Last Friday, Solar Systems opened its new Bridgewater R&D facility near Bendigo (Vic) for testing of hi-tech photovoltaic technology. According to Solar Systems chariman, Michael Hamson, Bridgewater is a "a world-class, large scale research and development facility". Together with integrated energy company TRUenergy, it is proposed to develop a 154 MW heliostat concentrator solar PV plant in the Mildura region. It is planned that this project will lead to further expansion of solar plants across Australia and in Asia.
With huge investment happening in large scale solar plants in USA, Spain and Portugal it is timely that in a country overrun with sunshine, we are beginning to make progress in Australia's future energy supply, and even more pleasing to see an Aussie company driving this new direction.
