More Solar My School Installations Roll Out In Sydney’s East
Bondi Beach Public School sporting new solar panels
An initiative in Sydney helping schools to make the switch to solar power has racked up another couple of PV installations. [Read more…]
AEC Report: Solar Installations Up, Battery Installs Down in 2020
The Australian Energy Council publishes a report on solar every quarter. I’ve just read through the latest one. There are only 11 pages of text and graphics, so it’s not too much of an effort if you want to read the whole thing yourself here.
But since we live a world where everyone is as busy as bees — except for people stuck at home in Melbourne — I’ll make use of my surplus of serenity by summarizing the report. [Read more…]
Big-ish Battery For Remote NT Community
A large battery energy storage system to be installed at Titjikala in the Northern Territory is expected to pay for itself within 5 years. [Read more…]
Australian Energy Statistics (Electricity Generation) For 2019
The Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources has released electricity generation statistics covering last year in Australia that show solar energy’s continued ascent and coal power’s ongoing decline. [Read more…]
Another Step Towards Sun Cable
Guardian Geomatics announced last week it had been awarded a cable route survey contract by Sun Cable for a proposed major PV project that will see solar electricity generated in Australia exported to Singapore. [Read more…]
Risen Energy Providing Solar Panels For Bushfire Relief Efforts
Risen Energy Australia says it will supply its solar panels for modular solar and energy storage systems being rolled out in bushfire affected communities. [Read more…]
Raw Deal For New NT Solar Owners And Installers
The Northern Territory’s distinction as having the hands-down best solar feed in tariff has been lost for new system owners. Installing solar will still be worth it, but payback will be significantly extended. [Read more…]
AC? DC! Why SunCable Chose DC To Export Aussie Sun to Singapore
Millions of solar panels sending Australian solar energy to Singapore via a 3,800 km cable. Crazy or genius?
I first learned about how the electricity grid works in the early 1980s, which meant I was taught the conventional wisdom of the times: high-voltage AC (alternating current) transmission was ubiquitous because it was the most efficient way to send electricity the long distances needed by the electricity grid. [Read more…]
Alice Springs Proposed VPP Progress
A proposed virtual power plant project intended to supply Alice Springs Town Council with more solar electricity has taken another significant step. [Read more…]
