About 5B

5B is a leading innovator in solar power technology, headquartered in Australia. Established in 2013 by solar engineers Chris McGrath and Eden Tehan, 5B has a singular mission: to accelerate access to low-cost, gigawatt-scale solar energy by revolutionising the solar supply chain and driving the rapid advancement of large-scale solar deployment worldwide.

Central to 5B's approach is the development of cutting-edge technology that streamlines the design, deployment and construction of solar projects. At the heart of their innovation lies the 5B Maverick, a modular, prefabricated solar solution designed to redefine the traditional methods of solar farm construction. This revolutionary system allows for swift semi-autonomous deployment by small crews, significantly reducing project timelines and costs.

Prefabrication is a cornerstone of 5B's philosophy, aimed at transferring tasks from the field to controlled factory environments. By doing so, the company ensures meticulous quality control and minimises the risks associated with on-site construction, such as faulty connections and module failures.

5B's commitment to advancing solar technology is evident in its global footprint, with over 140 project sites worldwide delivering world-class solar solutions.  

Through its flagship technology, the company aims to establish the 5B Maverick as the safest, fastest, and most cost-effective solar array technology available to customers globally, making clean energy more competitive and accessible than ever before.
