Hager Soft Start LED dimmer

20 November, 2013 | Supplied by: Hager Electro Pty Ltd

The LED dimmer from Hager is designed specifically to work with LED lights and therefore is compatible with more LED’s than a standard trailing or leading-edge dimmer.


Verbatim PAR16 GU10s and MR16 GU5.3s LED spotlights

20 November, 2013 | Supplied by: Verbatim Australia Pty Ltd

Verbatim's LED spotlights - PAR16 GU10s and MR16 GU5.3s - employ single-focus diamond-cut lenses to mimic the warmth and dimming characteristics of halogen lamps. The spotlights provide good beam management and high brightness. 


Vibe LED PLC lamps

20 November, 2013 | Supplied by: ANL Lighting

The Vibe LED PLC lamps come in two wattage variations: an 8 W LED which replaces an 18 W PLC and a 12 W LED that replaces a 26 W PLC. These lamps are both available in either 3000 K (warm white) or 5000 K (natural white).


Vibe Lighting LED floodlight range

11 November, 2013 | Supplied by: ANL Lighting

The floodlights are solid machined aluminium units with black gloss powdercoating and a polycarbonate face which protects the CREE LED chip inside. The fitting is IP65 rated, making the floodlight resistant to dust and water.


New technique produces high-efficiency, thin-film solar cells

06 November, 2013

Building a low-cost solar cell that is both highly efficient and simple to construct has thus far proved elusive. However, a research team from Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, has made a major leap forward.


ET Solar AC modules

31 October, 2013 | Supplied by: Australian Micro Inverters Pty Ltd

ET Solar Group's ET AC modules, powered by SolarBridge microinverters in Australia, are available through Australian Micro Inverters.


Bosch Power Tec BPT-S 5 Hybrid intelligent energy storage solution

29 October, 2013 | Supplied by: Robert Bosch (Australia) Pty Ltd

Bosch Power Tec’s BPT-S 5 Hybrid intelligent energy storage solution is suitable for domestic photovoltaic systems. The product stores the electricity produced during the day so that a family can draw on it when the sun goes down.


First Solar to build Qld's biggest solar power installation

24 October, 2013

First Solar has been contracted to construct what will be Queensland's largest solar power installation. The company has signed a contract with the University of Queensland to build a solar photovoltaic research facility at UQ's Gatton campus.


Magellan Power DC Solar Storage system

23 October, 2013 | Supplied by: Magellan Power

DC Solar Storage (DSS) from Magellan Power is available in 3 kW/2.4 kWh or 5 kWh. It is installed on the output of the solar panels and therefore does not interfere with the installed inverter.


Perovskite cells hit 15% efficiency

22 October, 2013

NTU scientists have developed a solar cell made from organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials which they say is about five times cheaper than current thin-film solar cells, due to a simpler, solution-based manufacturing process.


Lego brick concept creates efficient solar panels

21 October, 2013

Scientists have discovered that covering solar panels with aluminium studs helps to bend and trap light in the absorbing layer, increasing the amount of energy extracted from the captured sunlight.


Solar power monitoring system

21 October, 2013 | Supplied by: Magellan Power

Magellan Power Solar Gate is designed to help those with large solar installations keep the energy they generate, for their own use. The product monitors the power demand of a local load and commands grid inverters to produce power equal to the local demand, in order to avoid injection of solar power into the grid.


Solar-powered heating and cooling system developed

17 October, 2013

Solar panel systems that both heat and cool buildings may soon be coming to a large office building near you, thanks to engineers at two Spanish universities.


DEHN + SOHNE surge protection for PV systems

16 October, 2013 | Supplied by: DEHN + SOHNE GmbH + Co KG

DEHN + SOHNE offers lightning protection components and surge protection devices for photovoltaic systems.


Minimum price for SA solar proposed

03 October, 2013 | Supplied by: Clean Energy Council

The Clean Energy Council has welcomed a recommendation to set a minimum price in South Australia for solar energy generated by South Australians.
