5B's market share of solar in off-grid mining sits at about 30% and is growing rapidly in Australia. Our CEO David Griffin recently spoke to the The Australian Financial Review's Simon Evans about how our tech is helping industry and states like Western Australia decarbonise, overcome labour and land constraints, and make use of pre-disturbed sites.

Boom 💥 Look what we just won! Thank you The Australian Financial Review for the recognition, we're incredibly proud to be named winners in The Australian Financial Review Energy Awards Innovation Challenger category. A decade ago, 5B's founders Chris McGrath and Eden Tehan had a vision that time, labour and land would be scarce in the energy transition. So, they designed a technology, the 5B Maverick, to address it - in essence, an incredibly fast way to deploy utility scale solar, on a very small footprint, with minimal manual intervention. Throughout this week’s AFR Energy Summit the need for lots of renewable generation in a hurry was abundantly clear. It suggests a long, busy future for 5B. As well as a huge shout out to the 5B team, this award belongs to our clients and partners Zenith Energy PWR Hybrid UON PTY LTD Nomadic Energy who are constantly aspiring to do things better, faster, more cost efficiently. We are also grateful to the brilliant institutions guiding this very complex energy transition who have supported our journey, including Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) If you're not already familiar with our tech and want to know more, connect with us here: https://hubs.ly/Q02Vf97l0.

Great to be working alongside our strategic partners to keep advancing solar in the field!
Exciting progress at the Renewable Hydrogen Research and Development Centre, University of South Wales! ☀ Last Friday, 5B completed the installation of our second Maverick solar array. This brings us one step closer to demonstrating how renewable energy can drive efficient hydrogen production. We’re grateful to Stephen Carr and his team for their support in this partnership, and a huge thanks to 5B for their outstanding work. Special appreciation also goes to Lightsource bp for their assistance in making this installation possible. With the solar arrays now in place at both of our pilot sites, we are eager to move forward with the next phase of our projects in partnership with Innovate UK. Stay tuned as we continue to push the envelope on green hydrogen innovation! #RenewableEnergy #GreenHydrogen #SolarPower #Innovation #EnergyTransition #Sustainability
