Developing large scale solar (PV and CST) technologies for a global market

We’re making solar a reliable, stable power source for Australia’s energy future.

Our Solar Technologies team in Newcastle works on new technologies for power generation and energy storage. We are leading the way in next-generation solar cells, and concentrated solar thermal (CST) research, specialising in high-temperature central receiver systems. We’re developing this technology for a global market.

Solar panels

Not too hot, not too cold. What’s ‘just right’ for solar PV?

You might think that solar panels would work best in summer, when there’s more sunshine. But how hot is too hot for effective solar generation?
