Join the Global Solar ScaleUp Challenge! The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Greenhouse’s global Solar ScaleUp Challenge is now open. 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. Teams can collaborate to reduce the cost of solar installation, operation, or maintenance and submit proposals for a chance to access funding from a $100m grant pool within ARENA’s Advancing Renewables Program. The challenge is now open. Submissions close on 14 August. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/di-X67sn #SolarScaleUpChallenge #RenewableEnergy #SolarInnovation #NetZero #Innovation #Engineer #Developers

Do you have a groundbreaking solution that can reduce the cost of installation, operations and maintenance for large-scale #solar #photovoltaics (PV)? If so, take a look at this exciting initiative from Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), which is calling on innovators, energy off takers', financiers, anyone involved in the construction and operation of solar projects, as well as people from other industries with solutions that could apply to solar PV. The international challenge is part of ARENA’s vision to reduce the installed cost of a solar project to just 30 cents per watt and reduce the cost of electricity to below $20 per megawatt hour by 2030. Shortlisted submissions could gain access to a total pool of up to AU$100 million in grant funding from ARENA. 💻 Register for the ARENA Webinar taking place this Wed 26 June to find out more>>> https://lnkd.in/gc43b9yW #trade #investment #R&D

That’s easy as long as grid connection approval processes are manageable for new projects, and capacity expansion applications are encouraged with BESS for existing C&I loads.
