With electricity bills tipped to rise by up to 18% across Queensland, NSW and South Australia entering the new financial year, Aussies are actively seeking renewable energy alternatives. Launching Monday, the Solar Home Bundle from EnergyAustralia is set to provide eligible homeowners with a solar and battery system that is installed and managed by EnergyAustralia with no upfront costs as part of a 7-year energy plan. Home owners taking up the offer will receive a solar system that includes tier-one rooftop solar panels, an inverter and 10.1kWh battery.

Sales of electric vehicles across Australia have risen by over 400 per cent in the first five months of this year with the ACT experiencing a 350 per cent EV growth as one of the leading jurisdictions in the zero-emissions surge.

A new report published by UK-based energy think tank Ember shows that solar was the world’s fastest-growing source of electricity generation in 2021. Australia leads the world in its uptake, with PV generating 12% of the nation’s electricity last year.
