Solar Cities - Catalyst for Change

The Australian Government is partnering with community and industry to trial a range of products and services under real-world conditions in seven 'Solar Cities' across Australia. This innovative Australian Government program has been conducting trials of business models and energy solutions since 2007 to inform public policy. Trials are being conducted in seven Solar Cities around Australia: Adelaide, Bankstown, Townsville, Central Victoria, Alice Springs, Moreland and Perth.

Solar Cities - Catalyst for Change is a background for future publications on results from the Solar Cities program. It sets the context by providing general information on the Solar Cities, the differences between them, the focus of their trials, the data being collected, and current trial results.
