Image: plonk66<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

June was another busy period for the Australian rooftop solar installation sector, but not quite as hectic as May.<\/p>\n

Green Energy Markets’ Renewable Energy Index reports 17,320 small-scale solar systems were installed during June, compared to 18,917 in May (down 8.5%). The June result was significantly higher than in April<\/a> (15,896).<\/p>\n

“Small-scale” refers to not only residential<\/a> installs, but also commercial solar<\/a> installations under 100kW capacity.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the states stacked up:<\/p>\n

\"Rooftop<\/p>\n

Rooftop solar employed 5,955 people last month and the systems installed will deliver an estimated $222 million in bill savings over a ten-year period says the report.<\/p>\n

Installation figures for the next few months could be quite interesting given uncertainty over the National Energy Guarantee’s impact on the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRS) and the ACCC’s recommendation to axe Australia’s solar subsidy<\/a> (aka the “solar rebate<\/a>“) prematurely. Whenever the subsidy has been seriously threatened previously, Australians reacted by installing more solar given the “rebate” can knock thousands off the cost of a system.<\/p>\n

To beat last July’s figures, this month’s installations will need to exceed 14,466.<\/p>\n

Australian Renewable Energy In June – The Bigger Picture<\/h2>\n

Concerning renewables generally, Green Energy Markets reports enough renewable energy was generated in June to power 9.2 million homes and avoid 2.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. 20.2% of the electricity generated in Australia\u2019s main grids in June was renewables-sourced.<\/p>\n

The June Index states Tasmania and South Australia are heading towards a situation where both states could generate more renewables-based electricity than they could consume, while New South Wales is at risk of falling short of 20% renewables by 2020 – but only just (19.7%).<\/p>\n

In Victoria, the state is on track to seeing renewables making 39.4% of the state\u2019s electricity mix by 2020 – a big jump from just 17.7% share in 2015. This puts it well ahead of the first Victorian Renewable Energy Target (VRET<\/a>) of 25% by that year. It wasn’t that long ago (2008-09) that close to 95 per cent1<\/a><\/sup> of the state\u2019s electricity generation was based on the filthiest of fossil fuels – brown coal.<\/p>\n

As for Queensland, while the reign of Campbell Newman held the state back in terms of large-scale renewables, enough renewable projects are in the pipeline now to generate electricity equivalent to more than 90% of consumption in 2030.<\/p>\n
