AB  - This paper outlines opportunities for, and barriers to, increasing PV deployment on apartment buildings in Australia. With PV penetration reaching 40% of residential dwellings in some parts of the country, access to renewable energy for the 14% of Australians who live in apartments has lagged behind. Installation of PV on apartment buildings can help relieve network congestion as well as reduce household energy bills, and with multi-unit dwellings accounting for 25% of new residential building, the opportunities are significant.
