As Victoria unveils an Australia-leading package focusing on solar, batteries and energy efficiency, the electric Solar Coaster nearly sank in deep waters off the coast of NSW.

And we interview solar veteran Geoff Stapleton from GSES, looking back over decades in the solar industry, where it’s been and where it’s going.

All this and more in this week’s episode.
