That headline is a bait and switch.

One of the major nuclear research facilities belonging to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO)’s is installing a major rooftop solar system that will save $2 million.

To be honest even if it was a power plant... they're already in the business of generating power. If generating more clean power in the same space is an option, that sounds great

Power plants still need power to operate and even your own supply is not free.
