Solar
Photovoltaic Energy Applications Research Group (SEARG) - No longer
active, with the last update of this page being in 2005.
- Solar
Photovoltaic Energy Applications Research Group (SEARG) was a
nationally and internationally recognized research group, based at
Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
- 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
has been working very closely with Victorian Sustainable Energy
Authorities as well as Mornington Peninsula City Council in the
“Solar Photovoltaic Street Lighting project”.
- SEARG
has 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 recently 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 aolar 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.
