On behalf of the Australian Government, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has awarded AUD 29.2 million (USD 22,1 million) for 20 Australian research projects to propel the development of PV technology. The funding has been offered to research teams from the University of New South Wales, Australian National University, Monash University and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

ARENA’s third round of R&D funding supports early-stage research to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of solar PV, from creating flexible solar devices to making semi-transparent, high-efficiency solar cells for integrating into windows. Most of the projects will focus on silicon technologies. Total value of the projects is approximately AUD 102 million.
