In Australia, installing rooftop solar is usually the easiest and cheapest way for you to generate your own clean, low-carbon energy. It enables your business to be more self-sufficient and reduces your reliance on the electricity grid. You may also be able to sell excess energy back to the grid.
Burning fossil fuels is still the main way that electricity is generated in Australia, accounting for 76% in 2020.
Switching from grid power to solar power will substantially reduce the carbon intensity of your electricity use (from about 900g to 20g of carbon dioxide per kWh or 97%).
Energy from rooftop solar now accounts for 7% of the electricity going into the Australian grid and is considered to be the most cost-effective way to generate electricity.
