The project web site states around 660,000, which would work out to around 540 watts each. There will be more if lower capacity modules are selected, fewer if a higher capacity is chosen.<\/p>\n<p>A number of manufacturers are already producing solar panels with capacities well exceeding 540 watts. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/trina-review.html\">TrinaSolar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/risen-review.html\"> Risen Energy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/canadian-solar-inc-review.html\"> Canadian Solar<\/a> are cranking out 670W modules.\u00a0These monster panels aren&#8217;t just big on power, but also physical size and weight; so they aren&#8217;t suitable for residential rooftops. TrinaSolar&#8217;s Vertex 670W is a whopping 2384 x 1303mm and weighs in at a hefty 33.9 kilograms<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wollar-solar-farm-mb2628\/#en-65470-2' id='enref-65470-2' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(65470)'>2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2>About Wollar Solar Farm<\/h2>\n<p>The project location is approximately 7km south of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/location\/wollar-2850-nsw\/\">Wollar<\/a>; an area with a population of just 69 people. The region is in the heart of coal country, with several mines within a 25 kilometre radius.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 878-hectare Wollar Solar Farm site, approximately 461 hectares will be developed for the clean power facility and associated infrastructure. There&#8217;s an existing TransGrid 330kV transmission line running across the property in the north eastern corner, which will be utilised to connect the solar farm to the grid.<\/p>\n<p>As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wollar-solar-farm-mb1025\/\">reported back in 2019<\/a>, there&#8217;s also an energy storage aspect to this project that will use lithium-ion batteries, with a capacity of up to 30 MWh.<\/p>\n<p>The project has been on the boards for quite a while &#8211; since at least early 2018 &#8211; and no doubt the developer is keen to get cracking. But there have been some related works already performed or underway; including access roads and TransGrid began work on a substation late last year.<\/p>\n<p>Wollar Solar Farm is expected to take around 18 months to build and require a workforce of 400 during peak construction activity. Local skills and expertise are to be utilised as much as possible. The facility is expected to have a service life of 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/wollarsolar.com.au\/\">Wollar Solar Farm here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A huge soon-to-be-constructed PV power station project in New South Wales will be a very nice score for a solar panel manufacturer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":65471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65470","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 v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wollar Solar Farm Seeking Solar Panel Supplier<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A huge soon-to-be-constructed PV power station project in New South Wales will be a very nice score for a solar panel manufacturer.\" \/>\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\/wollar-solar-farm-mb2628\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wollar Solar Farm Seeking Solar Panel Supplier\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A huge soon-to-be-constructed PV power station project in New South Wales will be a very nice score for a solar panel manufacturer.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wollar-solar-farm-mb2628\/\" \/>\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=\"2022-09-11T19:38:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/wollar-solar-farm.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\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\/wollar-solar-farm-mb2628\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wollar-solar-farm-mb2628\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Wollar Solar Farm Seeking Solar Panel Supplier\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-09-11T19:38:48+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wollar-solar-farm-mb2628\/\"},\"wordCount\":496,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wollar-solar-farm-mb2628\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/wollar-solar-farm.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
