Solar Market Synopsis: August
PV Market
- Last month saw 111MW of PV registered across Australia, an almost-equivalent month of registration to June.
- Lag between installation and registration implies that June’s installation peak was higher than last year’s.
- Victoria is running hot; and one-quarter of systems installed in Queensland in June was 5kW.
- Analysis of Solar Choice pricing information shows that systems can be bought in Melbourne for the same average price as in Brisbane – evidence of strong competition in Victoria.

Solar Hot Spots
- All of Queensland must be hot now, but Hot Spots can help find sales targets in the aftermath. For example, postcode 4814 (Annandale near Townsville) had a great Q1 2012, and didn’t suffer much setback when the multiplier reduced in 2011.
- Annandale QLD has almost 3MW installed; its recent average system size wa 3.79kW, and its penetration is only 8%.
- Thanks to Andrew Dunning who picked up a calculation error in last month’s mailout about Victorian postcode 3032 (Ascot Vale).
