25 June 2010

Solar project developer Ingenero is to install the largest flat solar panel facility in Australia at the University of Queensland.

Ingenero will be installing a 1.2MW SolFocus ground-mounted solar array, based on advanced high-efficiency concentrator photovoltaic technology, it said.

The system will house more than 5,000 polycrystalline silicon solar panels manufactured by manufacturer Trina Solar.

Steve McRae, CEO of Ingenero, said the installation represents the leading edge of commercial and industrial scale solar energy in Australia.

‘The University will substantially reduce their carbon footprint and provide an excellent learning facility for the future leaders in the renewable energy industry,’ McRae said.

As well as providing clean energy the solar array will also provide educational and research opportunities, the university said.
