First Solar, Inc. installed the final advanced photovoltaic (PV) module at the Nyngan Solar Plant in New South Wales (NSW), completing module installation for Australia’s largest solar project. The 1.36 million modules that make up the 102MW (AC) Nyngan Solar Plant will produce enough electricity each year to power more than 33,300 average homes in NSW. Once complete, the plant will be the largest PV plant in the Southern Hemisphere.
“These 1.36 million modules will have a higher energy yield than traditional crystalline silicon modules, particularly in hot climates, will produce no carbon emissions and will require no water during operation,” Jack Curtis, First Solar’s regional manager for Asia Pacific said, “Utility scale solar PV is already cost competitive with conventional generation in many parts of the world and will increasingly deliver economic
