Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents the footprint of the number of installations of small generation unit (SGU) solar panel systems and their rated output in kilowatts (kW). The data spans the months from January 2020 to June 2021 and includes the total over the months from 2001 to 2019. It is aggregated to Postal Areas (POAs) from the 2016 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

Every month the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) publishes small-scale renewable energy installation data files. These data files provide a list of SGU (small-scale solar panel, wind and hydro systems) and kW capacity by installed postcode, and solar water heaters (SWH) and air source heat pumps by installed postcode. The data represents all systems that have had certificates validly created against them. The data includes new installations, upgrades to existing systems and stand-alone (off-grid) systems. This data is not publicly available via the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Registry and does not include systems that are pending registration or have been failed by the CER.

For further information about this dataset, visit the data source:Clean Energy Regulator - Postcode Data for Small-scale Installations.

Please note:

  • A 12 month creation period for registered persons to create small-scale technology certificates applies under the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000. Therefore the 2019 and 2020 figures will continue to rise due to the 12 month creation period.

  • Small-scale technology certificates are calculated based on the life of the system. This differs for solar hot water heaters and small generation units (solar panels, wind and hydro).

  • This data is current as at 30-06-2021.

  • Further information can be found at theRenewable Energy Target FAQ.

  • Capacity data has been revised to account for past data entry errors which caused significant inconsistencies. These systems were installed between 2001 and 2003. As a result of this revision, the cumulative installed capacity from 2004 onwards has been reduced by 5.517MW. AURIN has made the following change to the original data:

  • Spatially enabled the original data by joining the data with the 2016 ASGS POAs
