Emerging Technologies
AI in Solar Design & Operations
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will automate and optimize solar design, proposal generation, and operational workflows, leading to significant efficiency gains and predictive insights.
Blockchain for Energy Trading
Blockchain technology could enable transparent and secure peer-to-peer energy trading within local grids, creating new revenue streams and fostering a more decentralized energy market.
Advanced Energy Storage & VPPs
Innovations in battery storage and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) will enable greater grid stability, offer new services to consumers, and integrate solar more seamlessly into the broader energy ecosystem.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
National Energy Transformation Partnership (NETP) 2022
The National Energy Transformation Partnership (NETP), agreed to in 2022, is a collaboration between the Australian Government and states/territories to accelerate Australia's energy transition to net zero.
This policy provides a stable and supportive framework for renewable energy growth, encouraging solar PV installations and associated software solutions like Pylon.
CEC Battery Assurance Program 2023
The Clean Energy Council (CEC) introduced a Battery Assurance Program in 2023, outlining standards and approved products for battery storage systems to ensure safety and reliability.
This policy promotes the integration of battery storage with solar PV, creating demand for software tools that can accurately design and manage hybrid solar-plus-storage systems, which Pylon supports with advanced battery design features.
State-based Solar Rebate and Incentive Schemes (e.g., NSW Solar Battery Rebate, Victorian Solar Homes Program) (Ongoing)
Various state governments in Australia (e.g., NSW, Victoria) continue to offer rebates and incentive programs for residential and business solar PV and battery installations to encourage uptake.
These ongoing incentives directly stimulate consumer demand for solar installations, increasing the need for efficient design, proposal, and operational software like Pylon to manage the higher volume of projects.
