    • Solar Photovoltaic Energy Applications Research Group (SEARG) was a nationally and internationally recognized research group, based at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Due to staff changes, it is no longer operating.
    • Since its establishment, SEARG has been able to provide links with State Government, Victorian City Councils, and Victorian Industry including energy providers and Business groups.
    • SEARG had been working very closely with Victorian Sustainable Energy Authorities as well as Mornington Peninsula City Council in the “Solar Photovoltaic Street Lighting project”.
    • SEARG had been successful in obtaining research funds (cash & in-kind) from Energy Industry ie. ORIGIN Energy for investigating the quality of grid-connected solar photovoltaic energy systems.
    • SEARG members have been able to complete several solar photovoltaic energy related projects.
    • SEARG has been consultant partner for many solar photovoltaic energy projects led by the Australian telecommunication companies as well as Victoria's Road authorities.
    • SEARG has  developed a computer program for the purpose of size optimization, performance prediction and cost calculation (capital cost and electricity cost A$/kWh) of all different solar photovoltaic applications (stand-alone, grid-connected, off-grid industrial, off-grid domestic as well solar PV hybrid systems).
    • SEARG is NO LONGER offering an OnLine course on Engineering and Economics of Solar Photovoltaic Energy Systems.
    • With extensive experience obtained in the past ten years it is anticipated that SEARG be able to play a key role as a partner for Victorian Sustainable Energy Authorities, Renewable Energy Industry, R&D and Business Organizations
    • SEARG is active in conducting renewable energy related conferences, seminars, and workshops at national and international levels.

There are NO Current courses offered by SEARG
