Australia's National Electricity Market recorded a combined 3,320GWh of solar generation in July 2026, comprising 1,448GWh from utility-scale assets and 1,872GWh from rooftop systems.
Australia's installed cost of utility-scale solar has not fallen at the pace required to reach the country's “ultra-low-cost solar” (UCLS) ambitions, despite continued progress in cell and module efficiency.
Trinasolar, a Chinese module manufacturer, has started mass production of a 515W solar module developed exclusively for the Australian residential and commercial rooftop market, with first deliveries expected this month.
