Turnbull says own rooftop solar not inconsistent with 'clean-coal' message

Prime minister agrees his personal 14.5kW system on the roof of his Sydney home, with battery storage, is a 'large array'

Malcolm Turnbull has hit back at suggestions that his house's large personal rooftop solar and battery system sends a message contrary to the government's endorsement of "clean coal".

He rejected the idea that he had ever been critical of the renewables sector and dismissed his treasurer's brandishing of a lump of coal in question time as "theatrics".
