Australia's utility-scale solar sector must halve generation costs to around AU$25-30/MWh (US$18-22/MWh) to unlock a pipeline of projects capable of delivering the 10GW of annual capacity additions needed for decarbonisation, according to the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
US community solar developer Renewable Properties has acquired 118MW of cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar modules from US solar manufacturer First Solar.
