PV Futures | ACAP

Using innovative system-level energy modelling, ACAP researchers from ANU and UNSW have shown that ARENA’s 30-30-30 ultra-low-cost solar (ULCS) target has the potential to achieve rapid economy-wide decarbonisation, and unlock new export industries in Australia that are not yet cost-competitive at current energy prices.

ACAP is mapping solar PV's future potential. What opportunities will flow from ultra-low cost solar in Australia?

Professor Kylie Catchpole gave an update on ACAP’s PV Futures and Knowledge Sharing program which is focused on understanding what ultra‑low cost solar means for the whole energy system, and how we communicate that to industry, policymakers and the community.
