Australia’s “father of PV,” UNSW Scientia Professor Martin Green has predicted that the average Australian solar household will soon be installing “tens of kilowatts” on their rooftops, probably coupled with battery storage, as panel costs continue to fall and batteries becomes more affordable. Green, who just last week told the Smart Energy Conference in Sydney […]

Global renewable energy industry will grow ten folds over seven years: Alistair Sproul, UNSW
Renewable energy, especially photovoltaics (PV) and wind are the fastest-growing industries in the energy sector. Compared with fossil fuel technologies, which require ongoing fuelling, the renewable energy industry is more capital intensive. The renewable energy industry is growing at 25-40 per cent per annum and will be close to ten times its present size in the next […]
