The Merredin Solar Farm is the largest solar farm in WA, made up of 360,000 Risen Energy panels covering 462ha of farming land. The panels are mounted on a tracking system that allows the panels to rotate and follow the direct sunlight through the day, maximising their output.
The farm can create 281GWh of electricity annually, generating enough energy to power approximately 42,000 homes.
The farm is quite a sight and if you look at the satellite images you will get an idea of the size of the farm.
