Australia installs 435 MW of residential rooftop solar in April

SolarNews Brief

Australia installed 435 MW of residential rooftop PV in April 2026, a 30% month-on-month increase, according to SunWiz data cited by pv magazine. The surge came just before changes to the Cheaper Home Batteries Program took effect on May 1.

The market cooled in May, falling 22% from April, but remained 46% higher than May 2025 as larger PV systems increasingly pair with home battery storage. SunWiz noted that the 10 kW to 15 kW residential segment remains the market backbone at about 121 MW, or roughly 36% of installations. The data points to a structural shift in Australia: household solar growth is increasingly being pulled by battery economics, electrification, and EV-ready load planning.
