After experiencing a decline in revenue due to the pandemic, a recent report said that solar power panel installation improved and was back on track.

Using solar power for electricity consumption has been essential to the environment and has reduced global greenhouse emissions. 

According to The Guardian's recent report, December 2022 was considered one of the third busiest months for solar panel installation.  

The report noted that severe weather conditions and  Covid-19 disruptions of supplies had affected the overall solar panel industry.  

The report added that there was about a 14% drop in 2022 installations in Australia. However, the end of 2022 gave an optimistic outlook for the industry. 

Solar panel installation is environmentally friendly and would help houseful reduce the cost of soaring electricity bills.  

High renewable activity 

EcoWatch explained that Australia contributed to low demand and emissions of greenhouse gases in 2022. 

According to the EcoWatch, Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)  explained that the fourth quarter of 2022 showed a high renewable activity in the country.

The report noted a decline in electricity consumption from gas and coal in Australia. In addition, the energy crisis between Russia and Ukraine resulted in a soaring cost of electricity. 

Installation and consumption of energy from solar panels have benefited Australia. There are rebates and incentives for solar panel users.  

The many benefits help invite homeowners to turn to solar panels for energy.

In addition, the installation of solar panels at your home would increase your property value, according to RateCity.  

According to ABC News, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) said that about three million homes have solar panels that help with electric consumption.

The report noted that community batteries would be helpful to solar power panels and communities. 

Why Solar Power Installation matters

The growing concerns over climate change and global warming have been alarming due to the potential impact on the environment.  

The effects of human-caused climate change have been felt globally. In Australia, the warming of temperatures and heat waves are concerning. In Europe, many countries recorded the warmest January of 2023.

According to The Guardian's report, the temperatures are expected to rise as La Niña ends this year. Experts said that  La Niña helps to lower the temperatures. However, the event El Niño would unleash hotter temperatures in 2024.

Australia has been committed to reducing the global greenhouse gas emissions that have contributed to the main problem of climate change. 

The use of solar power is eco-friendly. It is environmentally better. Renewable energy depends on sunlight, so it doesn't unload greenhouse gas emissions. 

Severe weather conditions could result in power outages that could last for days or weeks, depending on the damage. The option of solar power energy would be helpful. 

Furthermore, solar power energy efficiently reduces or cuts down electricity bill consumption. This time, the cost of solar energy power installation has become affordable and cost-effective.  

Did you know?  

  • According to DCCEEW's website, about 3 million or 30% of homes in Australia have solar panels. 
  • Meanwhile, Energy Australia reported that Southern Australia recorded large-scale installations and a higher rate than any country.
