Australia now leads the world on Solar per person – but we need to solve this problem

Australia leads the world in rooftop solar per capita, with 28.3 GW of installed capacity across 4.3 million homes — a remarkable clean energy achievement. However, as adoption surges, the grid must evolve from a traditional one-way system to a flexible two-way network, as curtailment — where excess solar power cannot be exported due to insufficient grid capacity — is becoming increasingly common. Transmission infrastructure is now considered the “missing link,” with experts urging accelerated upgrades to unlock the full potential of Australia’s solar boom.
