  • Great High Quality Information

    I listen to Switched On because the topics covered are really focused on the householder and the good things and the traps for you g players that are out there when you’re trying to electrify your home and get off Fossil Fuels. In addition to that they always get really high quality well informed people o. The show and the interviewer always asks the important questions without turning the interview i to a debate. All in all it’s just an excellent program.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why the old tradie business model won't deliver all-electric homes
Q: What would you like to see done now in order to try and alleviate that pressure and that gap that is clearly getting larger, not smaller?
Jones proposes short courses and limited endorsements that let existing tradespeople safely take on additional tasks, such as electricians disconnecting and reconnecting water for heat pump installations.
Why the old tradie business model won't deliver all-electric homes
Q: Do you think that that is still a problem that we're facing? That we're not getting enough of the combined trades to pull off these All Electric Homes?
Yes. Trades traditionally work in silos and may not understand how one installation affects another system, such as how a heat pump affects a home's electrical system. Jones says cross-trade understanding remains a challenge.
The Australian invention bringing rooftop solar to apartments
Q: How does SolShare work?
It is hardware that splits electricity from one rooftop solar system among apartments behind their individual meters. It adjusts allocations frequently according to residents' electricity use, while they retain their own meters and retailers.
The Australian invention bringing rooftop solar to apartments
Q: Are we at risk of building a two-speed energy transition, one for homeowners and one for everyone else?
Knox says the disparity is already happening: nearly 40% of Australian homes have rooftop solar, compared with fewer than 3% of apartments, leaving apartment residents without access to potential savings.
Why electricity is now central to the fight against poverty
Q: Tell me why you think the 35% target by 2035 matters and whether it's achievable in nine years.
The target represents a credible pathway to electrify major energy end-uses, from industry to transport, using renewables and storage to deliver lower costs and greater energy security, and it can be achieved with strong policy support, investment in grid flexibility, and scaling of decentralized renewables.
