NSW to Double Payments for Hosting Transmission Lines, Many Landowners Remain Skeptical
The New South Wales (NSW) Government is looking to strengthen the grid to make way for the uptake of renewable energy. One of their strategies is to provide private landowners in the state $200,000 per kilometre when they host new transmission infrastructure on their land. On 25 October, the government proposed a new compensation strategy […]
Solar Power Tower: Use Molten Salt as an Energy Storage System
One of the most difficult tasks is to use renewable energy to decarbonise Australia’s industrial sector. One potential clean, renewable energy source is concentrated solar power or CSP systems. Australia needs to use solar concentrating electricity since it generates energy without releasing harmful greenhouse gasses. The solar power tower name comes from the fact that […]
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System: All You Need To Know
Photovoltaic is referred to as PV. Solar PV or Photovoltaic systems are constructed as investments that, once paid for, will provide free electricity during the daytime for its owner, resulting in cost savings in energy bills. Solar photovoltaic systems convert sunlight into electricity without greenhouse gas emissions. Solar PV systems have proven crucial in Australia’s […]
Spanish Researchers Develop a Way to Cool Solar Panels Underground
It’s easy to think that since Australia experiences a temperate climate, with an abundance of sunshine, that it’s the perfect place for solar. Hence, many households and businesses have solar systems installed—and the amount is growing. However, for those who haven’t taken the “solar” plunge, there’s one thing you need to know—too much sunshine is […]
Volt: Highest Energy-Generating Solar Roof Tile In World Launched By Australian Manufacturer
With the introduction of an Australian-engineered roof solar PV tile, able to produce the same amount of energy as a regular solar panel for a price comparable to more expensive rooftop solar systems, the evolution of the solar roof tile has taken a hopeful new direction. The roof solar tile, called Volt, was launched globally […]

Great Potential for Concentrated Solar Power Generation (CSP)
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a formidable and fascinating technique for producing solar energy on a massive scale. Despite being in use since the 1980s, it is still in its infancy and early stages, with innovation and efficiency enhancements actively being developed. Although CSP produces less electricity overall than Photovoltaic (PV) solar power, there is […]
