By Alison Potter for the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has extended its support of Australia’s flagship solar research program, the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP), to 2032, driving development of next generation, ultra low-cost solar. The funding will support early career fellowships and collaboration, as well as new state-of-the-art infrastructure across ACAP’s seven research institutes. Ultra

Research impact is best understood through these stories and this year's ACAP Annual Report is built around that principle. Rather than just reporting achievements and milestones, we’ve combined program highlights with case studies that showcase the people, technologies and discoveries shaping the future of solar energy.

“There’s a huge opportunity to internationalise our curricula and to collaborate with alumni and partners who are already embedded in these new growth hubs,” Wang says. “We can cultivate the skills and relationships that enable both students and industry to thrive through the energy transition.”
