Loading Solar Analytica
A source-backed feed of operating events, market movements and verified research releases. Each signal names the measurement, the source and the decision it changes.
Automated event ledger
Each event is generated from a defined threshold or a previous-record comparison. It names the measurement and source without presenting the detection as a causal conclusion.

A new brief reads AEMO's ten-year Expected scenario alongside the observed SWIS record without treating forecast capacity, VPP behaviour or demand as measured outcomes.
Read the releaseWhy it matters
The near-term 347 MW forecast surplus in 2028-29 and the forecast shortfall from 2029-30 are planning scenarios whose delivery and modelling assumptions remain explicit.
Affected
Signals are not a news stream. They are a concise record of releases and verified changes that move the available evidence, its method or the way a decision should be read.

Product evidence
The monitored record now holds current Australian module, inverter and battery files plus the California PV module list, with source versions and retrieval times retained.
Decision read
An exact-model absence is now returned only after the required source baseline for that jurisdiction is complete; later source versions generate additions, removals, relistings, expiries and changed-detail events.

Research standard
Grid Mix now distinguishes provider annual releases, versioned ledger rows and fixed published snapshots, while the methodology names licensed inputs instead of making a blanket public-source claim.
Decision read
Readers can distinguish observation year, publisher status and retrieval date before carrying a figure into another decision or model.

SWIS reference
The two recent CER installation windows are retained as recorded cohorts but are no longer interpreted as demand momentum; the 2025 ABS population value is marked preliminary and 2022-2024 revised.
Decision read
The reference edition remains citable while preventing recent STC validation lag or preliminary population estimates from being mistaken for settled market change.
Data release
Energy data
Each Grid Mix Monitor system now has a monthly transition view from 2016, joining Ember generation and carbon-intensity series to a named NASA POWER solar-resource reference point.
Decision read
The monitor can now distinguish a lasting change in market mix from a single bright or dim month, while keeping the boundary clear: reference-point irradiance is not yet a capacity-weighted national solar index.
Data release
Energy data
A new open comparison surface tracks the 2025 annual generation mix, renewable share, solar share and carbon intensity across ten selected electricity systems.
Decision read
The operating context for solar can now be compared across systems without confusing annual national generation with real-time dispatch or every sub-grid within a country.
Data release
Market structures
The first quarterly capture ledger covers all 60 bidirectional batteries registered in the National Electricity Market, with commissioning units flagged separately from full-quarter assets.
Decision read
The gap between a perfect-foresight spread reference and observed energy-only capture is now measurable by region, duration and asset context rather than left as a model assumption.
Publication
Market structures
Solar Analytica begins a dedicated line for the indices, spreads and realised capture that frame storage revenue cases, starting with a transparent NEM battery reference.
Decision read
The research scope now reaches beyond the asset and its resource into the market arrangements that determine what an operating system can actually capture.
Data release
Solar economics
The price-times-yield join is now available as an interactive reference across 28 matched markets, sortable by value, sunlight and retail price.
Decision read
It makes the demand side of solar economics visible: retail tariffs move annual grid-offset value far more than the spread in sunlight alone.
Publication
Production climate
The annual synthesis closes the first production-climate series, joining the latest readings for heat, sky conditions, variability, soiling, wind and physical risk.
Decision read
Climate belongs in an operating assumption set, not as a single headline risk: its effects on PV vary materially by location, technology and time horizon.
Data release
Solar economics
The demand-side dataset tracks household retail tariffs across 92 cities and 70 countries from 2016 to 2025, preserving confidence notes where a local series is less certain.
Decision read
A credible solar-market screen needs both the resource and the price it displaces. High sun alone is not a proxy for household solar value.
Research access is being developed for teams that need recurring data releases, evidence packs and exportable working material.
