Report extract
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is aiming to reduce the cost of photovoltaic (PV) deployment through the third round of funding under its Research and Development (R&D) Program. In 2017, $29.2 million in funding was awarded to 20 projects, which sought to achieve at least one of the following outcomes:
- increased efficiency and reliability of solar cells including perovskite cells and tandem cells
- more reliable and durable solar PV cells/modules
- new solar PV materials with potential to unlock new applications of solar PV and/or integration of solar PV with other processes and uses
- translation and commercialisation of Australian R&D into manufacturing supply chains through collaborations.
