Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics

Overview

Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP)  The Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) was established in 2013 to bring together the leading solar research institutes from across Australia and to build on Australia’s strengths in solar research. The ACAP project is led by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and provides a pipeline to ‘over the horizon’ photovoltaic technology, as well as training the next generation of research scientists and engineers through exposure to world-class facilities across Australia and the world. UNSW is the recipient of the ARENA funding and is responsible for the delivery of ACAP through ACAP’s governance structure ARENA provides grant funding directly to ACAP, who directly fund research groups such as CSIRO, Australian National University, University of Melbourne, University of Queensland, University of Sydney, and Monash University.
