The $200 million Wemen Solar Farm generates 109MW from two large photovoltaic arrays on over 300 hectares of land located south of the Murray River near Robinvale in Victoria. The solar arrays employ single axis tracking system. RBG was engaged by RCR to undertake the detailed design for the entry road, over 10km internal roads, hardstands, foundations for portable building, substation and containerised inverters.
RBG undertook the optimisation of the array layout through three-dimensional modelling of the earthworks, array pile height and torque tube gradients.
