A study from the Institute for Essential Services Reform and Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs explores how Indonesia can turn its target of deploying 100 GW of solar from mandate to mobilisation.

Enphase Energy has introduced to Australia and New Zealand an artificial intelligence software platform that helps homeowners reduce costs, up clean energy self-consumption and grant control of key home appliances.

While the world reels from interruption to crude oil supply chains, a new International Energy Agency report shows clean energy technology manufacturing supply chains are at risk, largely due to the world’s reliance on China’s advanced manufacturing and distribution expertise.

The Australian Rooftop Valuation Report, published alongside the official launch of AI-powered platform GreenSketch, finds Australian homes could be saving a collective $26 billion a year on electricity through solar – more than $3,000 annually for an average household.

Researchers from two Australian universities have demonstrated that ultra-low-cost solar could deliver to national energy systems 1,000 TWh per year for domestic use and 2,600 TWh per year for export.

The Nexis solution combines a flexibly configurable hybrid inverter with a modular high-voltage battery offering up to 14 kW charging capacity per stack. The inverter delivers 8–20 kW AC power, supports up to 200% DC oversizing, and features IP65-rated design with integrated backup power.

The K2 MultiRail High mounting system is a one-piece elevated solution with a height of 100 mm tailored to improve rear ventilation on metal roofs. K2 Systems says greater distance between modules and metal roof surface improves airflow and lowers module temperature, which can translate to higher annual energy yield.

The $25 million NSW-federal government Solar for Apartment Residents program is ending 30 March 2026, with almost 140 projects taking advantage of the scheme but less than a third of available funds utilised to date, including for two Sydney apartment building projects in Newtown and Camperdown awarded to local installer, Solarhart.
