The number of small solar power systems installed in Australia has grown by more than 300,000 since the end of 2011.
Recently published data from the Clean Energy Regulator relating to systems installed under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme shows the nation’s rooftops collectively host at least 956,193 solar panel arrays as at January 31 this year. At the end of 2011, there were 644,045 systems.
