Rinnai Australia, owned by Japanese appliance manufacturer Rinnai Corporation, has expanded into the solar PV and energy storage space by acquiring Smart Energy Group.

Solar consultancy group SunWiz’s latest research covering July 2024 has found that Australia’s rooftop solar PV market has returned to growth with a 23% month-on-month increase in deployment.

The French government has awarded 179MW of solar PV in its most recent rooftop solar PV tender, half of the previous auction.

Singapore-headquartered renewable energy developer Peak Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to pursue a 50MW rooftop solar portfolio in South Korea.

In June 2024, rooftop solar PV installations in Australia dropped to their lowest point since January, with 247MW installed.

Indonesia has the potential to install 3.3TW of solar capacity, according to the government, but several obstacles need to be tackled.

The Clean Energy Council has called for a national strategy to support the uptake of rooftop solar and battery storage in Australia.

Small-scale solar generation grew rapidly from 5,959GWh in 2012 to 61,281GWh in 2022, driven by the rapid uptake of installations on homes.

Turkey's technical solar potential could reach 120GW, covering 45% of the country's total electricity consumption, according to Ember.

In October this year, PVcase released its rooftop solar design modelling software, which reduces lead time in the design process and encompasses the elements that need to be considered whilst planning a commercial & industrial (C&I) PV installation.
