Orange Paper - Queensland – A Solar Deployment World Leader

"The Queensland Government has set an aspirational target to have a million rooftops with solar panels by 2020. This provides great opportunity and challenge for the Queensland community. While there is certainly room for additional solar PV installations in the Queensland network, further development is required on the Policy to ensure that Queensland takes a leadership role in best practice deployment of the next phase of solar. There is likelihood of a saturation point for domestic household market well inside the 1 million homes target; likewise continued PV system expansion needs consideration regarding the electricity cost efficiency; equity for solar and non-solar customers; technical limitations, innovation opportunities and broader community pricing impacts."
