A solar hot water panel and integrated tank on a house roof, 2006. The Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme was a program that paid domestic and other small energy customers for the surplus electricity generated from roof-top solar photovoltaic (PV) systems exported to the Queensland grid.
Solar farms in New South Wales earn significantly more for their size than solar farms in other states. [93] Two new solar farms with capacity to produce enough energy to supply 50,000 homes are currently being developed by Hanwha Energy Australia. [94] 2021 Amp Energy closes funding for 120MW solar project in New South Wales. [95]
This is a list of solar farms in Queensland. There has been significant growth in this area recently, with an estimated 17298 MW of solar capacity either operational, planned or under construction.

The Solar Bonus Scheme ran from 2008 [48] to 2013, and rooftop solar is now in 27% of detached homes in south-east Queensland totalling more than 937MW of solar panels. [49] Over 1/3 of owners now receive 6.4 cents per kilowatt hour for surplus power fed back to the grid, and the remaining still receive the scheme's 44c/kWh. [50]
While in spirit this is a feed-in tariff, several conditions affect project size and commissioning date. The tariff for solar PV projects is fixed at ₹ 17.90 (US$0.397)/kWh. Tariff for solar thermal projects is fixed ₹ 15.40 (US$0.342/kWh). The tariff will be reviewed periodically by the CERC.
Initially there was a limit of 3000 kWh per year. Later this limit was increased to 5000 kWh. The limit was removed altogether on January 1, 2014. [42] Italy offers a support scheme, mixing net-metering and a well segmented premium FiT. [43] Slovenia has annual net-metering since January 2016 for up to 11 kVA.
The Clare Solar Farm is a solar farm located 35 kilometres south-west of Ayr at Clare in North Queensland, Australia. The 125 megawatt DC power station is owned by Lighthouse Solar. [1] Construction commenced in 2016 [2] and was complete by May 2018. It features 393,300 single-axis tracking panels spread over 300 hectares. [3]
The Shockley–Queisser limit only applies to conventional solar cells with a single p-n junction; solar cells with multiple layers can (and do) outperform this limit, and so can solar thermal and certain other solar energy systems. In the extreme limit, for a multi-junction solar cell with an infinite number of layers, the corresponding limit ...
