CER - Small-scale Installations - Small Generation Unit - Solar Panel (POA) 2019

This dataset presents the footprint of the number of installations of small generation unit (SGU) solar panel systems and their rated output in kilowatts (kW). The data spans the months of 2019 and includes a total for the year. The data is aggregated to Postal Areas (POAs) from the 2016 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).\n\nEvery month the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) publishes small-scale renewable energy installation data files. These data files provide a list of SGU (small-scale solar panel, wind and hydro systems) and kW capacity by installed postcode, and solar water heaters (SWH) and air source heat pumps by installed postcode. The data represents all systems that have had certificates validly created against them. The data includes new installations, upgrades to existing systems and stand-alone (off-grid) systems. This data is not publicly available via the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Registry and does not include systems that are pending registration or have been failed by the CER.\n\nFor further information about this dataset, visit the data source:[Clean Energy Regulator - Postcode Data for Small-scale Installations](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/RET/Forms-and-resources/Postcode-data-for-small-scale-installations).\n\nPlease note:\n\n * A 12 month creation period for registered persons to create small-scale technology certificates applies under the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000. Therefore the 2019 and 2020 figures will continue to rise due to the 12 month creation period.\n\n * Small-scale technology certificates are calculated based on the life of the system. This differs for solar hot water heaters and small generation units (solar panels, wind and hydro). \n\n * This data is current as at 28-02-2021.\n\n * Further information can be found at the[Renewable Energy Target FAQ](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/RET/Forms-and-resources/Renewable-Energy-Target-FAQs).\n\n * Capacity data has been revised to account for past data entry errors which caused significant inconsistencies. These systems were installed between 2001 and 2003. As a result of this revision, the cumulative installed capacity from 2004 onwards has been reduced by 5.517MW.\n AURIN has made the following change to the original data:\n\n * Spatially enabled the original data by joining the data with the [2016 ASGS POAs](https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/by%20Subject/1270.0.55.003~July%202016~Main%20Features~Postal%20Areas%20(POA)~8)\n

本数据集呈现了小型发电单元（small generation unit, SGU）光伏面板系统的安装数量及其以千瓦（kW）为单位的额定输出功率的统计概况。数据覆盖2019年全年度各月份，并包含年度总计值。所有数据均按照2016年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）中的邮政区域（Postal Areas, POAs）进行聚合。

澳大利亚清洁能源监管局（Clean Energy Regulator, CER）每月发布小型可再生能源安装数据文件。此类文件按安装邮编罗列了SGU（小型光伏面板、风电及水力发电系统）的千瓦级装机容量，以及太阳能热水器（solar water heaters, SWH）和空气源热泵的相关安装信息。本数据集收录的系统均已合法取得相关证书，涵盖全新安装、既有系统升级及离网独立系统三类场景。该类数据无法通过可再生能源证书（Renewable Energy Certificate, REC）登记系统公开获取，且未包含待登记或被澳大利亚清洁能源监管局驳回的系统。

请注意：
* 根据《2000年可再生能源（电力）法案》，登记主体开具小型技术证书的周期为12个月。受此周期影响，2019年与2020年的统计数据仍将持续增长。
* 小型技术证书的核发额度以系统使用寿命为计算依据，其中太阳能热水器与小型发电单元（光伏面板、风电及水力系统）的计算规则存在差异。
* 本数据的更新截止时间为2021年2月28日。
* 更多相关信息可查阅[可再生能源目标常见问题解答](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/RET/Forms-and-resources/Renewable-Energy-Target-FAQs)。
* 此前的数据录入错误曾导致装机容量数据出现显著不一致，现已完成修正。涉事系统均安装于2001年至2003年期间。经此次修正，2004年起的累计装机容量下调了5.517兆瓦（MW）。

澳大利亚城市与区域研究基础设施网络（AURIN）对原始数据作出如下调整：
* 将原始数据与[2016年ASGS邮政区域](https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/by%20Subject/1270.0.55.003~July%202016~Main%20Features~Postal%20Areas%20(POA)~8)进行关联，为原始数据赋予空间属性。
