Move over Elon: global energy prize goes to Australia's solar guru

The “father of PV” – University of New South Wales professor Martin Green – has become the first Australian to win the global energy prize from a shortlist that included Tesla’s Elon Musk.

‘We’re looking at hitting a terawatt of solar
production in 2024,” says Australia’s prize-winning
  photovoltaics expert Prof Martin Green. 

UNSW said Green had been selected from 44 contenders from 14 countries by a committee of leading scientists to share the $820,000 prize with Russian scientist Sergey Alekseenko, an expert in thermal power engineering.
