Australians are loving solar power more than ever, and we are not just talking about opinion polls and sentiment; the proof is in the numbers. Small-scale renewable energy has hit ‘record-breaking capacity’: homes and businesses have collectively reached a mighty 6000 MW, enough to power more than 1.8 million homes which equates to every home in Sydney. Announcing the news last week the Clean Energy Regulator described the latest milestone as “remarkable”.

Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull is mighty proud of the upgraded rooftop solar array and battery storage system that he had installed in his Point Piper harbourside mansion in Sydney earlier this year.

The Sunshine Coast town of Noosa claims it’s leading Queensland when it comes to solar power installation.

‘Silicon Module Super League’ (SMSL) member Canadian Solar has acquired an 80.6MW solar PV project under development at Guimarania, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
