Dr. Keith Lovegrove unveiled the ANU's new solar thermal dish in September at the SolarPACES international solar thermal conference in Berlin to much acclaim. This will be the first time it will be presented in Melbourne.
Invented by Wolfgang over 25 years ago 1000s of Scheffler dishes are now installed at 100s of locations around the world. Wolfgang Scheffler has made his dish designs and associated intellectual property available for free to create a solar world.
Beyond Zero's Eva, Melissa and Matt talk to Dave Turner a dedicated former engineer and researcher at Solar Systems. Solar Systems is a leading Australian company that has gone into administartion and was developing Concentrating Photovoltaic technology for large scale centralised power plants. They had just been going through the final stages of a cost down process and production automation. Without serious Australian support including feed-in tariffs and/or loan guarantees the sun may never shine on one of Australia's contributions to the global solar revolution.
