Australia’s residential solar market could be in a state of permanent decline given that market penetration is already very high and the county’s Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) subsidy may come to an end this year, according to the latest analysis from Australia-based solar consultancy SunWiz.

Renewable energy firm SolarCity was responsible for 34% of residential solar PV installations in the first three quarters of 2015, according to GTM Research’s ‘US PV Leaderboard: Q4 2015’.

Leading module supply firm Hanwha Q CELLS is to almost triple its supply agreement with Sunrun, becoming one of the developer’s main suppliers in 2016.

US solar installer Suncrest Solar has marked a big play in the residential market by expanding into northern California and launching into two new US states.
