The plunging price of solar PV combined with storage means that we can leverage existing infrastructure, like old coal plants, to generate renewables, repurposing land that can’t be used for other purposes. The energy density of the 5B Maverick can deliver giga-scale solar farms on pre-disturbed land, and has already been deployed on coal ash sites, tailings dams, and landfills. As our Chief Strategy Officer Dr Nicole Kuepper-Russell points out in this article, the energy transformation will require us to “cram as much [cheap new generation] in as close to where it is needed as possible.” Get in touch to find out more. https://hubs.ly/Q02J2kRh0 #solar #solarPV #LargeScaleSolar #SmartEnergy

5B are participating in the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Greenhouse's global Solar ScaleUp Challenge! This initiative seeks innovators, developers, engineers, and financiers to deliver large-scale solar projects or apply solutions from other industries to solar. Solar photovoltaic technology is crucial for global decarbonisation and the renewable energy transition. Large-scale solar can drive down costs, increase demand, and unlock significant scale. 5B is motivated to scale the production and deployment of our proprietary solar technology, the 5B Maverick, to deploy large-scale solar faster, safer, more cost effectively, and at lower risk. Join the Global Solar ScaleUp Challenge and be part of the solution. Submissions close on 14 August.

Thank you to the Australia India Institute for inviting our CEO David Griffin to participate as a delegate at the Australia India Renewables Dialogue today. This event brought together government, academic, and private sector leaders from both countries to explore decarbonisation opportunities, including the manufacturing of clean technologies. Great to hear remarks from both governments, including from the Hon. Chris Bowen MP, Australia’s Minister for Climate Change and Energy. David's participation underscores our dedication to fostering international collaboration and leveraging the strengths of both nations to drive sustainable energy solutions. Engaging with Indian counterparts allows us to exchange innovative technologies and practices, ensuring mutual progress towards our net-zero goals. Stay tuned for more updates on the discussions and initiatives emerging from this dialogue.

5B’s CEO David Griffin will be presenting at the Smart Energy Council's Large-Scale Renewable Generation & Storage Summit in Sydney on Thursday, 25 July. Large-scale generation and storage are not advancing quickly enough for Australia's energy transition. The main roadblocks are planning and approval processes and the complexities of obtaining social licence for large-scale projects. David will discuss how large-scale projects are breaking into new territories to provide renewable energy to a wider range of industries - and how 5B is at the forefront of this movement with innovative solutions like the 5B Maverick. Join us at the summit to develop an impactful industry response and create a clear path for these essential projects.
