- This month marks the 50th Anniversary of the discovery of the technology that changed the production of solar panels!
- It is the scientific breakthrough that is now the basis of over 90% of all the world's silicon solar panels.
- In 1974, Martin Green was a PhD candidate in the Department of Engineering at the University of NSW when he began his interest in solar energy.
- While there were solar panels already available their efficiency in terms of energy produced (watts) was extremely low. He set out to remedy this.

* Some of the biggest energy providers in Australia are our very worst emissions polluters!
* Recent study by CHOICE shows several of our biggest electricity providers are also the biggest polluters!
*You may well be surprised - even those purported to be offering 'green energy' - for a price!
Check it out on the CHOICE website - you can easily get a one-off entry! - or you can join!
* Check to see if you are being supplied by one of the big polluters - then get advice about how easy it is to change!
* We've established that cooking or heating with gas is not the best thing to do for anyone who suffers from any sort of asthma or lung condition - because up to 30% of the gas goes into the room and not into the cooking!
* Well now we've also established a similar impact on our health! Increasing air pollution from burning fossil fuels in motor vehicles!
*11,000 Australians now die every year from diseases attributed to air pollution! This is more than die from skin cancers!
