​​Hybrid solar-and-battery projects are rapidly progressing as the standard way to deliver firmed renewable electricity in the NEM.

As projects become more integrated, so does the supplier landscape. Developers need to align compatible battery systems, power conversion systems, transformers, inverters, and PV trackers and modules. This assessment also needs to cover suppliers’ ability to support AC-coupled, DC-coupled, and reverse DC-coupled configurations.

This directory brings together the equipment suppliers in Australia's utility-scale solar and battery space. For each company, it provides an overview of its Australian supply scope, track record and a contact for enquiries.
