The Power Couple: how Solar and Storage innovation can get us to net zero
Presentation summary
ARENA has a vision for ultra low-cost solar (ULCS) and what we call ‘30-30-30’, which is 30% module efficiency and 30c per watt installed cost by 2030. To achieve this, we are supporting projects all the way from fundamental R&D, through to pilots and demonstrations of innovative installation and maintenance technologies, through to manufacturing. In Energy Storage, we are looking to support the next wave of long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, battery innovations and battery manufacturing. In this presentation you will hear more about ARENA’s vision for low-cost solar and storage, and some of the exciting innovations we’re seeing across Australia.
