It is believed that no more than 30,000 Australian homes – a small fraction of 1 per cent – are generating electricity from rooftop solar panels.  The problem is the cost. The University of NSW says home owners can spend up to $20,000 installing 10 square metres of panels – enough to generate about two kilowatts of energy – to power lights, a refrigerator and most small electrical appliances, but not the stove or the hot-water system.
