Last week Manuela Londoño Ferro represented RayGen as a panelist at the ACES 2024 in Sydney, Australia, focusing on Long Duration Energy Storage. The session, led by Julia Souder, CEO of the Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES Council), featured Christiaan Zuur from Clean Energy Council as the main speaker, along with industry experts Sara Taylor from Hydrostor, Mark Croudace from MGA Thermal and Ava Hanock from Upper Hunter Hydro as panellists. The discussions highlighted the importance of enhancing LDES frameworks, developing electricity market products, securing funding mechanisms, and streamlining permit and planning processes to expedite LDES deployment. These technologies play a crucial role in advancing Australia's and the world's energy transition and decarbonization efforts. RayGen remains committed to collaborating with stakeholders to drive technology deployment and accelerate the decarbonization journey.

It has been a pleasure collaborating with the Bosch Australia Manufacturing Solutions (BAMS) team to support with the automated assembly of our innovative solar technology! We look forward to continuing this partnership with BAMS as RayGen prepares for large-scale deployment of our solar and storage solution.
We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with RayGen, a leader in solar and long-duration energy storage, to accelerate the assembly of their state-of-the-art concentrated solar technology. We are proud to contribute to this groundbreaking project and eagerly anticipate its potential in the renewable energy sector. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey.

Last week we were pleased to welcome Mr John Pesutto MP, Member for Hawthorn, together with Boroondara councillors and members of local climate action groups Electrify Boroondara and Lighter Footprints to our East Hawthorn module manufacturing facility. Our next gen PV Ultra modules will be deployed to utility scale solar plus storage projects across the globe. But our low material base, highly automated production process and small footprint manufacturing means we can locate in leafy Hawthorn, accessing a local, skilled workforce.

Clean Energy Council have released an insightful report 'The future of long duration energy storage' 📖 . Not only is it highlighting leading alternative LDES technologies like RayGen, but is also diving into scenario modelling and policy reforms to support the sector. Christiaan Zuur and Ana Spataru, Dr, thank you for driving the conversation and sharing your perspectives on the LDES market! 👇 https://lnkd.in/gFyTh8Ey

Thank you to RMIT University for hosting RayGen last night at the Melbourne City Campus. Our Systems Engineering Manager, Liam Fechner, was the guest lecturer to a group of final year students. During the lecture he shared with the students how RayGen creates concentrated solar for power generation, thermal storage systems, how to take energy storage to renewable energy on demand, large scale generation and much more. If you want to know more about RayGen and our technology follow our LinkedIn page. #engineeringstudent #renewableenergy #longdurationstorage #RMIT

Fantastic news for Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) last night with the Federal Government's announcement of over $22 billion in funding to boost Australia's transition to a #renewableenergy future! Congratulations to the entire team at ARENA for this incredible result - we are pleased to join the clean energy industry in celebrating this news and look forward to hearing more about the transformative projects ARENA will support!
I'm delighted to announce that the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has received a record $7.1 billion in new funding in tonight's federal budget. This funding builds on our existing work and track record of over nearly twelve years in delivering transformative projects that accelerate the energy transition. ARENA has an incredible team of dedicated professionals and we're excited to get to work on these new programs and ambitions.
Record funding for ARENA to supercharge Australia’s net zero transition

During the month of May, RayGen is raising employee awareness of cancer: mainly skin cancer as May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Read this post by Vanessa M. about the Big Tea Party that we are hosting, for our employees, in support of the Cancer Council Australia. #skincancerawareness #cancercouncil
During the month of May, RayGen is focusing on cancer awareness; mainly skin cancer as May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Thank you to Hannah Walton from MoleMap Australia & New Zealand for running a Lunch and Learn session recently to educate our employees about skin cancer. We are working with Mole Map to roll out a program of skin checks for our employees. On top of this activity, later this month we are hosting a Big Morning Tea party in aid of the Cancer Council Australia. You don't have to be a RayGen employee to take part in this event - check out their website for local events. Supporting this important charity is hugely important to me and the team at RayGen so please use the link below if you would like to donate. Thanks #skincancerawareness #cancercouncil #cancerawareness
