Construction starts on Mildura solar power station
Fri, 13 January 2012
Solar Systems, a subsidiary of Silex Systems, has announced the commencement of Stage 1 construction work on what will be Australia’s largest solar power station, located in Mildura, north west Victoria.
Stage 1 of the project, involving the construction of a demonstration facility of up to 2MW capacity, is scheduled to be complete in late 2012.
This project will see the first full-scale commercial deployment of a grid connected solar power station using Solar Systems’ ‘Dense Array’ concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) technology.
Subject to satisfactory performance of the demonstration facility, grid connection and planning activities, a much larger 100 MW solar power station will be constructed on the same site, commencing in 2013 and due to be completed in 2016.
