APVI's SunSPOT and Council Solar Installation Dashboards

With the cost of living rising, we’re committed to supplying simple, unbiased information about solar power to help residents reduce their energy bills.   Our sustainability and climate change experts are joining forces with experts from UNSW and APVI - Australian PV Institute, as well as one of NSWs’ leading experts in home energy efficiency, Adam Corrigan, to host a series of webinars demystifying solar power.    👉🏻 To learn more about solar and batteries, join tonight’s webinar: https://lnkd.in/g2eJJP-u   #HornsbyShireCouncil #Sustainability #SolarPower

"Renowned solar research institute the University of New South Wales (UNSW) was enlisted in the creation of the guide, which can be used in conjunction with the APVI's SunSPOT and Council Solar Installation Dashboards tool – from the Australian PV Institute (APVI)."

Did you know... There's potential for 4 times the number of solar panels currently installed on roofs in Australia! That means Australians are missing out on $9.3 billion per year in potential electricity cost savings, and many of them are living in apartments, social housing, and private rental houses. The findings are from the Rooftop Solar Potential of Australian Housing Stock by Tenure and Dwelling Type report which was conducted by researchers from APVI - Australian PV Institute and UNSW SPREE School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering and Solar Citizens. Dr Mike Roberts, UNSW Senior Research Fellow and one of the authors of the report, says "Our analysis found the power of solar can deliver average annual household bill savings $1300 each year.” “Apartment buildings are missing out on three gigawatts of solar power, more than two gigawatts on social housing and a massive 12GW in the rental sector, which includes both houses and apartments. "Apartment residents could be saving an average of $500 to $700 a year on their energy bills and could be paying off the system in five years or less. "While we have seen recent action on solar for social housing through collaboration between several state and federal governments, this approach should be fast-tracked to a greater number of social homes, given the outstanding cost savings on bills and other benefits delivered.” #solarpower #solarforrenters #solarforapartments Mohammad Dehghanimadvar

A new report for Solar Citizens and the APVI - Australian PV Institute led by CEEM's Mohammad Dehghanimadvar and Dr. Mike Roberts found that Australian rooftops hold an estimated 45.8GW of unrealised solar PV potential, and the estimated untapped bill savings from solar could amount to a huge $9 billion. The report also shows that rental properties alongside apartment blocks and social housing hold a large amount of that potential, and residents could be missing out on huge electricity bill savings offered by solar. The authors highlight a need for targeted incentives and subsidies to unlock this potential, addressing the split between tenants and landlords.
