In partnership with the Global Solar Council and the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, Solar Citizens is part of a global campaign to double rooftop solar by 2030 to 300 million solar homes.

We support a proposed Global Rooftop & Household Solar Pledge for adoption at the COP31 International Climate Conference in Turkiye this November. *

This is urgent and timely as the global fuel crisis is driving the need for energy affordability and independence across the world.

Read the Pledge and see which organisations support it being part of the COP31 Action Agenda,  and how your organisation can sign up.

Need for Australian leadership

The COP 31 International Climate Conference is a key opportunity to advance rooftop and household solar for all.

Minister Chris Bowen is the President of Negotiations and can make this part of his Action Agenda

We are calling on Minister Bowen to champion rooftop household and solar solutions at the PreCOP meeting in Fiji and COP31 in Turkiye - armed with these facts:

• Australia has proven its rooftop solar success through installing 29GW of rooftop solar with over 4.3million households and small businesses now generating electricity
• Rooftop solar contributes approx 14.2% of the NEM in the second of 2025 and provided more than 60% of new electricity generation
• Electricity costs for consumers were $3bn lower in the last year due to rooftop solar

Our regional opportunity

The Asia region is suffering the biggest impact of the global fuel crisis as it relies on fuel shipments that have been impacted by the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. 

The region urgently needs electrification led by rooftop and household solar - as the fastest and cheapest pathway.

The biggest opportunity for rooftop solar installation between now and 2030 is in the Asia Pacific region - India, Indonesia and throughout the rest of Asia, where global share is estimated to be 55-60% (80-95million rooftops) - see Global Solar Council Research Summary

The Pacific is dependent on diesel for its energy generation and relies on diplomatic relationships to secure its fuel sources during the current fuel crisis and similarly could benefit hugely from a transition to renewable energy. 

*NOTE: similar to the COP28 Dohar Pledge to triple renewable energy and energy efficiency which 133 nations have committed to.
