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.
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 ]
Small-scale solar power (<100 kW) is the dominant contributor to Australia's overall solar electricity production as of 2022, producing 63% of solar's total electricity output (21,726 GWh of 34,446 GWh total). [3] In 2022, 2.7 GW of new small-scale capacity was installed across 310,352 installations, bringing total small-scale capacity to 19.39 GW.
Canadian Solar Australia / RE Oakey 25 Operating Oakey 1 (25MW) started exporting to the grid in March 2019. [92] Oakey 2 (55MW) had not started exporting to the grid as of July 2019. [93] Paget Solar Farm: BOMA Group
The Western Downs Green Power Hub is a large solar farm at the Kogan Creek Power Station near Chinchilla in Queensland, Australia. The photovoltaic solar power station uses one million solar panels to generate 400 megawatts of power. [2] It utilizes 72-cell bi-facial solar modules on single-axis trackers; a system that tracks the sun throughout ...
The solar panels were supplied by JA Solar Holdings. [2] It was jointly developed by ESCO Pacific and Palisade Investment Partners. [2] The power station is expected to have an operating life of up to 40 years. [2] A new 1.2km-long, 132 kV underground transmission line connects the power station to the grid and was laid by Powerlink Queensland. [2]
