Making solar a reliable, stable power source for Australia's energy future – including solar thermal and photovoltaics.

Photovoltaics

We are leading the way in the development of low cost, environmentally friendly production methods and flexible materials that could change how and where photovoltaic energy can be generated.

Solar cooling

We are developing new technologies and systems which use solar thermal energy to provide low emission cooling - or heating - for buildings and refrigeration for food storage.

Solar thermal

We are leading the way in concentrated solar thermal (CST) research, specialising in high-temperature central receiver systems.

Solar Hackathon

We brought together solar-minded hackers from across the country to drive innovation for our energy future.
