“Cloud tracking allows solar power output to be accurately forecasted before cloud shadows move across solar panels,” he said.
“This reduces the need for battery storage and informs market bidding, ultimately increasing solar energy yield, resulting in cheaper power.
“There is potential for this technology to be combined with the next wave of solar PV plants built in Australia, including those seeking funding through ARENA’s $100 million large-scale solar competitive funding round.”

CWE and EMC have both had successful projects made possible through ARENA funding. Involvement with ARENA comes with certain conditions:
"Capturing and sharing knowledge is an essential requirement for all ARENA-supported activities. Sharing successes and learnings is critical to overcoming barriers and advancing renewable energy."

I would expect this initiative as well as many other ARENA supported projects will benefit both CWE and EMC.
