Will solar power boom or bust this spring and summer?

The first day of spring is nearly here and solar power is set to soar as the warm and sunny months of the year are upon us.   During spring the days will slowly becoming longer and warmer as we approach the spring equinox in late September. The spring equinox is the tipping point where days become longer than nights in the Southern Hemisphere, increasing the potential for solar generation across Australia.   Data from OpenNEM shows that solar output (rooftop and utility) was the highest in summer 2022, followed closely by spring 2022, in the NEM each year since 2018. The graphs below show the total seasonal solar contribution (rooftop and utility) to the NEM.  Image: Seasonal comparison of Rooftop and Utility solar power (GW/h). Data sourced: OpenNEM, AEMO, APVI.   The graph above shows that solar generation is the highest in summer each year, as longer days expand the production window.  These graphs also show that total solar generation has been incr
