Solar Panels & Sun Glare

• Solar panels take sunlight and convert into electricity and use “high transmission, low iron glass” that absorbs more light.

• Solar panels treated with anti-reflective coating to maximise solar panel efficiency and power output.

• Solar panels are also roughened, a process called “stippling.” Stippled surfaces - also referred to as “dimpled” surfaces - diffuse reflection and, thus, eliminate glare.

• A solar panel reflects only a small portion of the light that falls on - about 1.5% - reflect significantly less light than say a calm pond.

• Solar panels will be installed facing North with a slope of 22° with reflection

Many projects throughout the US and the world have been installed near airports with no impact on flight operations

Noise & Emission From Solar Farm Noise• Solar panels do not make noise, while the assembled solar array will have minimal

noise, comparable to any other fixed infrastructure.• Inverters have a sound pressure level of about 60dB; transformers noise ranges from

60 to 80 dB – about the same amount of noise generated by a commercial air conditioner. Note sound pressure dissipates at 6dB for each doubling of distance.

EMF• Solar PV panels produce low levels of extremely low frequency (ELF) EMF, with

measured field strengths of less than 1mG at a distance of 7.5cm from the panel. • Solar installations use Australian Standard electrical power equipment power

inverters, transformers and conduits. As with all power plants, the amount of ELF-EMF of these devices is proportional to the electrical capacity of the system and is greater when more current (electricity) is flowing through a power line.

Emission• Unlike fossil fuel power generating facilities, solar facilities do not emit emissions or

other air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide during operations.

• The proposed solar energy facility will displace approximately 190 million tonnes of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions per year.

Solar as just another consumer product

Solar in Australia

Solar on Australian homes

• 1.6 million solar installs in Australia, total 5 GW of capacity

• Output estimated 6100 GWh of electricity in the 12 months to June 2016.

• WA – 207k rooftops with solar, a total of 600 MW of solar capacity.

• Mandurah (postcode 6210) – over 9.6k homes, 23.3 MW of capacity

Visitor Centre complex for solar farm• new, purpose built integrated visitor Centre

with integrated viewing platform / retail outlet including local craft and produce, as well as goods relevant to and promotional of the solar farm;

• tea house/café style outlet to cater for visitors and also for scheduled events on site;

• facilities to allow visits by educational groups, including a scitech style discovery facility on energy, and by researchers as well as farming and businesses groups, to learn about integrated solar / farm use; and

• re-purposed or new buildings and related installations to provide a demonstration of a range of cleantech solutions for rural and regional Australia including solar pumping, desalination, vertical greenhouses, and other technologies in the farm precinct.

25


Broad scale agriculture will continue on the farm with sheep grazing densities unaffected by the presence of the solar installation, and providing the benefit of vegetation control around the solar farm.

26

Jobs and the economyDirect Employment • Solar farm development is estimated to provide up to 150 direct jobs in Western

Australia during the installation and commissioning of the project over 9 months. The project will actively seek to employ available suitable local skills from the Shire of Cunderdin and neighbouring areas.

Indirect Employment • During the construction phase, a range of ancillary services will bring work to the

manufacturing, procurement, transportation and delivery of goods, as well as flow-on retail activities arising from the presence of the workforce.

Operations & Maintenance • The solar farm will operate for a minimum 25 years and will employ about 8-10

full-time and part-time jobs in the operation and maintenance over the lifetime of the installation.

Visitor complex • Operations of the visitor complex with landscaped grounds to encourage

researchers, educators, schools, businesses as well as tourists will bring around 6-8 full-time and part-time jobs on site.

This $160 million project will not only help create new jobs and other economic opportunities in the region, but also make a significant contribution to the Western Australian economy.
