Rooftop Solar: Paradise Lost | Zoe Hilton & Emilie Dye

​In this episode, we delve into the findings of the Centre for Independent Studies' recent report, "Rooftop Solar: Paradise Lost," co-authored by Zoe Hilton, Michael Wu, and Aidan Morrison. The report challenges the prevailing narrative that rooftop solar benefits all consumers, revealing that while solar panel owners enjoy significant financial returns, these gains often come at the expense of non-solar households. We explore how current tariff structures lead to cross-subsidies, disproportionately affecting vulnerable consumers, and discuss the broader implications for Australia's energy market and policy landscape.
