It’s on – again. Australia’s Commissioner of the Anti-Dumping Commission has announced a previously terminated investigation into the alleged dumping of solar panels from China in Australia will resume.

Dumping is said to have occurred when goods are exported to Australia at a price below the ‘normal value’ of those items; i.e. the value usually being the domestic price of the goods in the country of export. It’s a situation that may be remedied by the imposition anti-dumping tariffs and countervailing duties.

Australia is now home to more than 23.3 million solar panels- that’s at least one module for everyone in the country.

According to SunWiz, a solar consultancy firm, the 1,500,000th solar power system was installed on the 22nd of December, 2015.

Clean electricity is being generated by over 4.65 gigawatts of sub-capacity systems all over the country, and solar homeowners are saving loads of money on their power bills.

News of Tesla Energy’s partnerships keep coming, with solar installer Infinite Energy the latest to announce a deal with Tesla.

Customers throughout Western Australia will be able to pair the Tesla Powerwall battery storage system with solar PV in a system designed and installed by Infinite Energy.

The passion for renewables in Australia isn’t waning, but support for coal appears to be – particularly when it comes to new mines. This is a continuing trend among voters of all political leanings.

72-77% of voters recently polled in conservative electorates support Australia becoming a 100% renewable energy powered nation by 2030.
