Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
With the average non-rebate pay back of 40 years for solar photovoltaic, we are focused on projects with quicker pay backs. We are 100% committed to renewable energy as long as the technology has a payback of less than 7 years. To increase to use of renewable energy, we would have to cancel other projects that can have a greater immediate impact on sustainability.
