Agrisolar News #12: Stage 2 Proposal Submitted!

We announce a great step forward!

The Agrisolar CRC Bid Stage 2 Proposal was submitted on the 9th of October 2025.

If successful at this stage, it will be full steam ahead with our Partners as we move into the actual implementation of our mission to inform holistic system designs that enable large-scale uptake of agrisolar, ensuring climate resilience for farmers and food security for Australians.

We are grateful to the CRC Advisory Committee’s selection panel that provided very constructive and helpful feedback, to which we have responded in our Stage 2 submission.

Our interview team, comprising Board Chair Diana, Board Members Karin, Peter, Rebecca and Chris, Bid Director Ben and International Advisory Group Chair Stephan, will defend the bid and answer questions at interviews with the selection panel in Canberra on the 26th of November 2025.

We expect to hear in the first quarter of 2026 whether the CRC is funded. If successful, establishment will commence in July 2026.
