Energy transformer Dr John Lasich has helped to take solar from “witchcraft or alchemy” into the cheapest form of energy generation in history. The RayGen founder joined Rewired to discuss how an idea he developed in his shed has attracted $42 million in capital and will soon be deployed on the site of AGL’s Liddell Power Station. His “solar thermal” technology concentrates sunlight to central solar PV receivers to produce electricity, while employing an innovative approach to capture the heat by-product to provide long term energy storage.

Solar pioneer breaks down his game-changing invention

Rewired is back for its biggest season yet.
In season four, we will hear how ARENA funding is helping to trial new ways of producing metals like steel and aluminium using renewable energy.
Experts will share progress commercialising technologies like renewable hydrogen and electric vehicles, which are finally achieving long-held potential.
And we will explore how Australia&rsquo;s riches of wind and solar could unlock opportunities to undertake more energy-intensive processes onshore, creating jobs and wealth.
This is our most ambitious season to date, with twice as many episodes giving us the chance to showcase more of the ways Australia is unlocking a renewable energy future.
