By early 2020, Australia had 10.7 GW of rooftop solar in 2.4 million systems. [13] By 2021, Australia had 13 GW of rooftop solar. Where new inverters (solar or batteries) are installed, they are required to have certain functions such as low voltage ride through and grid support to handle local grid issues and improve power quality.

The solar panels will cover 12,000 ha (30,000 acres) (12 km x 10 km) in an area with some of the best solar resources in the world. [10] An 800 km (500 mi) overhead power line will transmit 6.4 GW [ 11 ] to Darwin, where it will deliver up to 4GW to a proposed Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct before transferring to a 4,300 km (2,700 ...
South Australia has the highest per capita take up of household solar power in Australia. The installed PV capacity in Australia has increased 10-fold between 2009 and 2011, and quadrupled between 2011 and 2016. The first commercial-scale PV power plant, the 1 MW Uterne Solar Power Station, was opened in 2011. [23]
The Royalla Solar Farm is rated at 20 megawatts and was described at its opening as the largest photovoltaic solar farm in Australia. It was officially opened at Royalla on 3 September 2014. [9] The plant features 82,000 solar panels, installed on 41 kilometers of fixed structures.
The Mildura Solar Concentrator Power Station was a proposed 100 megawatts (130,000 hp) concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar PV system to be built at Carwarp, near Mildura, Victoria, Australia. [1] It was proposed by Solar Systems in 2006, [2] which was acquired by Silex Systems in 2010. A 1.5 MW demonstration plant was completed in April 2013.
This acquisition was Shell’s first Western Australian renewables development – and first Western Australian wind project. The Kondinin Energy project is located approximately 245 km east of Perth and comprises various stages of 370MW of developments across wind, solar and battery energy storage system assets.

Alice Springs, located around the Simpson Desert, is one of the five nominated regions in Australia to become a solar city.. Solar Cities is an A$97 million demonstration programme designed to promote solar power, smart meters, energy conservation and new approaches to electricity pricing to provide a sustainable energy future in urban locations throughout Australia.
The Australian Government, under the Clean Energy Initiative and the Solar Flagships Program, will invest $1.5 billion in up to 4 large-scale solar power generation projects. The Program will aim to create an additional 1000 megawatts of solar power generation capacity in Australia.
