After several months of commissioning tests, the Cunderdin Hybrid Solar PV + BESS Project has reached full commercial operation and is now exporting 100 % power to the grid.
Candescent, a leading independent digital banking technology provider, has opened a new office in Bangalore to support ongoing talent investment and accelerate product delivery.
The project – officially inaugurated by Global Power Generation Australia( GPG Australia) – is pitched as a landmark achievement in Australia’ s clean energy journey, further reinforcing PV inverter and energy storage system provider Sungrow’ s position at the forefront of global solar-storage innovation.
Located in Cunderdin, Western Australia, the project features Sungrow’ s fully DC-coupled system architecture which connects the PV system directly with the battery storage to form an integrated and highly efficient energy solution.
The project stands as Australia’ s largest DC-coupled solar-plusstorage installation to date and marks GPG’ s first hybrid project.
As part of the South West Interconnected System( SWIS) – Western Australia’ s primary electricity network – the project plays a critical role in enhancing grid stability and renewable energy penetration.
The new office, located in International Tech Park and double the size of the company’ s previous facility, will serve as a regional innovation hub for more than 200 Candescent team members.
“ Our dynamic, dedicated team in Bangalore has been critical in bringing the development of our next generation user experience to life, which goes far beyond aesthetics. This new foundation enables us to better support financial institutions in their efforts to differentiate, grow and futureproof their organizations,” said Gareth Gaston, Chief Product Officer, Candescent.
“ Bangalore produces some of the strongest technology talent in India and we are excited to enhance our presence in this vibrant ecosystem,” said Anshuman Vatsyayan, Center Head for Candescent’ s Bangalore office.
“ We are confident this space will foster an inclusive, collaborative environment that enables our team to innovate with even more speed and efficiency as we continue to grow.”

Korean agritech innovator Farmers Lab Ltd has unveiled BK Conveyor Culture( BKCC), a next-generation vertical farming system designed to solve key limitations of traditional fixed-rack setups.
BKCC employs a horizontal conveyor structure that rotates trays around a central axis, delivering labour-saving efficiency and simplified daily operations.
The system has been fully installed and approved for completion at an R & D center in Singapore.
To strengthen its smart farming capabilities, Farmers Lab Ltd is partnering with Blue Lab, a technology leader in precision agriculture, to implement AI-based automation for climate and nutrient control. This integration will allow real-time adjustment of environmental factors and further reduce manual intervention.
“ BKCC was built on years of extensive field experience and practical trials,” said Seungwan Lee, Founder, Farmers Lab Ltd.“ Our goal is to provide a system that is affordable, efficient and easy to operate – particularly for new-generation farmers and emerging agri-markets.”
