In July 2012 Australia had 1.7 gigawatts (GW) of rooftop solar PV capacity throughout the country. In total, over 750,000 homes (about 10% of those in the country) have installed solar panels to date. This number is still growing, with total installed capacity expected to hit 2.3Gw by the end of 2012.
