Research, Development and Commercialisation Program: Ultra Low-Cost Solar PV R&D Funding

Grant Description

The Ultra Low-Cost Solar PV R&D Funding Round aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative Australian research in solar photovoltaics (PV), driving significant cost reductions in utility-scale solar electricity. With a maximum funding amount of $10 million per project and a total pool of $60 million, the grant prioritises achieving a Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) below $20 per MWh. Beneficiaries include Australian universities, research institutions, and innovative businesses. Key focus areas involve cell and module efficiency, system cost reductions, asset stability, balance of system (BoS) innovation, and operation and maintenance (O&M) cost reductions.
