Top solar postcodes of Australia – state by state

Published by

It’s that time of the year again when Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator releases the updated data on Australia’s top solar postcodes – the rooftop PV hot-spots of each state and territory that are leading the uptake of residential and commercial solar systems sized between 0-100kW.
