Household Solar Installations
This metric measures the number of household solar systems across Australia registered with the Clean Energy Regulator.
Where are we at?
Australia is the world’s leader in rooftop solar, with more than 4 million households having already installed solar on their roof.
The Western Australian suburb of Falcon topped the list for the highest number of solar installations in WA for three consecutive years (2020-2023). Analysis by Solar Run using publicly available Clean Energy Council data found there were 1,303 solar panel installations in Falcon in 2023 Meanwhile, Queensland took out the state trophy with a whopping 54,365 statewide installations completed from January 2020 to December 2023.
Why does this matter?
Rooftop solar is one of the most efficient and effective ways to reduce emissions and for Australians across the nation to take back control of their power bills, saving an average of $1,500 a year.
How do we build more momentum?
To seize the sun and realise our household solar potential, we can double rooftop solar capacity by the end of the decade. This plan will empower millions of Aussies with cleaner, cheaper electricity, while strengthening our national grid and permanently cutting climate pollution across the economy. To do this, we can ramp up installations across more family homes, social housing and businesses.
