Netherlands is at 4.2% solar to 14% in Australia.

15% of all Netherlands power is renewable/sustainable compared to 32% in Australia.

I'm struggling to find a good source, but Australia also has the highest per capita rooftop solar (residential PV) rate in the world. Australia also leads per capita solar consumption overall, although Netherlands is second so they are doing well there too: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-solar?tab=chart&country=ESP~IND~PRT~GBR~NZL~CHN~AUS~USA~JPN~NLD
