The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) last year funded the Australian Photovoltaics Institute (APVI), working with Deloitte and a group of key industry stakeholders, to investigate the feasibility of Australia setting up its own solar manufacturing industry.
One answer is that Chinese companies are looking to diversify their own supply chains and bypass the tariffs countries like India and the US have placed on Chinese-made panels. Twenty years ago, Australia appeared set to be a global player in the solar panel manufacturing industry. Here's how we lost our head start.
"It's about what is the global supply chain and where is it sensible we play a part?" Renate Egan, executive director for the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics and professor of engineering at UNSW, said. Australia needs to work with China, including welcoming Chinese solar manufacturers into Australia, Professor Egan said.
In Australia, 99% of new capacity is wind or solar. London-headquartered Eku Energy has committed $500,000 to the Australian National University’s battery storage and grid integration program as construction begins on the Williamsdale big battery in the Australian Capital Territory.
Australia’s record uptake of rooftop solar is delivering significant benefits for some installers with new analysis by industry consultancy Solar Nerds showing triple-digit percentage point annual growth rates for some companies. Sunways’ new three-phase inverters have efficiency ratings of up to 98.6% and European efficiency ratings of 98.2%.

The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
