Australian homes and business installed a record 1,057MW of rooftop solar in 2017, equating to around 3.5 million solar panels, according to figures from the Clean Energy Regulator (CER).
At the beginning of 2017, the big question regarding solar in China was whether they could repeat the stunning ~35GW performance of 2016. Yet, over the course of the year, the question transformed, quite surreally, to whether China would hit the 50GW mark in 2017, writes Apricum's Meishi Tan.
Singapore ended Q1 2017 with 129.8MW of installed solar PV, four times more than the 33.1MW it had at the end of 2014, according to the annual energy report from Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA).
China added 7.21GW of solar PV in the first quarter of the year, roughly 70MW compared to the same quarter last year, according to figures from China’s National Energy Administration (NEA).
