A near-record number of rooftop solar systems were installed in Australia last month, despite a plunge in Victorian installations during COVID-19 restrictions and lockdown.
Despite predictions the pandemic would dent demand for new solar systems because of the economic downturn and disruptions to the building sector caused by social distancing, the opposite has been true, said Tristan Edis, the director of Green Energy Markets.“Home improvement, including solar, is doing very well out of COVID-19,” Mr Edis said.
Although the installation fall in Victoria was sharp, there were record highs in other states including NSW, Western Australia and South Australia.
