  Despite the federal government’s inflexibility and political opposition to renewables, you cannot stop the momentum. Solar is now mainstream. It has caused a shake-up among regulators, generators, and policymakers.   Solar homeowners are fundamentally and irreversibly transforming the energy market. There are financial and environmental benefits of rooftop PV and the increasing appeal of battery storage, along with ever-smarter monitoring systems. The use of smart meters to meter net feed-in tariffs (as distinct from gross) has become popular. The decision to install PV these days is a no brainer. According to the Clean Energy Regulator (CER):   Rooftop solar is small but mighty; it’s more than double that of large-scale capacity, and by the end of 2020, more than $4 billion worth of households’ and businesses’ capital had flowed into rooftop solar generation alone, that’s not even counting battery storage.    In 2021 380,000 rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) in...

  The renewable energy industry has seen a surge in activity across the globe. From solar panels converting energy from the sun into electricity to onshore and offshore wind farms generating clean power, there has been a worldwide trend of increasing green infrastructure and sustainable energy which minimises environmental impacts and pollution. Statistics related to renewable energy generation in Australia The Australian continent has the highest solar radiation per square metre for any continent and some of the best solar energy resources in the world. The regions with the highest solar radiation are the desert regions in the northwest and the centre. According to the Clean Energy Australia Report 2021, the use of Solar energy in Australia has spiked. Australia had 27.7 per cent renewable energy within the country’s total electricity generation. This number was up by 3.7 per cent from 2019. Australia receives an average of 58 million PJ of solar radiation per year, approxima...
