This is a round table discussion with experts (George Goudsmit,Tristan Wolfe, Campbell MacLennan), from AES Solar Systems (AES Building, Lea Road, Forres, Scotland, IV36 1AU, T: +44 (0)1309671086, www.aessolar.co.uk of Forres, Scotland, on September 25, 2012, moderated, edited, and uploaded by Susan Sun Nunamaker and filmed by Michael Nunamaker. It is important to keep in mind Tristan Wolfe's comment regarding people getting into solar PV without having considered the even more optimal purchase of solar thermal (solar hot water heating systems). Perhaps consulting experts in the field prior to making any decision would be well advised. In the process, I hope that my learned lessons/offered suggestions will be considered by countries that had not yet implemented solar FIT yet. Below, are such: The cost of Solar Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) program would be best not coming from the government subsidies but from the rate payers (consumers) in a tiered fashion, such that those of lowest tier (lowest power consumption and/or income) would not need to pay for the added cost due to solar FIT. Rest of the electricity consumers would bear a slight increase in their annual bills proportionally thus allowing electricity utilities to buy renewable energy generated from green sources at above-market rates set by the government. It would be advisable to start the Solar FIT low, close to the avoided cost level, then gradually increase the feed-in rate according to the need. So to be able to <b>...</b>
