We talk to Peter Leeson about the rise and rise of his Australian made Volt solar tile, which is being installed on rooftops in every state in Australia – and setting records overseas.

UNSW study shows pre-cooling homes using daytime rooftop PV can cut summer energy bills, improve thermal comfort and ease problems of excess solar on the grid.

A working community and children's farm will further slash emissions and energy costs with a 5kW wind turbine and battery energy storage system.

Latest data from SunWiz shows average rooftop PV system sizes hitting a new all-time high. Is the message to "cover the roof" with panels getting through?

Rebates of up to $1,000 on offer for households that swap out costly and inefficient gas appliances for energy efficient electric alternatives.

Network company completes first phase of "first-of-a-kind" community microgrid designed to power two coastal communities during grid outages.

Moving homes away from gas is an important step in the net-zero transition. Careful management is needed to ensure it is effective, accepted and fair.

Australia excels in solar R&D and uptake – but can it become a major supplier of panels? We ask APVI's Muriel Watt. Plus: solar strife in the regions and a new home battery scheme.

The $8,800 interest free battery loan can, in some cases, wipe out upfront installation costs altogether and boost annual power bill savings to $1500.

Sustainable household scheme attracts 13,000 households looking to improve their home’s energy efficiency and reduce its environmental impact.

Australian start-up launches its first dedicated small-scale residential battery, a 48V 5.12kWh battery that can be easily stacked to increase capacity.

People can save considerable money by switching away from gas – even more so if they have solar panels installed. But still, millions of Australians haven’t yet made the move. Why?

Australian solar outfit 5B has speed-delivered a 2.1MW solar system to help power an off-grid iron ore mining operation in WA's Pilbara region.

One of Australia's leading developers of stand-alone integrated renewable energy power systems gets a funding boost and a renewed focus.

A community led program brings together products and information to help households go all-electric in a state where roughly 80% of homes use gas.

New modelling shows that households in Victoria can save up to 75% on their winter heating bills – just by switching from gas to electric.
