Solar on residential rooftops is popular for saving on electricity bills, which rose in the mid-2020s. Solar is also suitable for many small and medium-sized enterprises. At the beginning of 2022 there was 1.2 GW of household solar, of which it is estimated 280 MW had been destroyed by the end of 2024. The IEA estimate that if all (excluding north-facing) roofs had panels 290 TWh could be generated.
