People centred solutions for a fast, effective and affordable energy transition
As the world rapidly approaches the climate tipping point of 1.5degrees, we need solutions that can be deployed quickly to cut emissions and deliver affordable, reliable energy for millions of people.
Rooftop solar and storage is doing just that.
This report by the Rooftop Solar Alliance looks at the growth of household rooftop solar and provides a roadmap to accelerating this growth across eight locations across the Asia-Pacific and Brazil and sets out practical actions governments can take to support this people-powered transition.
One message is clear: governments need to recognise the transformational potential of rooftop solar backed by storage. By putting in place the targeted programs, streamlined regulations, supportive market frameworks, strong consumer protections and investment in workforce skills, together we can scale this accessible, empowering renewable energy faster, flexibly and more fairly.
The report provides eight national action plans for national governments to elevate rooftop solar backed by storage as a global climate and development priority at COP31 and beyond.

The Rooftop Solar Alliance is a growing network of civil society organisations working together to help more people and communities benefit from rooftop and distributed solar and battery storage.
We share evidence, pathways and practical solutions to enable uptake to scale the implementation of rooftop solar backed by storage. At the heart of our work is a simple belief: together we can empower 300 million solar homes to benefit from affordable, renewable energy by 2030.
The 300 Million Solar Homes initiative is driving global action to scale rooftop solar to 300 million systems by 2030, across homes, small businesses and community buildings.
The initiative aims to mobilise industry, cities, citizens, finance institutions, and governments to help deliver 300 million solar and storage rooftops by 2030, supporting the COP28 global objective to triple renewable energy by 2030, by unlocking the policies, finance and action needed to bring affordable and reliable electricity to people globally through rooftop and household solar and battery storage.
