AgriPark assists solar cell company to thrive

Greatcell Australia, a solar technology business based in the Wagga Wagga Special Activation Precinct was able to thrive during COVID-19 due to the assistance provided through Charles Sturt’s AgriSciences Research and Business Park (AgriPark) in Wagga Wagga. Greatcell takes advanced solar technology (perovskites) from the lab into production for commercialisation to provide bespoke solar cells for defence, agriculture and manufacturing. While many may think of solar panels on roofs and solar farms when thinking of solar energy, technology being developed by Greatcell Australia increases the number of applications where solar energy can be useful. These include wireless sensing for farmers to monitor their property and manage aspects such as cattle location and property conditions.
