rooftop solar

The City of Newcastle Council in Australia is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from service providers to deliver a ‘bulk buy’ community renewable energy programme for homeowners, landlords and small businesses.

A surge in rooftop solar has helped resolve load shedding in South Africa, but this has led to a decline in the demand for residential PV.

Australia’s Clean Energy Council (CEC) has been named the product listing body for solar PV modules and inverters eligible under the Australian government’s ‘Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme’.

The German solar trade association (BSW) has criticised government proposals to amend its Energy Industry Act.

The EIB has backed a solar plant in Croatia, Sonnedix advanced a project in Poland and Sunrock will build rooftop installations in Germany.

Australia has topped the international leaderboard in scaling electricity generation from low-emission and clean technologies, with growth between 2018 and 2023 at just over 100%.

Investment manager Patrizia and Mitsui & Co have entered the Philippine solar PV market with binding agreements to acquire an interest in BEI, a rooftop solar PV developer.

Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has revealed that over 7GW of renewable energy capacity could be added in the country by the end of 2024.

Axpo has started operations at the largest rooftop solar project in France, an industrial facility with a power generation capacity of 12.8MW.

Non-profit organisation Climate Council has signalled that Australia, the global leader in rooftop solar PV installations, could add a further 26.4GW by the end of the decade, bringing its total to 49.4GW.
