Australia has a very active tourism industry attracting millions annually. Tourism, lifestyle and other economic activities generate about 48 million tons of solid waste every year. At present, the country mainly uses landfills and resource recovery facilities. The later involves composting, thermal treatments and mechanical-biological treatment systems. Efficient and quick disposal of solid wastes thus […]

The renewable energy uptake surge is not exclusive to Australia. Even western European countries and Scandinavia invests heavily in solar and wind power farms. The former has comparatively lower energy output owing to the low average sunshine in this region. As a result, large solar subsidies for residential and small-scale businesses are not attractive as

From local weather to electricity generation of national electricity market (NEM), the second quarter of 2019 brought in some “different-than-usual” changes. The climate was warmer than the previous 10-year average and the east coast registered very low rainfalls. This led to lower heating requirements throughout the country. Except for Adelaide, heating requirements of Q2 2019 were

The second quarter of 2019 saw an average increase in power generation from wind and large-scale solar by 90MW and 10.9MW respectively. The coal power production dropped by 7% during the peak demand periods of day time. In addition, Rooftop PV contribution jumped to 19.4MW. This increase is mainly due to the number of new

The stigma that alternate energy is only possible for first-world countries is changing rapidly. As of 2019, most developing and under developed nations have set some type of renewable energy target in their annual budget.  This is mainly because, for solar and wind, the commercialization cost per unit power production is at its all-time lowest. Thus the investments

As of 2019, the share of Australia’s renewables is increasing mainly due to the consistent uptake of solar power in the residential and commercial sector. This is a well known fact. However, the concept of “energy as export” from the country. The Sun Cable solar project in Northern Territory is such an ambitious undertaking to

Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) tracks the “bankability” of solar panel manufacturers through their tier-1 panel lists. It started as a rating system to measure the credit worthiness of solar panel brands for the banking and other financial institutions. Then, over the years, it has become a de facto marketing strategy for advertisements of solar installers in Australia. 

The rank of the “largest solar farm” in Australia keeps on changing due to accelerated uptake of solar Pv technology in the commercial and utility-scale level. This condition is the same globally as well.  For example, the rank of world’s largest floating solar power plant was initially held by South Korea, then China. As of

Solar panel technology is constantly evolving since it penetrated the consumer electronics domain in the past 5 years. One of the prominent innovations that is picking up traction is the bifacial technology – generate power from both sides of a module. These modules can produce more specific power per unit area (25-30% more) than their

In the world of  consumer technology, there are annual exhibitions targeted to bring together the stakeholders of a particular classification, like Mobile World COngress for handheld devices and CES for consumer electronics. The solar industry is at its peak throughout the world. With billions of dollars in investment, from governments to end-users, the stakeholders in this

Established in 2003, Regen Power is a renowned Western Australian company for pioneering innovations in field of solar, wind and offgrid power systems. This 16 year journey included numerous solar farm installations in 3 different continent, making us one of the best commercial solar installers in Australia. Regen provides a wide range of products and

The state of South Australia has one of the fastest adoption of renewables – wind and solar – after Queensland and NSW. The consistency of these renewable systems have also been in question in the past during power outages and the 2016 blackouts. This Tuesday, the south Australia electricity prices were negative for a total
