HOW SOLAR WORKSSolar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roofs of

homes, businesses and solar farms use energy

from the sun to generate electricity cleanly

and quietly. The conversion of sunlight into

electricity takes place in cells of specially

fabricated semiconductor crystals.

THE LOCATIONThe site is is currently in agricultural use

and located immediately west of Emerald,

approximately 1.2km north of the Capricorn

Highway and will not be not visible from the

town. There will be no impact to surrounding

irrigation infrastructure during construction

or operation.
