According to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), 47.8% of South Australia’s demand for electricity is currently provided by rooftop solar as reported by Futurism.
This number is a regional best for South Australia and the state continues to do well with renewables.
AEMO has predicted a possible zero grid demand within 10 years thanks to the success and efficiency of rooftop solar in the state.
No other nation in the world has the unique potential Australia does to become a solar superpower. It’s widely known the Great Southern Land is the only country to have a whole continent to itself.
There’s an array of architects who’re taking the integration of solar panels to the next level. They look to create homes in a way so that a solar system isn’t simply an addition.
The story of the solar power sector’s growth is incredible – but not always accurate. We live in an era where there’s a lot of ‘fake news’ swirling around, and it can make public discourse very tense. Stating this fact – and that it’s obvious – doesn’t seek to enhance the distance between differing viewpoints. In fact, it’s seeking to do the opposite.
Solar Trust Centre is an Australian based, renewable energy, predominantly solar focussed education resource.
Every week we educate thousands of Australians on how to choose high quality solar and renewables.
