Conergy, one of the world’s largest downstream solar companies, is poised to set up a 10.8MWac large-scale solar PV plant fully integrated with 1.4MW/5.3MWh of lithium-ion battery storage in the Lakeland area in Australia.
Last year, the Victorian government made good on an election commitment to commence a process it said would help ensure the state’s solar households and businesses receive fair payment for the solar electricity they export to the mains grid.
LG Electronics has announced its first bifacial panel will be introduced in Australia later this year.
The Australian residential energy industry – which is now considered part of the “internet of things” – is broadly thought to be a key factor in the mass uptake of distributed renewables. Tech startup Evergen is one such innovator making the most of exciting changes in the industry with their new solar and battery storage optimisation platform.
