• This month marks the 50th Anniversary of the discovery of the technology that changed the production of solar panels!
  • It is the scientific breakthrough that is now the basis of over 90% of all the world's silicon solar panels.
  • In 1974, Martin Green was a PhD candidate in the Department of Engineering at the University of NSW when he began his interest in solar energy.
  • While there were solar panels already available their efficiency in terms of energy produced (watts) was extremely low. He set out to remedy this.
