Small-scale includes systems not only installed for households, but also for businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Going a bit beyond the AEC&#8217;s figures and according to data sourced from the Australian Clean Energy Regulator, the following was the average capacity of small scale systems installed in the first three months of this year.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>January 2021: 7.85kW<\/li>\n<li>February 2021: 7.75kW<\/li>\n<li>March 2021: 7.74kW<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, why the drop from December? It appears this has been seasonal phenomenon, particularly apparent since 2017. The AEC notes December has been the peak month for a significant jump in average installed solar system size. This is followed by a significant fall in January and then usually creeping back up as the year progresses, as indicated by this graph from its report.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50187 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/average-solar-system-size.png\" alt=\"Average PV system capacity\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/average-solar-system-size.png 800w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/average-solar-system-size-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/average-solar-system-size-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What the graph also shows is the general trend for system capacity is bigger. In terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">residential solar systems<\/a>, it will likely ultimately only be halted by available rooftop space; and the increasing uptake of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/commercial-solar-guide.html\">commercial solar<\/a> may pick up some of the slack.<\/p>\n<h2>More Solar System Capacity Stats<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au\/RET\/Forms-and-resources\/Postcode-data-for-small-scale-installations\">Clean Energy Council figures<\/a> indicate the average system size for all small-scale PV installations that have occurred since 2001 is now a whisker over 5kW; and between 2001 and 2019 it was 4.45kW.<\/p>\n<p>Up to the end of March this year, more than 2,767,311 sub-100kW PV systems had been installed across the country for a collective total of more than 13,860,765kW capacity. Given an estimated population of 25,751,000, this works out to around 538 watts of small-scale solar installed per Australian.<\/p>\n<p>However, what the CER&#8217;s figures don&#8217;t reveal is how much of this capacity has been decommissioned for whatever reason, and I&#8217;m yet to see anyone give calculating an estimation a red-hot go.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, there are tens of millions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/\">solar panels<\/a> on the rooftops of homes and businesses across Australia currently generating emissions-free energy and slashing power bills for their owners, systems are getting bigger and there are a lot more to come.<\/p>\n<p>The latest episode of SolarQuotes TV released last week has a special focus on big rooftop solar; discussing why it&#8217;s so desirable and what needs to be done in Australia to better support it given the challenges our grid faces. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solarquotes-tv-ep4-mb1981\/\">Check out SolarQuotes TV Episode 4 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As small-scale solar power installations proliferate in Australia, also growing is average system capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":50186,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Australian Average Solar System Capacity Continues Upwards<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As small-scale solar power installations proliferate in Australia, also growing is average system capacity.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-solar-capacity-mb1989\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Australian Average Solar System Capacity Continues Upwards\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As small-scale solar power installations proliferate in Australia, also growing is average system capacity.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-solar-capacity-mb1989\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-05-09T21:58:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/solar-capacity-australia.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-solar-capacity-mb1989\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-solar-capacity-mb1989\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Australian Average Solar System Capacity Continues Upwards\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-05-09T21:58:24+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-solar-capacity-mb1989\/\"},\"wordCount\":420,\"commentCount\":1,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-solar-capacity-mb1989\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/solar-capacity-australia.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
