Australians have jumped at the opportunity to install solar panels knowing they can substantially cut the cost of their electricity bills, according to a solar Energy report just released by the Climate Commission.
According to the report 10% of Australians are now powering their homes with solar power, with figures showing most of these people residing in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. This uptake is being called a ‘solar revolution’ states Climate Commission chief Tim Flannery.
I developed an interest in the Australian energy and construction sectors more than a decade ago and have since closely followed the trends, technologies and developments shaping both industries. My involvement in the Australian solar market began in 2008, and over the years I have built strong connections with professionals, businesses and organisations across the construction, solar and renewable energy sectors in Australia and internationally. These connections include solar panel and inverter manufacturers, electrical and construction industry professionals, software developers creating tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems, and media organisations that closely follow developments across energy, construction and renewable technologies. Today, I continue to contribute as an industry advocate, author and commentator, sharing practical insights and information to help Australian consumers and businesses better understand solar power, energy technologies, construction-related developments and the changing Australian energy landscape.
