Shock news: NSW Solar Bonus Scheme closes to applications midnight tonight

Shock News – but THERE’S STILL TIME

In a shock announcement an hour ago the NSW Govt has stated that the popular solar bonus scheme will be closed to all customers who haven’t paid a  deposit for their systems by midnight tonight.

We ask all our NSW customers who haven’t yet selected their installer and paid a deposit to act immediately, and before midnight tonight, if they wish to secure their entitlement to the generous 60c gross tariff.  Otherwise, if your deposit is paid after midnight tonight, the scheme will reduced to a mere 20c tariff. To assist you, nearly all installers in 0ur NSW network have reduced their deposit to a risk free $100.

The Govt press release is as follows: http://www.premier.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/101027-Solar-Bonus-Scheme_0.pdf

Installers are working up to midnight tonight to process your orders.  The Govt press release expressly states that the deposit must be non-refundable.
