Micro Solar Farm
Western Regional Planning Panel
The development proposal is for a micro solar farm and associated infrastructure including photovoltaic panels and a power station consisting of inverter, transformer and switchgears. The power station would act as the primary conduit for electricity from the facility prior to it being transferred via overhead powerlines to the nearby Essential Energy transformer.
A ‘micro’ solar farm differs from a conventional solar farm in that it occupies less land area and has a maximum output of less than 5 megawatts. The project would include the installation of a total of approximately 16,128 PV panels with the entire development having a footprint of approximately 18 hectares.
