Modular solar specialist 5B’s pre-assembled and relocatable Maverick solar solution has been unfolded in another off-grid hybrid renewable energy project as the decarbonisation of Australia’s mining sector continues.
Remote power specialist Zenith Energy has completed a 16.9 MW deployment of Australian manufacturer 5B’s prefabricated Maverick solar array technology on a waste rock dump at Northern Star Resources’ Jundee gold mining operation in Western Australia.
The solar project, which comprises 342 of the modular plug-and-play Maverick units, is part of the larger 46.6 MW Jundee mine hybrid renewable energy power project, which is expected to provide about 56% of the mine site’s energy requirements.
The power plant, which also includes 24 MW of wind generation and a 12 MW/13.4 MWh battery energy storage system, is being delivered as part of a 15-year off-grid renewable…
