About Us
There are over 50 researchers at the ANU conducting research on solar energy. Follow the links on the left hand side of this page to see what we do.
Activities include; world leading research, presentation of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, the supervision of PhD students and the provision of educational and consumer resources.
Researchers in these areas regularly present their state-of-the-art research for journal publication at national and international conferences. See our publications.
Much of this research has lead to technology transfer to commercial partners to carry out solar energy infrastructure projects.
