Australia is on track to overshoot its 2030 rooftop solar targets, with enthusiasm for panels and batteries offsetting drops in broader renewable investment and large projects.
About 27 gigawatts of rooftop solar had been installed by homes and small businesses by end-June, the Clean Energy Council said in a report. That is set to rise to 37.2 gigawatts by the middle of 2030, beating the nation’s target by more than 4%, the renewable energy advocacy group said.
