Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says it’s “time to get it back” after announcing a new solar panel manufacturing program in NSW.
Mr Bowen and the Prime Minister held a joint press conference on Thursday to announce the new solar panel manufacturing program Solar Sunshot.
“Today we’re announcing Solar Sunshot, our new program to support the manufacturing of solar panels, solar cells, solar modules, and associated infrastructure here in Australia,” he said.
‘Time to get it back’: Bowen pledges to produce more solar panels in Australia
“We used to have an Australian-made solar panel industry in Sydney – it closed many years ago, it’s time to get it back.
“We’ve put millions of solar panels on our roofs over the last few years, we have to put another 60 million on in the next six years.”
