UNSW Sydney says its engineers have set a world record for the performance of solar cells made from antimony chalcogenide, an emerging photovoltaic material, marking a significant advance in manufacturing for next-generation solar technology.

A new study by researchers at UNSW Sydney has found that around 20 per cent of solar panels may degrade far faster than expected, with some potentially lasting only half of their anticipated lifetime.

UNSW Sydney researchers have demonstrated a new approach that could boost the efficiency of solar panels by making sunlight work harder – splitting one photon of light into two packets of usable energy.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has committed up to $3.96 million to support Lab 360 Solar, a University of New South Wales start-up, in developing drone-based technology for inspecting solar farms. 

Digital twin modelling is reshaping how infrastructure and manufacturing systems are designed, operated, and maintained, according to researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).

UNSW researchers will advance the development of a clean aviation fuel production system, supported by a $1.2 million grant from the TRaCE Lab to Market Fund and a total project investment exceeding $4 million.

Adelaide-based solar manufacturer Tindo has partnered with the University of New South Wales (UNSW) on two research projects aimed at advancing solar cell technology and improving power output in real-world conditions. 

UNSW Sydney has secured the highest number of Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grants in the latest round, receiving more than $4.6 million in funding to collaborate with industry and government partners on research projects, several of which focus on advancing Australia’s manufacturing capability.

Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have spearheaded an international collaboration to create a nanomaterial that can extract clean drinking water from air moisture – offering hope to the 2.2 billion people globally without safe access to potable water.

Engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have reportedly achieved a world record for the efficiency of kesterite solar cells, a material considered key to future photovoltaic technologies.
