Development of the Darlington Point Solar Farm will begin in March.
It will feature more than 820,000 Canadian Solar HiKu modules (CS3W-P), each unit with an average of over 400W.
The PV modules will be installed on single-axis solar tracking systems covering 2,000 acres.
The project is slated for completion in early 2020. Once operational, it is expected to generate enough power to meet the requirements of more than 115,000 homes in New South Wales. In addition, it will annually eliminate almost 600,000t of carbon dioxide emissions.
