Clean Technology Partners’ mission is to enable the wide spread deployment of solar PV systems and other clean technologies in Australia and throughout the world.
We have one of Australia’s most experienced Solar Photovoltaic Engineering and Project Management teams and offer a range of services to assist the industry achieve its project goals faster and at lower cost and risk.
We can be of assistance whether you are the developer or integrator on a large, medium or small solar project, trying to gain approval for grid connection of your embedded generator, a manufacturer trying to gain Australian certification for your products or a council looking for proven green initiatives.
For more information, take a look at our People, Services, Previous Projects or Contact Us.

Clean Technology Partners provides engineering for Pacific Island Projects
There has been quite a lot of interest shown in solar projects in the Pacific recently - both by island nations looking to reduce their diesel fuel bills and the Australian solar industry wondering why similar projects are not getting off the ground here! Read More »
How to value the “Merit Order Effect”
Our Managing Director, Lachlan, recently contributed to a paper that explored an oft-overlooked economic impact of wide spread solar PV installations. That is, the reduction in wholesale power prices due to the solar generated electricity delaying the use of expensive "peaking" power stations that would otherwise have to come online to meet periods of peak electricity demand - e.g. hot days where air conditioning systems are running at full tilt. This paper has subsequently been peer reviewed and published in the scientific journal Energy Policy (Elsevier) and can be viewed here. Read More »
A belated welcome: 2013
It's been an incredibly busy start to the year at CTP and finding the time to update the news feed has been difficult! Firstly we'd like to welcome Brian Cox who joined CTP at the start of the year in role of Project Engineer and has already been contributing greatly to projects we are working on. Check out Brian's profile here. The busy times have translated into an exciting start to the year, you may have seen the announcement with Belectric on the Mildura solar power station under development recently. We want to thank all our clients for their support in 2012 and may 2013 be a significant year in Australia's transition to a clean energy economy.
Some recent solar industry articles written by Clean Tech
Our Directors Lachlan and Matthew have published articles this year covering key technical issues faced by the solar industry in the trade magazine "Solar Australia". They can be accessed on-line in case you missed the recent issues of the magazine. Connecting Large Scale Solar to the Grid - Matthew Haddad, A Guide to Navigating Installer's Liability on Commercial Solar Projects - Lachlan BatemanHilton Garcia, National Project Manager – Renewables at PSG Elecraft
"The guys at CTP have given our project team great support and guidance with modern and up to date solar design and installation methods. What really stands out to me is their enthusiasm and determination to provide the best solution possible no matter how complex the proposal gets, they're certainly our one-stop-shop for engineering support in the renewables market."
How do you connect a PV system to the High Voltage (HV) Distribution Network?
One of the major technical hurdles for solar companies wanting to move from residential / small scale commercial to large scale PV projects is connecting to the grid at higher voltages. Unless you are considering a project in the 100 of MW's this generally means connecting to the distribution network, typically at 11kV-33kV. Read More »

Clean Technology Partners to provide solar generators for Sustainable Living Festival 17-19th Feb
Sustainable Living Festival is Australia's largest and oldest sustainability event - attracting over 100,000 people to Melbourne's federation square each year. CTP is powering the "The Shed" - a presentation space highlighting the latest in sustainable design - with 100% solar energy. We'll be on site for the duration of the festival located beside "The Shed" so come down for a chat, get inspired and check the latest in sustainable technology.

Happy New Year from Clean Technology Partners! New Website!
Well the festive season has come and gone and the (somewhat blurry) eyes are trained on the horizon - 2012 is upon us. Clean Technology Partners would like to thank its customers for their support in 2011 and look forward to working with you in the evolving landscape of the Australian Solar Industry in 2012. To kick start the year we are launching a new website - with more information, better defined services and highlight projects completed in 2011. If you'd like to discuss how we can assist you in delivering larger, more cost effective and better quality solar PV projects in 2012 - get in touch, we'd love to hear from you. Lachlan and Matt-
