It was referred to the JRPP as the development was for infrastructure undertaken by a private developer with a capital investment value over $5 million.<\/p>\n<p>The project will occupy 8.13 hectares of a 133-hectare lot that is part of a larger property holding known as \u201cKanowna\u201d. In addition to PV, the $6 million project will also feature 20 MWh of energy storage capacity, spread across 8 battery containers.<\/p>\n<p>Seraphim&#8217;s 325W MX solar panels feature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/maxim-just-killed-microinverter-dc-optimiser\/\">Maxim technology<\/a>, a form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/good-solar-guide\/panel-level-optimisation\/\">panel level optimization<\/a> that consists of 3 tiny chips embedded in the panel. According to the company, the use of Maxim chips in the MX can minimize DC system mismatch losses and long-term degradation rates to boost production output by up to 5 percent compared to conventional panels.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are very pleased to be working with Seraphim on this ground-breaking project.
