Whilst pollies spent the week campaigning, Aussie researchers made the biggest breakthrough in solar efficiency in years.<\/p><\/div>\n

Used to being marginalised during election campaigns, the renewables sector hasn\u2019t exactly sprung to the centre of attention during the latest most important election since the last one. However there are signs that the two major parties are taking notice of the Australian electorate\u2019s overwhelming support for a strong renewable energy policy as we dip into the election renewables news roundup for the second week.<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest results from a survey, conducted by ReachTEL for a number of environmental groups, shows a whopping 64 percent of the 2400 Aussies surveyed would support a party that promises to deliver 100 percent renewables in 20 years. The poll also found that 56.4 percent want the government to do more to combat climate change and said the strong support of Australians for solar power could be a key factor in the result of the upcoming election.<\/span><\/p>\n

The big political event with regard to renewables was the National Press Club\u2019s toe-to-toe between the Environment Minister Greg Hunt and his Opposition counterpart Mark Butler. While the Minister has the unenviable task of trying to defend being the smiling face of the Abbott years, Mr Butler spoke of a certain bipartisanship in combatting climate change …whatever that will mean.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greens meanwhile are doing their darndest to attract attention to their $2.9 billion program to \u201cjumpstart the battery industry\u201d which, I think you’ll agree, is at the very least an imaginative slogan!<\/span><\/p>\n

But really, the big news of the week was from our very University of New South Wales where the world-renowned research team, led by Prof Martin Green \u2014 the Don Bradman of Australian photovoltaics \u2014 and Dr Mark Keevers has smashed the world record for solar efficiency for solar cells using unfocused sunlight.\u00a0<\/span>This is an achievement that could have major repercussions for the future of photovoltaics. Amid concerns raised by the team for future solar research and development in Australia, will the major parties take notice?<\/span><\/p>\n
