As well as having plenty of space, a very attractive aspect of the area to solar developers is its claim to 300 days of sunshine a year.<\/p>\n<p>Back in September, we reported\u00a0 Mareeba Shire Council approved plans for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/mareeba-solar-farm-mb0221\/\">Mareeba Solar Farm<\/a>, a facility that will consist of 196,000 solar panels and generate more than 147 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Council approved another solar farm in Mareeba &#8211; a 75MW facility to be constructed by Tilt Renewables.<\/p>\n<p>The clean power station will feature 200,000 solar panels and Council <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/mareeba-solar-farm-mb0221\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states<\/a> it will provide enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 21,000 homes, while avoiding 100,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.<\/p>\n<p>Tilt Renewables has several other solar projects at various stages across Australia, including\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/snowtown-north-solar-mb0322\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snowtown North<\/a> &#8211; a 45MW solar facility proposed for a site near Snowtown in South Australia that will incorporate up to 25MW of battery storage. In September, the company received the green light from Queensland&#8217;s Western Downs Regional Council to proceed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/western-downs-solar-farm-mb0218\/\">Western Downs Solar Farm<\/a>; a 250MW project.<\/p>\n<p>It seems Mareeba is rapidly becoming a popular spot for PV project developers. Late last week, a third application for a solar farm was submitted to council according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cairnspost.com.au\/news\/third-solar-farm-on-the-horizon-for-mareeba-shire\/news-story\/43663c29ba58d248db91668f2cae0cfa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cairns Post<\/a> (paywall). No other details are currently available on that project.<\/p>\n<p>On a much smaller scale, also approved at last week&#8217;s meeting was the installation of a 29.9kW solar panel system at the Mareeba Heritage Museum and Tourist Information Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Small business is also getting into solar in Mareeba. Another approval at the council meeting related to a proposed car wash business, which intends installing solar power &#8220;to further demonstrate the site\u2019s commitment to environmentally friendly development.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mareeba&#8217;s residents are making good use of the 300 days of sunshine a year. Clean Energy Regulator data indicates more than 1,532 small scale <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">solar power systems<\/a> are installed in the 4880 postcode (Mareeba district), representing approximately 7.2MW of collective capacity.\u00a0 The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.censusdata.abs.gov.au\/census_services\/getproduct\/census\/2016\/quickstat\/POA4880?opendocument\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 Census<\/a> put the 4880 postcode population at 13,295, which works out to around 540 watts of small-scale solar PV per person &#8211; a great effort!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queensland&#8217;s Mareeba region will be racking up a bunch of solar panels in the near future after another large-scale PV project was granted the go-ahead last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":17896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>More Solar To Power Up In Mareeba Shire - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Queensland&#039;s Mareeba region will be racking up a bunch of solar panels in the near future after another large-scale PV project was granted the go-ahead last week.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-power-mareeba-mb0383\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"More Solar To Power Up In Mareeba Shire\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Queensland&#039;s Mareeba region will be racking up a bunch of solar panels in the near future after another large-scale PV project was granted the go-ahead last week.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-power-mareeba-mb0383\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-12-24T19:40:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mareeba-solar-power.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"700\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"447\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-power-mareeba-mb0383\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-power-mareeba-mb0383\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"More Solar To Power Up In Mareeba Shire\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-12-24T19:40:00+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-power-mareeba-mb0383\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":407,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-power-mareeba-mb0383\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/mareeba-solar-power.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
