As a sun-soaked continent, Australia offers excellent conditions for photovoltaic plants. Annual yields can reach 2,000 kWh per kW of rated output, which is about twice as much as in Germany.
In August 2009, the Australian Government announced plans whereby at least 20% of its power needs should be sourced from renewable energies by 2020. The Government’s launch of the “Solar Credits” scheme is part of this strategy and is aimed primarily at encouraging private households to install solar rooftop plants. Small installations in particular will receive excellent incentives. The Government aims to earmark some AUD4 million for subsidy programs and major projects in this field.
