Energy Wealth
Iron Matrix is founded on the principle of energy wealth where we minimise the amount of energy spent to access the greatest amount of energy.

Our Mission
To generate, store and deliver the cheapest energy on the planet.
How we do it
We build Energy Wealth by maximizing energy generated while minimizing energy used.
What we do
Iron Matrix is a patented, modular steel construction technology that allows anyone to make buildings out of solar panels.
Robot manufactured parts, flat-packed for transport and hand installed without cranes, scaffolding or earth works.

Why we’re different
Iron Matrix was specifically developed to take advantage of the one feature solar panels have but fossil fuels will never have – a flat sheet of glass.
In 2018, solar panels became cheaper than installed structural plywood. However, traditional building structures would stress a solar panel in unacceptable ways. Tempered glass can not be cut or subject to tension or compression.
Iron Matrix was designed to be a lower cost, strong structural steel framework that allows solar panels to be mounted directly to it.
Interior designs can be fully customized to create the look and feel of any traditional home.
An Iron Matrix roof will deliver 3 times the power for 1/3rd the cost of a Tesla Solar Roof.

One of the best and safest investments you can make right now is in your own power generation. At best, banks pay 1-2%. However, a solar generation asset that avoids the cost of transmission can offer 10-20% returns on capital by offsetting electricity and fuel bills....
Another StoryBox
A new StoryBox is being installed this week in Sydney, Darling Harbor. These boxes are covered in solar panels and share stories on double LED screens at a height that will engage passers-by. If you want to know more, follow the link below;...
Backyard Studio
Iron Matrix can be both an easy way to extend your house and a low cost means of clean energy generation. Here's an example of a backyard office that will generate up to 24kWh ($6/day) in electricity.
The Deficit Myth and Energy Wealth
Over the break I read Stephanie Kelton's 'The Deficit Myth'. Released this past June and heralded as the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) bible. Professor Kelton's core premise is that countries with monetary sovereignty, issuers of their own currency, can and should...
Iron Matrix @ Spark Festival
Iron Matrix started with a simple question, "why?". The answer turned out to be 'Energy Wealth'.This year I was fortunate to be asked to present at Spark Festival. Here's the story of Iron Matrix and how reading "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" was...
Solar Sign
The first question potential investors ask; "Who's your target market?".And the absolutely wrong answer is "Everyone".Apparently.But it was the truth. Show us someone who doesn't want a lower cost structure with the cheapest energy and we'll show you someone who isn't...
2020 Energy Innovation of The Year
A big day for the Iron Matrix - Clean Energy Structures team. Last night we were awarded the 2020 Energy Innovation of the Year.For nearly 6 years now, we've been working on an Energy Wealth solution that can genuinely compete with hydrocarbon fossil fuels...

It's time to scale. The killer feature of solar + batteries is what it doesn't have - moving parts. This means that uniquely, solar + batteries can be modularly engineered and scaled without loss of efficiency. Its actually more efficient to locate them as close as...
Off Grid Accommodation
Not for love or money can you find accommodation this Christmas in Western Australia. And if you want an off-grid escape amongst nature, there's zero hope.Seems like a good time for Iron Matrix to build some ultra-low impact, off grid, solar...
Generating New Ideas. Solving Big Problems.
Iron Matrix structures replace traditional building materials with solar panels to provide electricity at no incremental cost.
Combined with the latest battery technology, Iron Matrix can generate, store and deliver energy cheaper than fossil fuels.
