Australia's solar power boom could almost double capacity in a year, analysts say

Solar farm approvals and record rooftop installations expected to 'turbo-boost' production

A record-breaking month of rooftop installations and a flood of large-scale solar farms could almost double Australia's solar power capacity in a single year, industry analysts say.

A massive solar energy boom is being predicted for 2018, after an unprecedented number of industrial solar farms were approved by the New South Wales and Queensland governments last year.
