Coolsheet

We are proud to announce that Coolsheet has signed a 2-year research agreement with UNSW under the Trailblazer for Recycling and Clean Energy (TRaCE) grant program.   This continues our R&D collaboration with UNSW, focusing on materials science research and design for manufacture to help us prepare for scale ahead of a move into an automated manufacturing facility here in Australia during 2026/27.    Huge thanks to the TRaCE team for running an efficient process that is a good match for startup pace and to Prof. Robert Taylor and the team at the UNSW Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. #futuremadeinaustralia #renewableheat #solarpv #pvt #startup Ben Seers Aidan Johnstone Gabriella Nunes Anastasia Bruniaux Amr Omar Craig Peden Finally, a big thank you also to Dave Fleming who was instrumental in setting up the deal before he moved over to the India-Australia RISE program at CSIRO.

Fantastic Clean Techology Innovation Showcase event run by NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water today to round out Climate Action Week Sydney. Unusually useful knowledge sharing session for fellow entrepreneurs thanks to the engaging and insightful hosting from Hebbat Manhy of Cicada Innovations. Well done also Hebbat for one of the most elegant calls to action I’ve heard in a long time - we need more of this politely delivered “action shaming” 😁 than ever now. I didn’t realise that NSW has tipped in a bit to help Greenhouse, Climate Salad, EnergyLab, The Melt and SparkLabs Cultiv8. Well done NSW, all these teams are providing invaluable resources, help and acceleration for the startup ecosystem - Coolsheet is feeling well supported on our scale-up journey.

Wonderful to meet some of the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water team in person yesterday at the Climate Action Week Sydney Opening Ceremony. Thanks again to Alan Huynh, Shanti Nibhanupudi, Poonam Redij, Esha Narayan, Parisa Amouzgar, PhD, and Charles Eath (not in photo) for your support in delivering the Cleantech Innovation grant program. Shout out to the CAW 2025 team and volunteers for a well-curated morning session, and to University of Technology Sydney for hosting - that's the best screen in Sydney (sorry Salesforce!). Thanks also to the NSW Government for their support of Climate Action Week as a headline sponsor. The Coolsheet team are looking forward to presenting at the Clean Technology Innovation Showcase event this Friday in Barangaroo. https://lnkd.in/gsiSYgrt #solarpv #pvt #solaraustralia #solarthermal #australianmade

RACE for 2030 project kicked off yesterday with UNSW, researching PV Thermal as an efficient energy source for decarbonising industrial process heat. Another week, another milestone. Great to kick this project off - thank you Tracey Colley, Bill Lilley, Vivian Mohan-Ram, Marguerite Collins and all the team at RACE. Excited to be collaborating with world-leading experts to develop sophisticated monitoring protocols and PVT system sizing and performance calculators, utilising our commercial pilot 100kW installation. Thanks to Prof. Robert Taylor and Prof. Alistair Sproul for supervising another R&D project between UNSW & Coolsheet. Special thanks to Amr Omar for leading the research at UNSW and also to our expert industry project partners Max Ploumis and Marcus Wearing-Smith at Direct Energy Australia and to Alastair McDowell at EnergyAE. We are finalising our Industry Reference Group mentors for the project. Please get in touch if you'd like to be part of this pioneering project decarbonising industrial process heat. Here comes the sun. #industrialprocessheat #solarthermal #pvt #solaraustralia #swimmingpools

Coolsheet global testing & certification program commenced - Proudly funded by NSW Government in association with Coolsheet and UNSW. PVT Energy, manufacturer of Coolsheet - Australia’s innovative solar thermal technology, is delighted to announce we have been successful in securing a substantial grant from the NSW Government through their Net Zero Manufacturing Initiative. We look forward to working closely with the NSW Government as we expand our manufacturing facilities here in New South Wales, Australia.    We’d also like to acknowledge the strong support and contribution from our project partner, UNSW, with Prof. Robert Taylor of the School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering overseeing a series of testing programs and technical advisory inputs. This expands our relationship with UNSW from the existing RACE for 2030 project being undertaken in conjunction with Prof. Alistair Sproul and team at UNSW’s School of Photovoltaic & Renewable Energy Engineering.   The grant has helped us to accelerate partnering arrangements with major PV panel manufacturers and commence a global certification and compliance process for the Coolsheet technology which will facilitate exports to global markets such as the US and Europe towards the end of 2025. Coolsheet is on sale now in Australia. #PVT #solarthermal #Renewableheat #SolarPV

Thanks for the nomination, Climate Salad. Nice way to round off a big year. Looking forward to the Founder & Investor Connect session in Sydney tomorrow afternoon, and some year-end cheer at the awards. Esteemed company – some extremely smart, necessary inventions with clever business models across the finalists. Thanks also to the Embassy of Switzerland in Australia - a fitting category sponsor for Coolsheet as Switzerland has been a global pioneer of PV Thermal technology for 15 years. Now it’s Australia’s turn. #Climatetech #Startups #PVT #SolarPV #DirectLiquidCooling

Thanks to all the team at RACE for 2030 for the support in developing this ground-breaking project that harnesses renewable heat to reduce the Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for decarbonised water heating. Thanks very much also to Prof. Robert Taylor and the team at UNSW for leading the project and the research to optimise both $$ and carbon savings. We look forward to completing this installation with our trusted partners at Direct Energy Australia, EnergyAE and EnergyWise..

The Coolsheet team had a fun day yesterday at UNSW in Sydney, presenting a guest lecture to the Solar Thermal course students in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. Always invigorating and inspiring to be on campus. Thanks Prof Robert Taylor for hosting us...and for the help in moving a Coolsheet from the rooftop test lab over to the lecture theatre! (note it does not require 6 people to carry a Coolsheet but many hands...😊) Great day out for our Coolsheet Interns over from the US for the northern summer - many thanks Gracie White, Dakota Patuwo, Thea Burhan and Connor Lause for your inputs and efforts over the past couple of months. Hugely appreciated.

Thanks A2EP team. As a result of this webinar, we've had enquiry from Africa, Ecuador, El Salvador, Ireland, NZ and the US! For continued traction closer to home, we're currently focusing on helping Commercial PV installers and Energy Efficiency consultants in VIC and NSW as Coolsheet qualifies for VEECs and ESCIs (or ACCUs), which can bring the payback period in comfortably under 5 years for our renewable heat solution.
