A solar hot water panel and integrated tank on a house roof, 2006. The Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme was a program that paid domestic and other small energy customers for the surplus electricity generated from roof-top solar photovoltaic (PV) systems exported to the Queensland grid.
180 MW DC capacity. Started commercial operations in August 2018. Originally developed by Solar Choice. [3] [4] Sun Metals Solar Farm [5] Sun Metals 124 Operating 124 MW AC capacity. [6] Started exporting to the grid in May 2018. [7] Ross River Solar Farm [8] Palisade
The Solar Bonus Scheme ran from 2008 [48] to 2013, and rooftop solar is now in 27% of detached homes in south-east Queensland totalling more than 937MW of solar panels. [49] Over 1/3 of owners now receive 6.4 cents per kilowatt hour for surplus power fed back to the grid, and the remaining still receive the scheme's 44c/kWh. [ 50 ]
The Western Downs Green Power Hub is a large solar farm at the Kogan Creek Power Station near Chinchilla in Queensland, Australia. The photovoltaic solar power station uses one million solar panels to generate 400 megawatts of power. [2] It utilizes 72-cell bi-facial solar modules on single-axis trackers; a system that tracks the sun throughout ...
The Clare Solar Farm is a solar farm located 35 kilometres south-west of Ayr at Clare in North Queensland, Australia. The 125 megawatt DC power station is owned by Lighthouse Solar. [1] Construction commenced in 2016 [2] and was complete by May 2018. It features 393,300 single-axis tracking panels spread over 300 hectares. [3]
The Solar Flagships program sets aside $1.6 billion for solar power over six years. [43] The government funding is for 4 new solar plants that produce coal plant scale power (in total up to 1000 MW – coal plants typically produce 500 to 2,000 MW). This subsidy would need additional funding from the plant builders and/or operators.
The project combines big battery storage with big solar. [1] It consists of 41,440 solar panels. [1] Construction began in October 2016. The solar farm uses islanding to supply power to Lakeland without connecting to the wider grid. [1] The power station can generate 13 megawatts (MW) of power. [2] The battery is rated at 1.4 MW/5.32 MWh. [2]
The solar panels were supplied by JA Solar Holdings. [2] It was jointly developed by ESCO Pacific and Palisade Investment Partners. [2] The power station is expected to have an operating life of up to 40 years. [2] A new 1.2km-long, 132 kV underground transmission line connects the power station to the grid and was laid by Powerlink Queensland. [2]
