The Desert Knowledge Australia Solar Centre is a unique Australian facility in Alice Springs that demonstrates solar technologies to the general public, educators and the renewable energy industry. The Solar Centre has been operating as a working demonstration of the potential of solar power in Australia since 2008, and was awarded an Engineering Excellence Award in 2009 for its role in research and innovation.
An initiative of CAT Projects and Desert Knowledge Australia, the Solar Centre was funded by the Australian Government through the Regional Remote Power Generation Program
