We the undersigned request that Federal and State governments specify that the provision of new rooftop solar and the maintenance of existing solar is an essential energy provision service and shall continue to be supported and delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic.

So what does COVID-19 have to do with rooftop solar? A lot, if we want to ensure that solar remains accessible, affordable, and the cleanest energy form available during this uncertain and unstable time. #SolarIsEssential

In response to COVID-19, the Clean Energy Council is requesting that the governments clearly recognise the essential nature of the construction/installation, operation and maintenance of renewable energy and energy storage including rooftop solar PV.

Australia has been devastated by unprecedented fires over the past few months, and we’d like to reassure you that Solar Analytics is here for you. If your solar system and monitoring device has been destroyed by the recent bushfires, we will replace your Solar Smart Monitor device and have it installed in  your meter board again free of charge. If you have been affected by fire, smoke haze or dust, please read our following advice.

Solar Analytics looked at the impact of heavy smoke haze on solar PV output during the bushfires and found significant losses.
