Longi, Pertamina begin work on 1.4 GW solar cell, module factory in Indonesia

Chinese solar manufacturer Longi and Indonesian state-owned energy company Pertamina have started construction on a 1.4 GW solar cell and module production facility in West Java, Indonesia.

NZ government funding to support solar farm builds

The New Zealand government will provide a local council with more than $14 million in funding to help build a 2 MW solar farm and 4 MWh battery energy storage system to reduce the community’s current reliance on diesel generators for power.

GoodWe releases 112 kWh storage system for C&I solar

GoodWe has launched a 112 kWh battery energy storage system for commercial and industrial solar projects, featuring 96% round-trip efficiency and a 6,000-cycle lifespan. The system allows parallel connection for up to 450 kWh of total capacity.

How grant system is locking millions away from those doing heavy lifting

Australia’s grant system is working exactly as designed. And that’s the problem. Right now, if you’re a small business or a not-for-profit, there’s likely a funding stream available to help you test an idea, buy equipment or build capability. If you’re a multinational or a university, there’s even more. But if you sit in the middle, a commercially viable, medium-sized business with proven success, and the capacity to deliver major outcomes, you’re often left with nothing. This isn’t sour grapes, it’s missed opportunities.

Green hydrogen pilot plant launches in SA

A pilot hydrogen energy plant that will employ a novel approach by producing green hydrogen directly from water and sunlight, without relying on electrolysers or grid power, is on track to begin commissioning in South Australia next month.

Researchers report zinc-ion battery life breakthrough

Australian researchers are reporting a breakthrough with zinc-ion battery technology, developing a new method to significantly boost the structural stability of the cathode material that enables the battery to operate reliably for more than 5,000 charge-discharge cycles.
