Small-scale solar installations in Australia doubled in 2019

Australia saw its installations of sub-100kW PV double to a record 2.13GW in 2019 as compared to 2017. The sub-100kW solar market also saw three years of over 33% annual growth, in contrast with the 2013-2016 period of market contraction. The growth was attributed to a combination of high electricity prices, low solar equipment costs, and increased awareness of solar energy’s value proposition across the value chain e.g. many residential customers are installing systems as large as permitted by their network operator, with an eye to future battery installation or factoring in a future Electric Vehicle purchase.
