As the great spectre of climate change continues to loom large over the future, the search for viable, renewable energy sources is becoming ever more important. Solar power has long been seen as a vital…
The World Solar Challenge (WSC) is a race held every two years in which roughly 40 teams race solar-powered cars from Darwin to Adelaide. I’m a member of the UNSW Solar Racing Team (called Sunswift). The…
On October 20 2011, the Tokai Challenger solar car drove quietly into Victoria Square in the centre of Adelaide, winning the 2011 World Solar Challenge. The car had crossed Australia from north to south…
Project: Develop hydrogen-based sustainable energy Cost: $20 million Timeframe: Seven years Finding real green energy is a vital area of research. Is there an energy that meets the needs of its users…
In news today, the Greens are calling for an end to federal funding for a proposed coal- and gas-fuelled power plant in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley. Others have suggested the plant provides a source of “transition…
A solar energy revolution is brewing that will put the coal and nuclear industries out of business. Solar is already reaching price parity with coal in many parts of Australia. In contrast to coal and…
Most people are familiar with solar energy generated by photovoltaic (PV) solar cells; they are the tiny PV cells on your calculator or the large PV installations that many people are installing on their…
Satellite observations have revealed that magnetic oscillations carrying energy from the Sun’s surface into its outer atmosphere…
A solar cell breakthrough promises to make solar power more affordable, with world-beating new technology delivering substantial…
A new software program that allows power grid managers to easily predict fluctuations in the solar grid caused by changes…
Australia has a huge solar energy resource. Solar collectors spread out over a square 50 km could generate all of Australia’s current electricity demand. Of course in practice, we would need a mix of renewable…
A flexible new solar sheet has been shown to capture more than 90% of available sunlight. Existing solar panels operate at…
