Over the past year, Australia's rooftop solar continued to grow strongly, with an additional 2.78 GW, and the cumulative installed capacity reached 22.07 GW.
In addition to the "unbelievable" lighting conditions, subsidy incentives are also one of the biggest drivers of market development! Australia has introduced a series of policies to encourage the development of "photovoltaic + energy storage". The following is a summary of the policies of each state:
| Region | Incentive Policy |
|---|---|
| Australian Capital Territory | "Sustainable Household Scheme 2": Provides interest-free loans to reduce energy efficiency upgrade costs, covering items like solar panels and battery storage. |
| New South Wales | "Rebate Swap for Solar": This program offers low-income households the option to get a free 3kW solar energy system. |
| Northern Territory | "Home and Business Battery Scheme": From July 1, 2023, installs energy storage batteries and inverters, with a maximum subsidy of $5,000 (previously $6,000). |
| Queensland | "Battery Booster Subsidy": - Households with a total income of less than $180,000 can receive a $3,000 subsidy for installing specified battery storage. - If the highest income earner in the household has an annual income of less than $66,667, the subsidy increases to $4,000. - This subsidy applies to solar systems of 5kW or larger. |
| South Australia | No specific policy. |
| Tasmania | No specific policy. |
| Victoria | - Provides 4,500 interest-free loans, up to a maximum of $8,800. - "Solar Homes Program" offers a subsidy of up to $1,400 for the installation of solar energy systems. |
