rooftop solar

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.

Australia's CER has suspended 21 companies from the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) during the April to June 2026 quarter.

The financing will support the Government of India’s PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSMGBY) initiative.

Australia and India have formalised a broadened energy partnership that spans renewable energy deployment, supply chain resilience, critical minerals, rooftop solar training and uranium exports.

India added approximately 26GW of solar capacity and 3GW of wind capacity during the first half of 2026, according to JMK Research. 

Australian renewables company CleanPeak Energy will develop a 9MWp rooftop solar PV system alongside 30MW/120MWh of battery energy storage for Western Sydney International (WSI) Airport in Australia.

Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) recorded a combined 2,413GWh of solar generation in June 2026, comprising 1,092GWh from utility-scale assets and 1,321GWh from rooftop systems.

The Australian government has officially launched the Solar Sharer Offer, a regulated energy initiative that gives eligible households three hours of free electricity every day during peak solar generation.

PV Talk: IEEFA’s Gaurav Upadhyay says India’s rooftop solar surged but conversion gaps and financing barriers persist despite strong momentum.

Australia leads the world in residential rooftop solar, but its commercial and industrial sector has deployed only 5.6GW.
