Retrofits on the rise Down Under
Australia’s push to accelerate electrification while meeting an 82% renewable energy target and retiring coal-fired power plants, both by 2030, is driving the retrofitting of co-located battery energy storage systems (BESS) at existing grid-scale solar farms. Ev Foley of pv magazine Australia reports.

Spacebound silicon
Solar has a long history in powering satellites and space exploration, and high-powered devices based on multijunction PV cells made from “III-V” materials such as gallium arsenide or indium gallium phosphide have supplied this niche market as far back as the 1960s. But those devices are made with rare materials and complex processing, limited to small batches produced at high cost.
