Despite Australia's sunny climate, in 2017–18, solar power contributed only 0.3% to Australia’s total electricity generation. This highlights its relatively small role in energy production at the time despite growing interest in renewables.

According to Balafoutis et al. (2020), there willl be decrease in emmissions and increase in economic revenue. 60% stated that there will be a increase in revenue and 20% stated that there will be a large increase in revenue. This may be caused by the decrease in crop wastage and the decrease of inputs like irrigation, pesticides, fertilizer and labour.

According to the Bureau of Statistics, Employment in Australia's large scale, photovoltaic solar energy sector more than doubled (210 per cent) in 2017-18.

ABS Director for the Centre of Environmental and Satellite Accounts, Jonathon Khoo, said: “Across Australia, in 2017-18, the number of full time equivalent (FTE) jobs related to renewable energy activity grew by 28 per cent to a total of 17,740 FTE jobs."

"Over this period, we saw large scale solar projects - systems with an installed capacity of 100 kilowatts or greater - overtake hydroelectric power to become the second largest creator of renewable jobs, accounting for 16 per cent of jobs," Mr Khoo said.

"However, rooftop solar continues to be the main driver of employment in the sector, accounting for 46 per cent of jobs in in 2017-18."
