It incorporates more than 360,000 Risen Energy solar panels ( 360\/365W monocrystalline 1500VDC modules) mounted on single axis trackers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/sma-review.html\">SMA inverters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The project is currently in the electrical installation phase. This includes the placing and cabling of the container mounted SMA inverters and routing of cables to connect the inverters to the solar farm substation,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.risenenergy.com.au\/news\/risen-energy-progressing-construction-of-the-yarranlea-solar-farm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> said<\/a> Andrew Owen, Risen Energy Australia&#8217;s Renewable Development Manager.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Approximately 110 workers are currently on site and the company says around 65% of workers involved with the construction have been sourced from the Darling Downs area. Once the facility is complete and operational, 3-5 full time workers will be required to maintain the facility.<\/p>\n<p>Risen Energy Australia General Manager Eric Lee says battery storage will be added to the clean power station at some point in the future. At the end of the facility\u2019s useful operating life &#8211; which is an expected 30 years &#8211; all components will be removed and the land returned to its former use (agriculture).<\/p>\n<p>Yarranlea isn&#8217;t Risen&#8217;s only large-scale PV project in Australia. In March this year, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for the company&#8217;s 132MW (DC) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/merredin-solar-farm-mb0979\/\">Merredin Solar Farm<\/a> project in Western Australia. At that point, commissioning and electricity sales were expected to commence in the final quarter of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Risen has previously stated it aims to have 2GW of its own projects in place in Australia over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>As well as on residential\/commercial rooftops and at its own PV projects, Risen&#8217;s solar panels are in use at another utility-scale project in Australia &#8211; Clermont Solar Farm, situated around 100 kilometres north of Emerald in Queensland. According to a RenewEconomy <a href=\"https:\/\/reneweconomy.com.au\/clermont-solar-farm-connects-to-the-grid-in-queensland-18789\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report<\/a>, Clermont Solar Farm began sending electricity to the grid last week.<\/p>\n<p>China-headquartered Risen Energy was founded in 1986 and has had a presence in the Australian market since 2008.
