There was an article at Forbes recently that summarised a study which argued that the world could make significant inroads in clean energy by vastly expanding the amount of roof top solar panels - particularly in the densely populated parts of India and China, they argue.
I still say it should be a compulsory part of the building code in most of Australia, along with a minimum amount of home battery storage. An extra $20,000 or so on your average build (which is around $300,000) isn't going to kill anyone, especially when you get the savings on electricity and gas costs.

rooftop soalr makes economic sense but as yet batteries do not
Homer, depending on what you pay for electricity, they may either save a small amount of money over their lifetime, or at least come close to break even.
See this recent article about them.

But isn't the point of emissions reduction policy to reduce emissions - it's not to guarantee that everyone gets the cheapest electricity possible. If it's a little more expensive, but clean - that's OK.
Batteries wil make sense soon. government action will make it occur sooner
You were thinking of other types of solar? Own your stupidity Steve.
