that seems well low for australia
Rooftop solar has been popular for a long while. Maybe it's just because of the comparative populations?
Could it just be because Australia has a fraction the population of these other countries? One would assume that translates into less power consumption overall, even if not proportionate to population.
Nope. We are basically just a bunch of coal mines pretending to be a country, anything remotely good is spat on and villified by our media, which is majority Rupert Murdoch owned, and labor are spineless and the liberal coalition are straight up evil, so even the slightest positive change is hard fought and very quickly lost.
Domestic rooftop solar is super common and really cheap due to government rebates. a quick google search says that over 20GW is generated by rooftop solar (i.e. solar panels feeding into the grid from people installing solar panels on their roof). i wasnt expecting total power generation to be above China or us or maybe India, but definitely above most eu regimes.
they don't have enough sunlight don't you know
