Rooftop solar is a proven Australian success story. It’s fast, fair, and delivers clean, cheap energy for households and businesses. Over one-third of Australian homes are now generating their own power from the sun, and sharing it with their neighbours.
Now it’s time to double down on what works.

Launching our Rooftop Solar Pledge at COP30
☀️ Solar Citizens are taking the Raise the Roof campaign global alongside the Global Solar Council’s 300 million solar rooftop advocacy.
Scaling Rooftop Solar will fast-tracking emissions reduction, providing households with cost of living relief, and boosting community power and resilience.
Raise the Roof invites other civil society groups across the Asia-Pacific Region to join a Rooftop Solar Alliance. This collaborative network will support nations to adopt their own Rooftop Solar Pledges at COP31 In 2026.
