Coldplay x Kardinia Energy Kardinia Energy is delighted to announce that we are working with Coldplay to deliver Printed Solar on their Music of the Spheres world tour. A significant array of 500 square meters of Printed Solar is placed in the seats behind the stage and elsewhere in the venue to collect power in battery packs that are then used to power Coldplay’s C Stage and to fulfil other ancillary power needs throughout the venue. Printed Solar was first deployed by Coldplay during the European Leg of their Music of the Spheres Tour in 2024 and will continue to be deployed globally throughout 2025. This commitment to support next generation technology companies such as Kardinia Energy reflects Coldplay’s significant dedication to environmental responsibility and their desire to lead by example in the music industry. Beyond using this Printed Solar solution in the live concert environment, Kardinia Energy has received unsolicited interest and unprecedented demand from over 120 countries across hundreds of potential applications and use-cases. Working with Coldplay is enabling Kardinia Energy to provide a world-first solar energy solution in a real-world environment that can be deployed across the live concert industry initially, and then extended to limitless applications including industrial warehouses, disaster relief, remote communities and refugee camps. If you are attending Coldplay in Sydney this weekend, look out for the Printed Solar behind the stage! We are then heading to Auckland and across the world in 2025, demonstrating next-generation solar energy. With the support of the Trailblazer for Recycling and Clean Energy (TRaCE) program, University of Newcastle and The Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) researchers, Kardinia Energy plans to develop an Australian-based manufacturing facility to fast-track the technology to market. #kardiniaenergy #sustainability #printedsolar #coldplay #renewabletechnology #technology #greenenergy #NCRISimpact #ANFFNetwork

About us
Printed Solar is fully recyclable and addresses the requirement for energy generation within a circular economy. Following successful commercial-scale trials, the technology is now ready to transition to full scale manufacturing. Printed Solar uses specially developed ink to print energy on ultra-thin, flexible plastic sheet reels which can be rolled out onto flat or curved surfaces. Printed Solar does not contain any of the constituent materials found in traditional PV and is not reliant on the existing supply chain. Weighing just 2% (300 grams per square meter) of traditional silicon PV panels, the transparent lightweight sheets are not limited by the weight-bearing capacity of the roof or wall surface. Approximately 770 million of the world’s inhabitants (10%) do not have access to electricity, and 3 billion people (40%) do not have access to clean fuels for cooking. We believe our technology, with its economic viability and scalability, is perfectly positioned to make a significant social impact on a global scale to help address this fundamental human need, access to energy.

Kardinia Energy is honoured to be part of The Commonwealth at 75; a series of events created to highlight King Charles III’s focus on innovation and to showcase organisations from across the Commonwealth that are doing their part in helping to create a sustainable future. Part of these celebrations included a commemorative book published by St James House. Kardinia Energy was delighted to attend the launch event at Westminster Abbey with our very special guests, David Morris and Bill Haughey. This is fabulous recognition, not only for Kardinia Energy, but also for Professor Paul Dastoor who created this extraordinary technology.

Thank you Penny Sharpe - the Hunter has immense opportunities to showcase (and, importantly, deliver) innovation not only domestically, but globally.
Minister for Climate Change, Minister for Energy, Minister for the Environment and Minister for Heritage. Leader of the Government in the Upper House.
The Hunter Renewable Energy Transformation event was the perfect opportunity to share my excitement about what’s already happening in the region, and what lies ahead. The Hunter has just the right ingredients to become a global leader in the energy transformation. A community that understands industry and has worked closely with it for a very long time. A skilled workforce with transferable skills that can be used across the state. A history of working together at all levels – governments, businesses, unions and workers. A world class university and gold-standard skills training. And the willingness of the community, through a whole range of partnerships, to actually get it done. The future for local manufacturing really is bright -- just look at what's already happening at companies like Kardinia Energy, Energy Renaissance, SunDrive and MGA Thermal. Thanks for having me City of Newcastle, Australia – and thank you to the 100+ community members who joined us to discuss how the Hunter is grasping opportunities and working through the challenges as Labor's Energy Plan replaces ageing coal fired power plants with a sustainable energy future.

Kardinia Energy is honoured to be an Official Partner of The Commonwealth At 75. Kardinia Energy was invited to be part of the celebrations that will highlight King Charles III’s championing of the UK and the Commonwealth’s values and interests. This program has a particular focus on innovation and highlighting organisations that are getting involved in the global conversation and doing their part for a sustainable future. Kardinia Energy will be represented at Westminster Abbey in October to celebrate this program. The Commonwealth at 75 will also mark the appointment of King Charles III as the Head of the Commonwealth – a prominent position on the global stage. The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 56 independent countries and is home to 2.5 billion people — almost a third of the world’s population. It spans the six regions of Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe and the Pacific. It represents a fifth of the world’s land mass, a quarter of the UN’s membership, and more than a third of its waters are under national jurisdictions. Kardinia Energy's selection and inclusion in these celebrations highlights the unique characteristics of Printed Solar; a fully recyclable, low cost and lightweight source of renewable energy that is consistent with the themes of sustainability and the circular economy.
