Next-Generation Solar & Storage
Accelerating the transition with highly efficient solar technology and long duration energy storage
Strategic Investors
Around-the-Clock Clean Energy Production and Storage
RayGen’s solar-and-storage solution addresses the growing need for long duration energy storage to balance intermittent wind and solar power in global energy systems as fossil fuel generators are decommissioned.
The RayGen system uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto Australian-made, highly efficient solar modules. In addition to producing electricity, heat is captured from the modules and stored in water reservoirs for on-demand electricity dispatch via a synchronous engine.
Our Pioneering Solution
RayGen solar power plants generate, store and deliver electricity on demand – day and night, summer and winter – at very low cost. With modules 4000 times more powerful than standard solar panels, PV Ultra uses a unique system proven at scale to generate both electricity and heat at high efficiency.

Utility Scale
RayGen’s Carwarp power plant is one of the world’s largest operational next-generation, long duration energy storage (LDES) project, the world’s highest efficiency solar photovoltaic project, and is contracted to one of Australia’s largest utilities, AGL Energy.
Sustainability
For a zero-carbon future, RayGen’s solution comprises low degradation, recyclable, locally sourced materials that require minimal maintenance, enabling project lifespans of more than 30 years. To prove durability, we have been generating solar electricity from our inaugural site at Newbridge, Victoria since 2015.

Australian Manufacturing
RayGen has commissioned Australia’s largest renewable energy manufacturing facility: a 170MW per annum solar module production line in Melbourne. The line will employ 30 staff at full production.
RayGen’s approach eliminates polysilicon, leverages high-tech semiconductor supply chains from the satellite industry and can be exported globally.
Case Studies
Applications
RayGen meets the needs of electricity markets, on- and off-grid customers and green fuel projects.
Dispatchable Renewable Energy

Capacity Agreements
Provide the grid with contracted reserved capacity, e.g. caps of over 10 hours
Frequency Control and Ancillary Services
Respond within seconds to the demands of the grid as a reliable synchronous generator for grid transient stability
System Strength and Inertia
Provide system stability, physical inertia, voltage control and black start support with synchronous machines
Baseload
Meet the 24/7 needs of large industry and mining, on-grid and off-grid
Peak Commitments
Provide peak generation for 4 – 6 hours at times when the demand is high
Agrivoltaics
Tap into opportunities for sheep grazing and carbon farming with reduced exposure to environmental offsets
Green Fuels
Increase uptime, reduce cycling and capture waste heat from hydrogen electrolysis and green fuel synthesis
