Australia’s rooftops continue to be a clean-energy powerhouse, with new data from the Clean Energy Council released today showing rooftop solar provided 12.8 per cent of the nation’s electricity generation in the first half of 2025, with Australia on track to meet its 2030 rooftop.

The federal government is spruiking a new scheme which will give millions of Australians a chance to get up to three hours of free electricity each day. Right now, huge amounts of solar power generated in the middle of the day go to waste, as most people aren't home to use it and there aren't.
The Australian government has announced an ambitious plan to provide households in three states with at least three hours of free solar power every day – even if they don’t have rooftop panels. The “solar sharer” scheme, set to launch in July 2026, covers homes with smart meters across New South.
