Australia has reached more than 1.6 million small-scale solar installations as of 1 November, having added just 90,000 units so far this year, according to the Clean Energy Regulator.
Small-scale technology certificates (STCs) were created for 10,487 solar PV systems, totalling 56.3MW capacity, in Australia in April, but this fell well below the STC targets set by the regulator.
Australia must deploy an estimated 6GW of renewables capacity in order to meet its Renewable Energy target (RET) set for 2020, according to the nation's Clean Energy Regulator.
