Australia is a global leader in residential rooftop PV deployment, with more than 3 million small-scale PV systems installed, among the highest per capita rooftop PV penetration worldwide.
“Australia is now a global leader in residential rooftop PV deployment, with more than 3 million small-scale PV systems installed, among the highest per capita rooftop PV penetration worldwide [1][2][3].”
From Voltage Regulation in Rooftop PV-Rich Distribution Networks: A Review and Detailed Case Study (2026) · cites this paper as [1]
The Introduction reports that household PV penetration in Australia was around 33%, and the Method describes it as high. These passages support high residential uptake, but our copy does not state that more than 3 million systems were installed or compare Australia's per-capita penetration with other countries. No page numbers are available in the indexed passages. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
