Twenty years ago China built a solar manufacturing industry on the back of Australian innovation. Now, as Australia tries to build a solar industry of its own, it needs assistance from China.
A five-hour drive from Sydney, a community garden of sorts has sprouted. But instead of sharing tomatoes or lettuce, "gardeners" harvest solar energy. And it's already a hit with people otherwise excluded from the rooftop...

This solar thermal plant in the United Arab Emirates could harness enough of the Sun's rays to power a city the size of Brisbane for a year but being able to run one in Australia could prove difficult.

Two communities that went without power during Black Summer are getting a microgrid to keep the lights on during network outages. As another dangerous fire season looms, is this technology the way forward?

Concentrated solar power is an old technology making a comeback, with the CSIRO forecasting it'll be a cheaper form of storage than pumped hydro. Here's how it works.
Australia is embarking on a world-first rollout of flexible export limits for rooftop solar to overcome the problem of network congestion. Here's how they work — and whether you might save.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed to supply electric utility vehicles to the Australian mining sector, as demand ramps up.
A type of battery invented by an Australian professor in the 1980s is being touted as the next big technology for grid energy storage. Here's how it works.
If we're to transition to green energy, we need help from carbon. New research into carbon-based materials is improving lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen fuel cells and solar panels.
