Establish the facts around solar power. This article explains the pros and cons of having a solar power system for your home, and how to work out the costs.

The Sun's Energy can be used in way different ways, we look at the various options available.

Solar Power systems installed at the home or office can reduce environmental impact. How solar panel systems work is described and how you and the environment benefit.

Australia joins more than 100 other countries across the globe in committing to a tripling of renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade in another coup for the organisers of this year's UN climate talks.

An alliance of rural councils has signed an agreement with CopperString's founders to build a 930km "clean energy corridor" transmission line from Hughenden in the west to Biloela, one of Queensland's major power hubs.
