Australia, world leader in rooftop solar
2023 CE • Australia
Australia has become the global leader in rooftop solar. "Nearly one out of every three Australian homes now has solar panels on top. Furthermore, rooftop solar power is about to become #1 in the country in terms of power generation capacity. Rooftop solar panels combine for approximately 20 gigawatts (GW) of power capacity in Australia, and more that 3.3 million households have rooftop solar PV. Another 10 GW are expected to be installed in just the next 3 years. Rooftop solar PV alone is set to surpass coal power capacity."
