In Australia, residential photovoltaics continue to grow alongside the increasingly rapid adoption of energy storage systems. In the first six months of 2026, the country installed nearly 1.9 GW of new rooftop photovoltaic capacity, setting a new half-year record.
Growth is being seen both in installed capacity and in the number of households choosing to generate energy from their own rooftops. During the same period, the home battery market recorded more than 276,000 new installations, showing growing interest in a more flexible approach to managing the electricity generated.
The integration of photovoltaic modules and storage systems makes it possible to use part of the solar energy even when the system is not generating electricity, expanding self-consumption opportunities.
This evolution highlights the central role of residential rooftops in the energy transition. The choice of photovoltaic modules, system configuration and integration with the needs of the home become key elements of every project: areas on which Peimar focuses its attention through solutions designed for different residential applications.
