Greens want 'fair price' for solar power and access to grid for all

Greens launch clean energy policy with spending to put solar in schools, a 'fast-track' to renewable energy and a right to solar for renters

The Greens want to regulate the electricity system to ensure a "fair price" is paid for solar-generated electricity and ensure a "legal right" to connect to the grid by forcing energy companies to prove they cannot connect a consumer.

The Greens' clean energy policy would put $192m for solar into schools, establish a solar ombudsman who would enforce a "right to solar" for renters and force energy companies to write-down pole and wire assets.
