The company will deliver more than 2,026,565 of its Series 4 thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules, which are expected to be compatible with the hot and humid environmental conditions of the Whitsunday region.

Construction of the solarfarms is scheduled to start in Q3 of this year, while the modules are set to be delivered by Q1, 2018.

"Both the Daydream and Hayman farms will use a technology solution that features single axis tracking technology."

Edify Energy chief executive John Cole said: “First Solar’s unique energy yield advantage enables our solar projects in North Queensland to produce more energy per MW installed than other available PV technology.

“This is of significant importance for asset owners and operators looking to maximise energy production.”
