Designing 210MW solar farm on complex terrain

Wandoan Solar Farm stage 1

Client

Hanwah Q-Cells

Location

Wandoan, Queensland

About The Project

Wandoan Solar Farm was the first of a major three-stage solar farm development across complex terrain, constrained by natural creeks and preservation areas as well as potential drilling sites for coal seam gas exploration. When fully operational, the solar farm will have the ability to power up to 400,000 homes each year.

Hanwah Q-Cells engaged CNF to produce a tender design package for the electrical and civil components of the 275 MWp stage 1 project.
