial and environmental benefits of solar installations. However, the residential solar industry faces challenges, such as deceptive sales practices that leave some customers dissatisfied and financially burdened. In India, a survey indicates that while 52% of people would adopt solar energy with better financing options, high installation costs remain a significant barrier, highlighting regional disparities in awareness and adoption. Addressing skill shortages and improving awareness of financing options are crucial steps to accelerate solar energy adoption in the country.
