Australia Solar Share of Electricity by Year 2010-2025

About This Dataset

Percentage of Australia's electricity generated from solar power in each year since 2010, as published by Ember. Each bar is one calendar year.

✨ AI Insight

Australia's solar share climbed from 0.39% in 2010 to 19.68% in 2025 without a single down year - the most consistent rise of any country in this collection. The curve steepens rather than flattens: it took nine years to reach 6.88% and only six more to add another 12.8 points. Australia's position is unusual because a large part of that solar sits on household rooftops rather than in utility farms, which is why its share has stayed ahead of far larger economies such as Germany and Italy.
