The electricity network business serving southeast Queensland, Energex, expect

s this week it will have connected a quarter of a million solar PV systems to its network.

Energex is finding that even though the government has slashed the price solar owners are paid for their electricity, down from 44 cents per kilowatt-hour to just 8 cents, installations are still running at a reasonable clip.

As of April, 20 per cent of all solar generating capacity will now have been installed without receiving a major premium over wholesale market electricity prices.
