Last year, APVI - Australian PV Institute’s Silicon to Solar (S2S) Team set out to conduct a study for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) on a roadmap for solar manufacturing in Australia that would not end up in the bottom draw like so many others. It was wonderful to see today that the S2S report indeed led to a massive step forward in establishing a large-scale solar manufacturing industry within our shores. When Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced $1bn for the Sunshot program, he spoke about "pit to panel". Whether it is S2S or P2P, who cares, as long as Australia is going to participate in and contribute to a more diversified global solar supply chain for an ever accelerating tranistion to renewable energy. It was also important that the whole Australian solar industry (thank you Smart Energy Council) was singing from the same hymn book. Ultimately, Darren Miller's highly dedicated ARENA team has done an amazing job in getting traction so quickly after our study was only published a couple of months ago.
Great impact, S2S (or now P2P) team;

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has today welcomed $1 billion in new funding to help unlock domestic solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing across the entire supply chain.
The Australian Government announced the establishment of the Solar Sunshot program to grow solar PV manufacturing in Australia and provide a pathway for the rich history of local solar PV innovation to be commercialised.
The program will be delivered by ARENA, with development and design to be done in collaboration with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
