They will do what they can against solar.
It is like if a negative thing comes out on electric cars it has to be spread and repeat many.
As if there are many things wrong.
Those with big investment will do what they can to stop or slow down progress.

Please explain.

Proposing and (doing) can often be two different things. Regulatory “exuberance” by bloated bureaucracies is beginning to put the brakes on accepting and implementing solar PV for individual use. It seems the basic “attack” on ground mount in the name of “safety” is another unecessary knee jerk reaction to weather events of the past destroying large solar PV installations. Some early failures in solar PV farms in Australia due to wind load design failures have had companies scrambling to redesign their product and incorporate better metallurgy and panel mounting points in new mounting technology. The government is behind and the solar PV industry as a whole is moving forward and are bringing new products out to solve problems exposed by failures in the field sites already installed. I smell the influence of insurance companies pushing for standards that actuarially benefit the company over the customer every time.
