Numbers from @energycouncilau: if 2020 shows the same ultimate proportional increase as 2019 did, I roughly estimate nearly 9,500 rooftop PV + battery installations this year.

Tricky to match up numbers between sources, but this would be a portion of 28,000 total home battery installations - 280 megawatt hours - forecast by Sunwiz https://www.medianet.com.au/releases/185115/
Compare this to predictions of e.g. 581 MWh (roughly 56,400)... https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/australias-energy-storage-capacity-more-than-doubles-to-1.2-gwh-in-2020

...after the predictions of 70,000 installations in 2019 https://reneweconomy.com.au/australia-tipped-to-add-70000-home-batteries-in-2019-lead-global-demand-64414/ turned out to be 22,661 (233 MWh).
Predictions have been way less restrained in the past but it's never been helpful... https://wattclarity.com.au/articles/2020/06/why-have-home-battery-forecasts-been-staggeringly-wrong-for-years/
...especially when the industry is beginning to recognise how the momentum of rooftop solar may rest on what happens with batteries https://www.solarquotes.com.au/blog/batteries-solar-future/
Not what analysts hope will happen - what actually happens.

Which primarily comes down to cost, and what's happened there hasn't tracked hopes at all yet.
