ARENA is committing $3.2 million towards two tech projects advancing ultra low-cost solar. PV Lighthouse will receive $1.97 million funding to expand their SunSolve software. This will increase the software’s accuracy in predicting future electricity generation. Built Robotics will receive $1.3 million funding towards their autonomous piling robots project. This makes installing solar cheaper and faster. Both projects use cutting-edge technology to improve solar PV manufacturing and energy generation. This marks significant progress in making solar more efficient and quicker to deploy in Australia. This funding helps achieve ARENA’s vision of ultra low-cost solar. Solar plays a vital role in cementing Australia’s potential as a leader in renewable energy. Learn more about the funded projects: https://lnkd.in/g2Urb269 These robotic and software projects are great examples of the innovative ideas that we’re looking for in the Solar ScaleUp Challenge. If this sounds inspiring, join the Challenge and your project could access a grant pool of up to $100 million: https://lnkd.in/di-X67sn Image courtesy of Built Robotics. #ARENA #Solar #SolarPV #SolarInnovation #SolarTech #RenewableEnergy

Where does Australia stand in the global renewable energy transition? Last week, the Clean Energy Council's Australian Clean Energy Summit brought together key players in the energy transition from Australia and around the world. Leaders came together to explore solutions to the challenges and the opportunities that lie ahead. ARENA’s Darren Miller, Zoe von Batenburg and Alexandra McIntosh led panels and gave keynotes at the event, discussing Australia’s role in the global race to net zero. Australia's renewable energy superpower ambitions were put on notice by summit speakers, stating “optimism is not strategy” and access to resources on its own will not be enough. Achieving this vision will need collaboration between government, industry and communities across Australia. Continuing this work and these conversations is vital to ARENA's focus as we accelerate towards a net zero future. #ACES2024

Barwon Water will breathe new life into byproduct from hydrogen production. ARENA is providing up to $3 million for Barwon Water to trial the use of pure oxygen in its wastewater treatment process. This oxygen is a byproduct of renewable hydrogen production. This innovative trial will capture oxygen from Viva Energy Australia’s electrolyser, transport it to Barwon Water‘s nearby Geelong treatment plant. The typically discarded oxygen will then be used to produce recycled water. With over 1,200 wastewater treatment plants across the country, trial results could show how these types of collaborations can uncover innovative solutions towards cutting emissions and reaching net zero.
