Green Energy Markets’ latest Renewable Energy Index states small scale rooftop solar power systems installed in October across Australia will deliver $195 million in power bill savings over the next ten years.<\/p>\n

“Electricity consumers are flocking to solar to shield themselves from the significant electricity price rises that have unfolded this year,” states<\/a> the company.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Electricity price hikes<\/a> in July saw households and businesses throughout much of Australia slugged with increases of up to nearly 20%, so the spike in interest in going solar<\/a> comes as no surprise as new bills started rolling in –\u00a0 along with the shock.<\/p>\n

Green Energy Markets notes that in October, rooftops solar installations exceeded 100 megawatts of capacity for the month (106MW). The company says the only other occasion when 100MW+ was installed was back in June 2012.<\/p>\n

The report states the 15,736 small-scale systems installed during October will generate electricity equivalent to powering almost 28,000 homes, and supported 5,193 full-time jobs.<\/p>\n

\"solar<\/p>\n

Queensland led the states and territories in terms of rooftop solar installs and employment, with 3,960 systems installed during October; supporting 1,347 full time equivalent jobs.<\/p>\n

The latest Renewable Energy Index, which includes Green Energy Markets’ methodology, can be downloaded here<\/a> (PDF).<\/p>\n

The Clean Energy Regulator’s take on October was quite different to Green Energy Markets’.<\/p>\n

In its recently published Cracking The Small Scale Code<\/a>,\u00a0 the Regulator states there were 7,412 small-scale systems installed nationally in October (6,152 of those solar PV), with a total capacity of 37, 991 kW (all systems). However, the Regulator’s published statistics were current as at November 1. The stats are based on Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) creation – and certificates can be created for up to 12 months after installation, meaning the installation figures for October will continue to rise.<\/p>\n

The Regulator states 88 solar PV systems had a concurrent battery storage<\/a> installation in October – so less 1.5% of installations it noted.<\/p>\n

The SolarQuotes auSSII report for October<\/a> indicated just under 5% of Australians receiving quotes<\/a> from the service during the month were seriously considering installing solar + battery systems concurrently.<\/p>\n

According to the Clean Energy Regulator, there were at least 1,763,298\u00a0 <100kW capacity solar power systems installed across the country as at November 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
