Australia, the Land Down Under, is a very interesting and exciting place for renewable energy. The high levels of irradiance it receives makes it a great place for solar power to flourish. Australia has also seen its fair share of natural disasters caused at least in part by a warming planet.

As Australia continues on its journey to a clean energy economy, the rest of the world can observe what works and what causes challenges.
