Meyer Burger, a Switzerland-based active mechanical engineering company, is set to enter the growing Australian photovoltaic (PV) market by offering a range of high-performance solar panels that it claims deliver greater energy yields than traditional technologies.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has visited Australia's largest solar farm, located in Queensland's Western Downs region, to mark the completion of the massive project.

Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Madeleine King has outlined the accomplishments and challenges faced by the country's resources sector, emphasising the importance of traditional resources in manufacturing technologies needed to bring down emissions in Australia.

A new study led by the University of South Australia has proposed a comprehensive product stewardship scheme for solar panels, which the Federal Government prioritised several years ago.

Minister for Mining and Industry Nicole Manison said that recent data found the cost of critical minerals exploration in the Northern Territory increased by about 30 per cent in 2022 to $198.6 million –up from $153.4 million in 2021. 

Scientists from Deakin University have successfully extracted silicon from end-of-life solar panels and converted it into a nanomaterial that can be used in the development of a new type of battery anode. 

The energy world is at the dawn of a new industrial age – the age of clean energy technology manufacturing – that is creating major new markets and millions of jobs but also raising new risks, prompting countries across the globe to devise industrial strategies to secure their place in the new global energy economy, according to a major new IEA report.

Commissioned by Australia’s national science industry CSIRO, the Australian Silicon Action Plan report suggests the establishment of a domestic solar supply chain to position Australia as a global superpower for solar PV electricity generation.
