The state of Queensland broke through the 2GW (gigawatt) level for rooftop solar installations in February, although it was overtaken for the first time in several years by New South Wales as the biggest market for installations.
Queensland added 28.874MW of rooftop solar in February, taking its cumulative total of 2.016GW, according to data from industry statistician SunWiz.
NSW is the second ranked state in terms of total deployment, with 1.47GW, but in the month of February pipped Queensland as the large market for the month with installations of 29.22MW.
As we reported on Thursday last week, Australia installed 118MW in total in February, confirming a super-fast start to the year that analysts say will almost certainly better the record 1057MW installed in 2017.
