'Game-changing' perovskite solar tech could be cheaper and more efficient

Australian company races to be first to develop perovskite solar and make technology available for more businesses

With over 200 mostly sunny days a year, Australia's nickname of the sunburnt country is well-earned. It's therefore unsurprising that we lead the world in household solar, with 1.4m photovoltaic (PV) systems running in 2015.

By contrast however, Australia has relatively few large-scale solar farms, which the Clean Energy Council attributes to the "relatively high cost of the technology compared to more established forms of renewable energy", such as wind power.
