Rooftop solar installations across Australia steadied over the month of October, with a total of 62MW of capacity installed, according to industry analyst SunWiz.
Despite the stable volumes, the installation rate remained well below 2014 levels, with around 600MW installed during the year, down 11 per cent on the same period a year ago.
In the latest month, prices had edges slightly lower. System sizes grew to an average 5.2kW, but this was driven by sharp growth in the 75-100kW market as large commercial installations grew more popular.
