N2  - We have available to us an abundant, free energy resource: the sun delivers more energy to the Earth in one hour than humanity uses in an entire year. However, solar power only accounts for about 0.7% of the world&#x2019;s energy supply (US Energy Information Administration, 2013). Even in Victoria the solar resource is world class, with average annual irradiance on par with the sunniest parts of Europe. The north-west of the state has a solar resource as good as Arizona, California and Nevada, but in 2012 solar electricity only provided 1.1% of our electricity demand (Clean Energy Council 2013, Renewable Electricity in Victoria Report 2012).
