Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has partnered with Casella Family Brands, one of Australia’s largest family-owned wineries, to inaugurate a 5.7MW solar farm near its production site in Yenda, New South Wales, Australia.

The multi-million dollar solar farm comprises 8730 Trinasolar low voltage Vertex 650-655W (DEG21C.20) bifacial modules mounted on approximately one hundred TrinaTracker (a business unit of Trinasolar) Vanguard 2P trackers, capable of generating 11.53GWh of electricity annually. This output will fulfil approximately 35 per cent of the power needs of the Yenda facility, which processes and bottles the majority of Casella Family Brands’ portfolio, including the world-renowned [yellow tail] wine.

The solar farm also marks a paradigm shift as it’s the first in the entire Asia Pacific region to fully integrate Vanguard 2P trackers with these large format low voltage 650-655W modules. This combination results in significant savings on electrical components and installation labour, and a significant levelised cost of energy (LCOE) reduction as more large-size modules in longer electrical strings, and therefore more overall generation capacity, can be mounted on each tracker.
