Any excess would then to suplly in the national grid who will credit the individuals.The intial investments made by the individuals to install the capturing equipments will thus be amortized. Law has to be amended to allow individuals to become power generators and be allowed them to trade in energy. Exprimental pilot projects are presently runned in a few locations in the world.I believe in a few years time, the full rollouts will be implemented.The break even pointwill soon be reached with the rising cost of Fossil fuels and the lowering cost of the solar capturing devices technologies.

Mauritius should be more concerned with environmental issues. Not only would that decrease pollution, government spending and costs to individuals in the long run, but its to make use of a resource we are lucky to have. On a micro scale though, how does that work out? I mean, to start such a business, would there be cronies to court and gain the favor of to actually start the business? I agree.
