Solar energy
Solar power in Australia. Solar PV generated approximately 10 per cent of Australia''s electricity in 2020-21, and is the fastest growing generation type in Australia. More than 30 per cent of Australian households now have rooftop solar PV, with a combined capacity exceeding 11 GW.
Photovoltaic systems
Solar panels capture the energy of sunlight which is converted into electricity. This is known as a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, usually called solar PV. Solar PV technology is a source of price-competitive, zero greenhouse gas emission energy for homes and businesses across Australia.

Silicon to Solar Plan: Australia''s manufacturing opportunities
Australian solar PV research and development is already world leading. A key solar panel technology, the PERC solar cell, was invented and developed in the University of New South Wales. PERC technology is core to more than 80 per cent of solar PV cells manufactured today.
Types of Solar Panels in Australia: A Comprehensive
Solar PV or photovoltaic systems are built as investments that, if paid for, will give their homeowner access to free electricity throughout the day, saving energy bills. Additionally, installing solar photovoltaic systems

Australia''s Solar Manufacturing Opportunity
Over the past three decades, the solar PV market in Australia has moved from off-grid to residential grid to commercial systems, with strong growth now in the large-scale utility and industrial markets.
Solar PV R&D
As a major source of renewable energy in Australia, even small improvements to the technology in solar photovoltaic (PV) cells can translate into large gains as more and more solar panels are installed on rooftops and in solar farms across the nation.
