Solar rebate grumble

I was all keen about installing either solar assisted hot water or perhaps even solar power which feeds back to the grid at our rental house (the house we intend to move back into when we return to Australia). However, it turns out that there is now a means test for the rebate, which means I wont install anything.

It seems pretty odd to me that the government expects me to front up the $14,000 for solar power, and wont provide me any support for doing so. At our usage levels it would take a very long time to pay off a large infrastructure cost like that. Oh well.
