Solar photovoltaics (PV) is technology that produces electricity from sunlight - an abundant energy source in Australia.

Solar energy will be an important part of our energy mix as the world transitions towards decarbonisation.

Large-scale solar projects such as Edderton Solar Farm uses similar technology to residential roof-top solar systems, however, ground-mounted projects can use extra technologies to increase energy production.

    Bi-facial panels capture sunlight from both faces of the solar panels.

These features mean more energy can be produced without increasing the size of the system.
