Solar power is a major contributor to electricity supply in Australia. As of June 2025, Australia''s over 4.16 million solar PV installations had a combined capacity of 41.8 GW photovoltaic (PV) solar power. Solar accounted for 19.6% (or 46.7 TWh) of Australia''s electrical energy production in the National Electricity Market and South West Interconnected System in 2024.
A good quality 6.6kW solar panel system, properly installed, can generate around 26.4 kilowatt hours of electricity a day on average in the ACT – that''s more than the average Australian
How much power are your solar panels current producing? I have 12 rooftop panels of unknown specification (but were installed in 2014) that are producing a peak of around 1800W on a
Maximise annual solar PV output in Canberra, Australia, by tilting solar panels 31degrees North. Canberra, Australia is a fairly good location for generating solar energy throughout the year.
