Having recently built the largest (125MWac) integrated industrial use solar plant in Australia and, in conjunction with sister company Ark Energy Corporation, now building the SunHQ Hydrogen Hub, we are well on track.

Sun Metals is for the future - our decisions are based on long term sustainability and this is reflected in our current and future investment plans.
