Our solar power field at Newcastle will require just sunshine and fresh air to make electricity when it's finished, an innovation tailor made to Australia's arid climate. Funded by a Commonwealth Government initiative - the Australian Solar Institute (ASI) - it's part of a $5m collaboration between the CSIRO Energy Transformed Flagship and the Australian National University.
