Solar Systems - Australian Concentrating Photovoltaic innovation in jeopardy
Beyond Zero's Eva, Melissa and Matt talk to Dave Turner a dedicated former engineer and researcher at Solar Systems. Solar Systems is a leading Australian company that has gone into administartion and was developing Concentrating Photovoltaic technology for large scale centralised power plants. They had just been going through the final stages of a cost down process and production automation. Without serious Australian support including feed-in tariffs and/or loan guarantees the sun may never shine on one of Australia's contributions to the global solar revolution.
