Australians are fast taking advantage of the falling costs of rooftop solar systems in order to beat the ever increasing electricity prices. This has brought about increase in total capacity of small-scale renewable energy systems to 6 GW (6,000 megawatt) mark; the equivalent of 5.

In May this year, one industry report showed Australian solar investments hit a record high in 2016. The 2016 report which was produced by the Clean Energy Regulator, highlighted in great detail Australia’s progress–obviously geared towards the realization of its 2020 renewable energy target.
