Technology has evolved and consumers are demanding a clean energy future. Solar panels and solar batteries are what Australians are purchasing to escape the rising cost of electricity. With government incentives available, solar batteries are now more accessible than ever.
Over the past decade, the solar industry has boomed. In 2018, the number of Australian households with solar PV installations reached 2 million. That’s an average of six solar panels installed per minute!
The solar industry is growing rapidly, yet there are many solar companies who have left. ABC News reports that almost 700 solar companies have gone out of business since 2011, leaving about 650,000 Australians without warranties if their systems fault. These systems are referred to as ‘orphaned’ systems, because there is no longer a company available to take responsibility.
So, how’s it possible that so many solar companies have shut down in an industry that’s booming?

The Australian solar industry has grown significantly over the past decade and is expected to continue expanding with new solar farms and residential solar projects going into development all the time. The growth has been largely driven by new large-scale solar farms which have increased industry electricity generation from less than 50 Megawatts in 2014 to over 2,400 Megawatts in 2018. There are plenty of new solar farms planned over the next few years meaning the industry is well positioned to continue growing throughout Australia.
