The total number of solar hot water systems in Australia has topped more than 1.4 million, but the installation rate is at its lowest in 10 years, according to the Clean Energy Regulator (CER). The figures showed that 33,000 systems had been installed so far this year in Australia, which could result in the lowest total since 2006 when almost 36,000 were installed. Over 2.5 million small-scale systems have been installed throughout Australia since 2001, with the capacity to generate or displace about 9.5 million MWh of electricity per year, enough to power one million households.
