National Broadband Network - is it really Green?

How green is the National Broadband Network (NBN) and what are the alternatives?

See here for the full story.

Basically the 60c gross feed-in tariff is now down to 20c. The net effect of this is that the point at which a solar system breaks even (i.e. covers it costs is set back by roughly 3 times the duration).

For a more precise analysis of this please use our Solar System Saving Calculator to work out the expected point of breaking even now. You can even use the calculator to compare against the rate of return you will receive off a bank account, and also account for cost increases over time.
