About the Host Workplace
Halocell Australia is at the forefront of driving the transition to Net Zero by revolutionising solar energy harvesting. Traditional photovoltaic (PV) technologies have long been limited by their dependency on direct sunlight and flat, outdoor surfaces, restricting their ability to generate power efficiently in many everyday environments. Halocell breaks through these barriers by specialising in capturing light in conditions where conventional solar panels simply can’t perform.
