Analysts found that Australia’s solar power boom could almost double capacity within the next year.
January, and now February, were record-breaking months for rooftop installations and the development of large-scale solar farms in Australia with a massive solar energy boom now being predicted for 2018 as a result.
Renewables website RenewEconomy and industry analysts SunWiz both reported the dramatic increase in installations and developments, with the chief executive of the SmartEnergy Council, John Grimes noting it could be a result of soaring electricity bills due to high temperatures during December and January.
