Webinar: How efficient can big solar be?

Published by

Australia’s market operator suggests that half of Australia’s power supply will come from solar within two decades. Who is going to build it? And at what cost?

How can technology improve reliability and efficiency, deliver high power ratings and reduce balance of system costs for new projects? And how will Australia deal with the waste issues?

Our panel, hosted by RenewEconomy Editor Giles Parkinson, discussed these questions in this free to attend webinar.
