As the Australian solar energy industry continues to grow and research in the field expands with it, the cost of the renewable energy technology decreases. Martin Green, director of the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics...
Ballina in Australia, while also being the first to introduce a solar-powered public electric vehicle (EV) charging station, recently launched a 45kW solar carpark despite an increasingly anti-renewable political environment. Installed at Knockrow tourist attraction, Macadamia Castle,...
Good news to all Australians who use solar! According to the Australian Photovoltaic Institute the country has generated over 4GW of energy from small-scale solar installations. This came only a few days after the APVI revealed the remarkable feat...
Climate change is all over the news, but just how reliable are the facts and figures the media toss around? Now with a new Climate Feedback app, it’s possible for scientists to hold journalists accountable...
A staggering 3 GW of rooftop solar PV systems have been installed in Australia over the past few years. The figures were released by the Clean Energy Regulator, the organization tasked with the supervision of renewable...
In a brief moment, rooftop solar power negatively changed electricity prices in Queensland. Currently known for its extensive use of coal power which provides more than 80 per cent of its electricity, Australia will someday...
