how solar energy is used
Most solar power in Australia is used where most of the population resides: on the Pacific coast. However, the area of Australia that greatly supports solar energy spans across Western Australia, Northern Territory, and South Australia.

Solar energy is used for heating and electricity.
Solar energy is a reusable/inexhaustible resource which means it can be used as much as you want without running out of the resource.
Solar Energy
The earth is protected from u-v radiation by the ozone layer. It helps in deflecting most of these solar rays back. But a hole has been formed in it just above Australia. This allows more solar energy to come into the atmosphere of the Earth. So more the energy, more the solar panels, and more the usage.
