Oceania too: Australia installed 442 MW of residential solar and 2.5 GWh of residential batteries in the month of April alone. Both numbers are partly juiced by changes to a rebate program from May, but the overall trend remains explosive growth.

- jorblumesea 4mo agovery jealous of how cheap AUS solar prices are. < $1 AUD per watt after rebate
- BLKNSLVR 4mo agoDon't be jealous of our peak power price though: $0.56/kWh (I have a battery though, so I rarely pay full tote - which is one of the reasons I got a battery)

- greendave 4mo agoNot jealous but that’s no worse than much of California (assuming those were USD you quoted, not AUD).
- Andaith 4mo agoI'd have assumed it was AUD, and even then it's high. I pay 0.28/kWh AUD in Sydney. That'd be 0.2/kWh USD.
- BLKNSLVR 4mo agoThat's AUD, so maybe California's a (fair) bit worse then. I always thought the US had pretty darn cheap power. Looks like California's maximum peak rate is US$0.74/kWh (without including the baseline credit), which is equivalent to AUD$1.04/kWh Yeahnah, I don't know what I'm complaining about then. Get solar panels, get batteries!
- jorblumesea 4mo agowow, that's really high. average price for the us is maybe $0.25 kwh adjusted for AUD
- nashashmi 4mo agoWe pay like 30 cents in USD per kw.
- WillPostForFood 4mo agoAverage price is $0.19 in the US. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU000072610 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU000072610
- glaucon 4mo agoWhich is pretty much what Australian average price is. Average Australian domestic tariff is around AUD 0.30/kwh which is USD 0.21/kwh. None of this touches on standing charges, I don't know how that works in the USA, in Australia for an average household it runs at AUD 1.00/day to AUD 1.50/day (USD 0.70/day to USD 1.00/day). For an average household the standing charge is going to add 15 to 20% to the tariff.
- Loughla 4mo agoI'm assuming that standing charges are like meter fees here. I've paid as low as $0.25/day and as high as $1.25/day depending on where I lived. There's not much uniformity.
- throwaway27727 4mo agoYou're confusing the price of electricity with the price of solar panels and/or installation, which is what parent comment intended.

- dyauspitr 4mo agoDepends on where you are in the US. I pay 11 cents during peak and 7 cents during off hours.
- dyauspitr 4mo agoYep, India installed 4 GWh of solar in just the month of April as well.

- beAbU 4mo agoSolar installation capacity is measured in watts, not watt-hours. So the unit you should he using here is GW, not GWh. Pushes glasses up nose well actually, we should use GWp, but that's not really a unit and good ol' watts should suffice.
