7.2MW
Power Generation
10,870.13 MWh of clean electricity
Project Highlights
Astronergy, in partnership with RCR Green, successfully powered the 7.2MW Ashburton Solar Farm in the Canterbury region of New Zealand using 11,750 pieces of ASTRO N5 n-type solar technology modules. Connected to the grid in early December, the innovative solar farm is expected to generate approximately 10,870.13 MWh of clean electricity annually to meet the needs of over 2,500 households. The project, with its dual purposes of land use, functions as a sheep-based agrivoltaic system and provides a fertile environment for both sheep grazing and crop cultivation.
