What’s next in PV cell and module tech – with Renate Egan

UNSW has played an outsized role in the development of
crystalline-silicon solar technology and the modern solar
industry. Through its leadership of the Australian Centre for
Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP), it continues to help shape the
future of solar innovation.


ACAP brings together leading Australian solar research programs,
works across the entire solar value chain, and collaborates
closely with major global manufacturers – including industry
giants in China.


In this episode, UNSW researcher and ACAP Executive Director
Professor Renate Egan joins host
Jonathan Gifford to share the latest
developments in solar research and discuss how technology will
continue driving the PV industry in 2026.
