Solar Supply Chains Briefing Paper

Australia has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become a Renewable Energy Superpower

April 2024

To become a Renewable Energy Superpower, Australia must target a larger and accelerated deployment of utility-scale solar

This will be essential to power the green manufacturing required to realise Australia’s clean export opportunities. The demand created by this large-scale deployment is sufficient to justify building an onshore solar supply chain, and creates the necessary economies of scale to produce ultra low-cost solar.

Ultra low-cost solar will be essential to power globally competitive clean export commodities and industries

Building a solar supply chain will grow its economic complexity, ensure its energy security, and help it meet its emissions reductions targets. Australia is already a world leader in solar research; a local supply chain will provide pathways for it to capture the full value of its innovation.
