Australian rooftop PV might face grid restraints
The capability to feed electrical energy from roof PV selections into Australia's circulation network may be seriously restricted in the future, as installments appear most likely to surpass assumptions. A Cornwall Insight projection sees some 24.45 GW of rooftop solar to be included with 2030-- a rate that increases the demand for a distribution-level market and may see connections cut in the future.

Neural networks improving solar power forecasting
An international research team has developed a new approach for solar power forecasting that combines neural networks and pattern sequences for the first time. The performance of the new Pattern Sequence Neural Network (PSNN) was tested on an Australian data set that includes information from two years of forecasts. It can be used with different clustering and cluster-sequence extraction algorithms, and can be applied to multiple related time sequences
