This solar thermal plant in the United Arab Emirates could harness enough of the Sun's rays to power a city the size of Brisbane for a year but being able to run one in Australia could prove difficult.

Two communities that went without power during Black Summer are getting a microgrid to keep the lights on during network outages. As another dangerous fire season looms, is this technology the way forward?

Concentrated solar power is an old technology making a comeback, with the CSIRO forecasting it'll be a cheaper form of storage than pumped hydro. Here's how it works.
Australia is embarking on a world-first rollout of flexible export limits for rooftop solar to overcome the problem of network congestion. Here's how they work — and whether you might save.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed to supply electric utility vehicles to the Australian mining sector, as demand ramps up.
A type of battery invented by an Australian professor in the 1980s is being touted as the next big technology for grid energy storage. Here's how it works.
If we're to transition to green energy, we need help from carbon. New research into carbon-based materials is improving lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen fuel cells and solar panels.

Space agencies are examining the idea of constructing enormous orbital arrays of solar panels, then beaming the power to Earth via microwaves. So how does it work, and can space solar compete with the terrestrial kind?
The Sunswift 7 — crafted by a team of UNSW engineering students —set a new world record for fastest time over 1,000 km on a single charge, but almost didn't make it.
