List of Australian Large PV Systems

List of Australia Large Scale Solar PV, Commercial Solar PV, Utility Scale Solar PV Projects

SunWiz maintains an extensive list of projects larger than 40 kW in Australia. Note that the list below not maintained on our public website – though we can sell you the full and updated list if you like.

SunWiz has been involved in many innovative award-winning projects, for example Australia’s most sophisticated solar design: Metricon Stadium.

If your system is not on this list, or your company’s involvement is not mentioned, then please email me,
Make sure you complete the fields shown in the table (an identifying photo may suffice as a reference).
